[Docket No. CP05-44-000]


Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

January 18, 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 pursuant to 
Sections 157.205, 157.208, and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations 
under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission (Commission), 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 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.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to 
counsel for Columbia Gulf, Frederic J. George, Senior Attorney, 
Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation, PO Box 1273, Charleston West 
Virginia 25325-1273; telephone 304-357-2359, fax 304-357-3206.
