Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

September 25, 2003.
    Take notice that on September 12, 2003, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 
22030-0146, filed in Docket No. CP03-351-000, a request pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.208 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR Sections 157.205 and 157.208) for authorization 
to increase the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of portions 
of its existing transmission pipeline designated as Line 1655 and Line 
136 located in Adams and York Counties, Pennsylvania, under Columbia's 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000 pursuant to 
Section 7(C) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
request.
    Copies of this request are on file with the Commission and are 
available for public inspection. The application may also be viewed on 
the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the 
docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field to access the document. For assistance, please contact FERC 
Online Support at [email protected] or toll-free at (866) 208-
3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    Columbia states that the increased MAOPs are necessary in order to 
meet its existing contractual obligations. Columbia states further, 
that to the extent uncommitted capacity becomes available as a result 
of the uprate, Columbia would post such available capacity in 
accordance with the applicable provisions of its tariff.
    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 22030-0146 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 the comment date below, 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) and the Regulations under 
the NGA (18 CFR 157.205). 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.
    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 under the ``e-Filing'' 
link.

[[Page 56828]]

    If no protest is filed within the time allowed, therefore, 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 Natural Gas Act.
    Comment Date: October 16, 2003.

Linda Mitry,
Acting Secretary.
