[Docket No. CP96-213-010]


Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Amendment

May 20, 1999.
    Take notice that on May 14, 1999, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 
22033, filed in Docket No. CP96-213-010 an abbreviated application 
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, to amend 
its certificates previously issued by the Commission in an ``Order 
Denying Rehearing and Issuing Certificates'' on May 14, 1997 and in 
amendment orders ``Order Amending Certificate'' on November 25, 1997, 
June 30, 1998 and April 2, 1999 in Docket Nos. CP96-213-000, et al., 
Columbia's Market Expansion Project (MEP) all as more fully set forth 
in the request that is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please call (202) 208-0400 for 
assistance).
    By this amendment, Columbia proposes to further amend its 
authorization to modify certain authorized projects in its Coco and 
Crawford Storage Fields, located in Kanawha County, West Virginia and 
Hocking County, Ohio respectively. The proposed modifications will not 
impact any other key project items or system capacities for MEP 
services and will not increase previous total MEP estimated costs.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should, on or before June 10, 1999, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in 
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rule of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission 
will be considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be 
taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding, or to 
participate as a party in any hearing therein, must file a motion to 
intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that permission and approval for the proposed certificate and 
abandonment are required by the public convenience and necessity. If a 
motion for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on 
its own motion believes that a formal hearing is required, further 
notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Columbia to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
