[Docket No. CP02-375-000]


Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

June 4, 2002.
    Take notice that on May 24, 2002, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 
22030-0146, filed in Docket No. CP02-375-000 an application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) to reclassify injection/
withdrawal Well No. 7368 to observation status and for permission and 
approval to abandon associated Well line 7368 consisting of 0.18 mile 
of 4-inch pipeline all located in Preston County, West Virginia in 
Columbia's Terra Alta Storage Field, all as more fully set forth in the 
application.
    Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are 
available for public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the 
web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``Rims'' link, select 
``Docket'' and follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for 
assistance).
    Columbia states that given the insignificant contribution of the 
well to storage deliverability, further expenditure to maintain these 
facilities as active injection/withdrawal facilities is not justified. 
Columbia further states that the well itself can still perform a 
valuable function if converted to observation status. Columbia avers 
that such actions would not result in any change in the deliverability 
or annual turnover of the Terra Alta Storage Field.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to 
Fredric J. George, Senior Attorney, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation, P.O. Box 1273, Charleston, West Virginia 25315-1273 at 
(304) 357-2359, fax (304) 357-3206.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before June 25, 2002, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street, NE. Washington, DC 20426, a motion to 
intervene 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). A person obtaining party 
status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary 
of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the 
applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of 
filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant 
and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the 
proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the 
proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest. However, the non-party commenters will not 
receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the 
Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by 
the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the 
Commission's final order.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and 
the instructions on the Commission's web site under the ``e-filing'' 
link.
    If the Commission decides to set the application for a formal 
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the Commission will issue 
another notice describing that process. At the end of the Commission's 
review process, a final Commission order approving or denying a 
certificate will be issued.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
