[Docket No. CP00-92-000]


CNG Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

March 1, 2000.
    Take notice that on February 22, 2000, CNG Transmission Corporation 
(CNG), 445 Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, tendered for 
filing in Docket No. CP00-92-000 an application, pursuant to Sections 
7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's 
Regulations seeking permission and approval to abandon Well 9081 and 
associated facilities and to drill up to five new replacement wells 
(13059, 13060, 13061, 13062, and 13063) all within the Bridgeport 
Storage Pool located in Harrison and Taylor Counties, West Virginia, 
all as fully set forth in the application which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may be viewed on 
the web at http://www.ferc.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for 
assistance).
    CNG states that this authorization is necessitated by the proposed 
construction of the Bridgeport Bypass Project by the West Virginia 
Department of Transportation, Division of Highways. CNG also states 
that it will construct and abandon storage gathering lines pursuant to 
blanket certificate authority granted in Docket No. CP82-537-000 (21 
FERC para. 62,172 (1982)).
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Sean 
R. Sleigh, Manager, Certificates, CNG Transmission Corporation, 445 
West Main Street, Clarksburg, WV 26301 (304) 623-8462 (voice) and (304) 
623-8305 (fax).
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 22, 2000, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or protest in accordance 
with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214) and the regulations under the 
NGA (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 the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any 
person wishing to become a party in any proceeding must file a motion 
to intervene in accordance with the Commission's rules.
    A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service 
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive 
copies of all documents issued by the Commission, filed by the 
applicant, or filed by all other intervenors. An intervenor can file 
for rehearing of any Commission order and can petition for court review 
of any such order. However, an intervenor must serve copies of comments 
or any other filing it makes with the Commission to every other 
intervenor in the proceeding, as well as filing an original and 14 
copies with the Commission.
    A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of such 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents, and will be able to participate in meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission, and will 
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a Federal court.
    The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally, 
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Commission by 
Sections 7 and 15 of the NGA 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, if the Commission 
on its own review of the matter finds that the proposal is 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 provide for, unless otherwise advised, it will 
be unnecessary for CNG to appear or to be represented at the hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
