Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

October 23, 1998.
    Take notice that on October 13, 1998, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 
22030-0146, filed in Docket No. CP99-14-000 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 additional points of delivery for firm 
transportation service to existing customers, 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 states that the customers involved are Mountaineer Gas 
Company (MGC) and Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc. (COH). The location of the 
new point of delivery for MGC is in Upshur County, West Virginia and 
COH's two new points of delivery are in Medina County, Ohio. The 
estimated quantities of natural gas to be delivered for each of the 
three new points of delivery is 1.5 Dth/day and 150 Dth/annually. The 
end use of gas for all three is residential and the estimated costs to 
establish the three new points of delivery is approximately $150 each 
and will be treated as O&M Expenses.
    Columbia proposes to construct and operate a new point of delivery 
to MGC in Upshur County, West Virginia which will involve construction 
of interconnecting facilities located on Columbia's existing right-of-
way. MGC will install a meter within Columbia's existing right-of-way 
to provide this service. The new point of delivery will allow MGC to 
serve Steve Carpenter, a residential customer.
    Columbia proposes to construct and operate the new points of 
delivery to COH in Medina County, Ohio which will involve construction 
of interconnecting facilities located on Columbia's existing right-of-
way. COH will install meters within Columbia's existing right-of-way to 
provide these services. The new points of delivery will allow COH to 
serve Tim A. Hawkins and Paul Stafinski, both are residential 
customers.
    Columbia states that the new points of delivery will have no effect 
on peak day and annual deliveries, that its existing tariff does not 
prohibit the addition of new delivery points and that deliveries will 
be accomplished without detriment or disadvantage to its other 
customers and that the total volumes delivered will not exceed total 
volumes authorized prior to this request.
    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 therefore, 
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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
