Take notice that on October 24, 1994, Tennessee Gas Pipeline
Company (Tennessee), P.O Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252-2511, filed in
Docket No. CP95-33-000 an abbreviated application pursuant to Section
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and Sections 157.7 and 157.18
of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations
thereunder, for permission and approval to abandon two natural gas
exchange services between Tennessee and Koch Gateway Pipeline Company

with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Tennessee states that it proposes to abandon two exchange services
initiated pursuant to agreements dated December 6, 1962, and January 9,
1970. Tennessee indicates that it provided its service under its Rate
Schedules X-16 and X-27, respectively. Tennessee further states that
the services were authorized in Docket Nos. CP63-181 and CP70-175,
respectively. It is indicated that on April 30, 1993, Tennessee
requested that Koch advise whether the services authorized in Docket
Nos. CP63-181 and CP70-175 were still required and that, if no response
was received by May 13, 1993, Tennessee would proceed with abandonment.
It is further indicated that Tennessee has received no such response,
and, therefore, requests abandonment. Tennessee also states that there
has been no activity under either service agreement since 1986. No
facilities are proposed to be abandoned.
Comment date: November 16, 1994, in accordance with Standard
Paragraph F at the end of this notice.
4. Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation
[Docket No. CP95-34-000]
Take notice that on October 24, 1994, Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West
Virginia 25314-1599, filed in Docket No. CP95-34-000 an application
pursuant to Section 7(c) and 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act requesting
authority to construct and operate certain replacement natural gas
facilities and permission to abandon the facilities being replaced, all
as more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection.
Columbia proposes to replace approximately 1.3 miles of
deteriorating 18-inch pipeline located in Greene and Madison Counties,
Ohio and designated as Columbia's Line A, with approximately 1.3 miles
of 20-inch pipeline. Columbia states that the sections proposed here
for replacement were constructed in 1944 and 1948, using coupled
pipeline and are the last coupled sections of Line A between Howell and
Mt. Sterling Stations to be replaced. Columbia reports that recent
examinations of Line A have confirmed general corrosion to the extent
that replacement is required in order to maintain service to Columbia's
existing customers.
Columbia states that it has concluded that since 18-inch pipeline
is a non-standard size and the cost difference in using 20-inch pipe in
place of 18-inch pipe is minimal, it will use 20-inch pipe for all
future age and condition replacements on this line. Columbia asserts
that the change in pipeline size will create a de minimus increase of
less than 300 Dth/d of added capacity. Columbia estimates the cost of
the proposed construction to be $557,200.
Comment date: November 16, 1994, in accordance with Standard
Paragraph F at the end of this notice.
Standard Paragraphs
F. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with

required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that a grant of the certificate and/or permission and approval
for the proposed abandonment are required by the public convenience and
necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if
the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal hearing is
required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for applicant to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
G. Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after

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.
