[Docket No. CP04-19-000]


Dominion Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Application

December 3, 2003.
    Take notice that on November 24, 2003, Dominion Transmission, Inc. 
(Dominion), 120 Tredegar Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, filed in 
Docket No. CP04-19-000, an application pursuant to section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), for permission and approval to abandon five gas 
storage wells in the Oakford Storage Complex in Westmoreland County, 
Pennsylvania, all as more fully set forth in the application which is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing 
may also be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the 
``eLibrary'' link, select ``Docket '' and follow the 
instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Dominion states that the five gas storage wells are geographically 
located in the Oakford Storage Complex, and were intended for potential 
use as gas storage wells after the reservoir gas had been sufficiently 
depleted. However, the wells have never been utilized to provide 
storage service by either the injection or withdrawal of gas in the 
storage field. Dominion explains that the wells are, in essence, 
production wells and their plugging and abandonment will not affect the 
operational capabilities or diminution of service of the Oakford 
Storage Complex.
    Any questions concerning this amendment may be directed to Anne E. 
Bomar, Managing Director, Attn.: Lorriane Cote, Dominion Transmission, 
Inc., 120 Tredegar Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, at (804) 819-2881 
or fax (804) 819-2064.
    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 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) by the comment date, below. 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.
    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. 
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
    Comment Date: December 15, 2003.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
