[Docket No. CP98-209-000]
Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
February 5, 1998.
Take notice that on January 28, 1998, Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia
22030, filed in Docket No. CP98-209-000, 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 Commonwealth Gas
Services, Inc. (COS) in Goochland County, Virginia, and to reassign and
reduce the maximum daily delivery obligation (MDDOs) at another
existing point to COS, under Columbia's blanket certificate
authorization 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
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Columbia proposes to construct and operate a new point of delivery
to COS which will consist of installing two 4-inch taps, filter
separator, meter settings and electronic measurement facilities in
Goochland County, Virginia, known as the proposed West Creek delivery
point. Columbia says COS has requested the new delivery point for
additional firm transportation service for residential, commercial, and
industrial service. Columbia asserts that COS has not requested an
increase in its total firm entitlement; therefore, there is no impact
on Columbia's existing peak day obligations to its other customers as a
result of this new point of delivery.
Columbia relates that the total cost of the project will be
approximately $127,300. Columbia says the facilities on Line VM-108
will cost approximately $118,800, which COS will reimburse to Columbia.
In addition, Columbia will install a backup tap on nearby adjacent Line
VM-109 to provide Columbia and COS with increased flexibility and
operational security at a cost of $8,500. Columbia will pay for the
backup tap.

Columbia states it will provide service to COS pursuant to
Columbia's blanket certificate in Docket No. CP86-240-000, under
existing authorized rate schedules, and within certificated
entitlements. COS has requested that its existing Storage Service
Transportation (SST) agreement with Columbia be amended by reducing the
MMDOs at the existing Monacan point of delivery by 500 Dth per day and
reassigning 500 Dth per day to the proposed West Creek point of
delivery. Columbia says it will provide firm service to COS at the West
Creek delivery point under its Rate Schedule SST with a maximum daily
quantity of 500 Dth and an estimated annual quantity of 50,000 Dth.
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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
