    Columbia proposes to: (1) Abandon by transfer to NiSource Midstream 
Services, LLC (NMS), a non-jurisdictional affiliate of Columbia, on its 
Line 1528 approximately 3.8 miles of 16-inch diameter pipeline and 
appurtenances in Marshall County, West Virginia, and Greene County, 
Pennsylvania, at their net book value of $2,700,000; (2) transfer 
measurement facilities in Marshall County to NMS; (3) abandon by sale 
to Texas Eastern Transmission, L.P. (Texas Eastern), approximately 2 
miles of 16-inch pipeline on Columbia's Line 1528 in Marshall County 
and Greene County; and (4) seek a determination that NMS' acquired 
segment of Line 1528 would be part of the upstream gathering system and 
exempt from the Commission's jurisdiction under the NGA. Columbia 
states that no construction or removal of facilities would be required 
in this proposal.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Frederic J. George, Senior Counsel, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC, 
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 seven 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.

[[Page 51031]]

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 2, 2010.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
