[Docket No. CP01-359-000]


Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Application

May 17, 2001.
    Take notice that on May 4, 2001, Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI), 
445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 26301, filed in Docket 
No. CP01-359-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural 
Gas Act (NGA) for permission and approval to abandon its storage well 
N205S, located in its Woodhull Storage Field in Steuben County, New 
York, all as more 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.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-
208-2222 for assistance).

[[Page 28452]]

    DTI proposes to abandon its storage well N205S and to convert it to 
an observation well in the Woodhull Storage Pool. DTI requests 
authorization to abandon N205S because the expenditures required to 
maintain this well and the gathering lines that connect it to DTI's 
mainline are not operationally or economically justified. DTI also 
states that, due to continuing problems with the well and the 
connecting gathering line, the well has been unavailable to the 
gathering system each withdrawal season and is contributing nothing to 
pool deliverability. DTI states that the pool deliverability will be 
unaffected if well N205S is abandoned and converted to an observation 
well. DTI further states that it plans to abandon the lines that 
connect well N205S to DTI's mainline, specifically 1200 feet of 6-inch-
diameter well line LN720S and 500 feet of 8-inch-diameter well line 
LN695S, under DTI's Part 157 blanket certificate authority.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed in 
writing to Sean R. Sleigh, Manager, Certificates, Dominion 
Transmission, Inc., 445 West Main Street, Clarksburg, West Virginia 
26301 or by telephone at (304) 627-3462.
    Any person desiring to be heard or any person desiring to make any 
protests with reference to said application should on or before June 7, 
2001, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest 
in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 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 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. Comments, protests 
and interventions may be filed electronically via the internet in lieu 
of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the 
Commission's web site at http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory 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 
permission and approval for the proposed 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 DTI to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
