Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

January 24, 1997.
    Take notice that on January 17, 1997, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314, filed in Docket No. CP97-199-000 a request pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to 
construct and operate an additional point of delivery in Greensville 
County, Virginia, under Columbia's blanket certificate issued in Docket 
No. CP83-76-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as 
more fully set forth in the request that is on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    Columbia proposes to construct and operate an additional point of 
delivery for firm transportation service to Commonwealth Gas Services, 
Inc. (COS), and will provide the service pursuant to Columbia's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP86-240-000 under existing authorized 
rate schedules and within certificated entitlements. The estimated 
quantity delivered at this point will be 1600 Dth/day and 106/090 Dth 
annually. As part of the firm transportation service to be provided, 
COS has requested that their existing SST Agreement with Columbia be 
amended by increasing 1600 Dth/day at the proposed new Georgia-Pacific 
point of delivery and reducing the MDDOs at the existing Portsmouth #4 
point of delivery by 1600 Dth/day. The quantities of natural gas to be 
provided through the new point of delivery will be within Columbia's 
existing design day and annual customer obligations. Columbia states 
that the construction cost is estimated at $99,800 and that COS will 
reimburse Columbia 100% of the total actual cost of construction.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (19 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed 
and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
