[Docket No. CP00-405-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

July 19, 2000.
    Take notice that on July 17, 2000, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 
22030-0146, filed a request with the Commission in Docket No. CP00-405-
000, pursuant to Section 157.205, 157.211 and/or 157.216(b) of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for 
authorization to replace 10.1 miles of 20-inch pipeline in three 
segments of its Line KA located in Mingo County, West Virginia 
authorized in blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000, all 
as more fully set forth in the request 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 (call 202/208-2222 for 
assistance).
    Columbia proposes to replace 10.1 miles of its 20-inch pipeline due 
to the age and condition of the pipe. The pipeline would be replaced 
with an approximate like amount and a like size pipeline. Columbia 
states, that approximately 3.7 miles of the pipeline would be replaced 
on existing right-of-way and would involve a typical lift and lay 
procedure. The remaining 6.4 miles would be replaced using a new right-
of-way. Columbia states the new right-of-way is required to move the 
pipeline from its existing location along a creek bank to the ridge 
top. The pipeline being replaced through the lift and lay procedure 
would be abandoned by removal, and the remainder of the pipe would be 
abandoned in place.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the 
Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or 
notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of the 
Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If 
no protest is filed within the allowed time, the proposed activity 
shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day after the time 
allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 
within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant 
request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant 
to Section 7 of the NGA.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
