section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), for permission and approval 
to abandon by sale certain natural gas facilities located in various 
Ohio counties and to abandon the services being provided through these 
facilities. Columbia also requests that the Commission find the 
facilities, when sold, as exempt from the Commission's jurisdiction 
pursuant to section 1(c) of the NGA, as more fully set forth in the 
application which is open to public inspection. This filing may be also

    The facilities that Columbia proposes to abandon by sale for $6.5

approximately 217 miles of storage and transmission pipeline, three 
compressor stations, various delivery and receipt points, mainline 
taps, rights-of-way, leases, and appurtenances. Columbia states that 
Cobra, operating as an intrastate pipeline in Ohio, would continue to 
provide firm transportation service to customers currently serve via 
the subject facilities. Columbia also states that Cobra would provide 
service to the customers on a non-discriminatory basis in accordance 
with its tariff pending approval by the Public Utility Commission of 
Ohio.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Frederic J. George, Lead Counsel, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation, P.O. Box 1273, Charleston, West Virginia 25325-1273, or 
via telephone at (304) 357-2359 and facsimile number (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 stated 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 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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. 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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    Comment Date: September 29, 2006.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
