[Docket No. CP05-44-000]


Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

January 12, 2005.

    Take notice that on January 5, 2005, Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Company (Columbia Gulf), 2603 Augusta, Houston, Texas 77057-5637, filed 
in Docket No. CP05-44-000, an application pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
157.205, 157.208, and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, and Columbia Gulf's blanket 
certificate authorization granted in Docket No. CP83-496-000,\1\ for 
authorization to replace 9.39 miles of its 30- and 36-inch pipeline 
designated as Mainlines 100, 200, and 300, located in Williamson and 
Davidson counties, Tennessee, due to a Department of Transportation 
(DOT) class location change of the pipeline. Columbia Gulf states that 
as a result of recent population density surveys required by DOT, it 
has determined that in order to maintain the current maximum operating 
pressure of the pipeline, the existing pipeline must be replaced by a 
heavier walled pipeline. Columbia Gulf does not propose the addition of 
new services or any changes to existing service as a result of the 
replacement. Columbia Gulf also seeks approval to abandon by removal an 
equivalent length of existing like sized transmission pipeline and 
appurtenances of its Mainlines 100, 200, and 300, which is being 
replaced. The pipeline will be replaced with an approximate like amount 
and a like size pipeline. The construction is proposed to take place 
within an existing right-of-way, is estimated to cost $15.6-million, 
and will involve a typical lift and lay procedure, all as more fully 
set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
