Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

October 27, 1998.
    Take notice that on October 20, 1998, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 
22030-0146, filed in Docket No. CP99-27-000 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) seeking Natural Gas Act 
Section 7 certification for an existing point of delivery to Columbia 
Gas of Ohio, Inc., (COH) in Harrison County, Ohio, 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 requests certification of an existing point of delivery 
which was originally authorized under Section 311 of the Natural Gas 
Policy Act for transportation service to COH. Columbia states that COH 
has requested approximately 5,500 Dth/Day under Columbia's 
Interruptible Transportation Service (ITS) Rate Schedule. Columbia also 
states that the existing point of delivery is being utilized to serve a 
new coal processing plant.
    Columbia states that it constructed the existing point of delivery 
to COH and placed it in service on June 1, 1998. Columbia also states 
that interconnecting facilities installed by Columbia included a 6-inch 
tap and meter, filter separator and electronic measurement. Columbia 
states the existing point of delivery is being utilized for industrial 
service to serve a new coal processing plant. Columbia states the cost 
of constructing the point of delivery was $19,100.
    Columbia states that it has complied with all of the environmental 
requirements of Section 157.206(d) of the Commission's Regulations 
during the construction of the existing point of delivery.
    Columbia states that it anticipates that the services to be 
provided through the interconnection will be provided on an 
interruptible basis and therefore, no impact is expected on Columbia's 
existing design day and annual obligations to its customers as a result 
of the establishment of the new point of delivery.
    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.

Acting Secretary.
