Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

October 11, 1996.
    Take notice that on October 7, 1996, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314-1599, filed in Docket No. CP97-16-000, a request 
pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for 
authorization to construct and operate a new point of delivery to Ohio 
Cumberland Gas Company (OCGC), in Richland County, Ohio, under the 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000, pursuant to 
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
request which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Columbia states that the construction and operation of the new 
point of delivery has been requested by OCGC for firm transportation 
service for residential and industrial service. Columbia indicates that 
OCGC has not requested an increase in its peak day entitlements in 
conjunction with this request. Therefore, Columbia says there is no 
impact on Columbia's existing peak day obligations to its other 
customers as a result of the proposed new point of delivery. Columbia 
says it will provide transportation service for OCGC under Columbia's 
FTS Rate Schedule. Columbia estimates quantities will be 50 Dth per day 
and 18,250 Dth annually.
    Columbia relates that the estimated cost to construct this new 
point of delivery is $10,000 which includes gross-up for income tax 
purposes. Columbia says that OCGC has agreed to

reimburse Columbia 100% of the total actual cost of the proposed 
construction.
    Columbia says it will comply with all of the environmental 
requirements of Section 157.206(d) of the Commission's regulations 
prior to the construction of any facilities.
    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 (18 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
