Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

March 10, 1997.
    Take notice that on March 4, 1997, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia Gas), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue S.E., Charleston, 
West Virginia 25314-1599, filed in Docket No. CP97-275-000 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 in 
McKean County, Pennsylvania, so that interruptible volumes can be 
delivered to Minard Run Oil Company (MRO). Columbia Gas makes such 
request under its 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 on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Specifically, Columbia Gas indicates its intent to render the 
interconnecting delivery facility operational by making use of an 
existing 4-inch tap, installing a 4-inch turbo meter setting and an 8-
inch filter separator. It is averred that the delivery facility will be 
used to provide up to 950 Mcf of natural daily to MRO for industrial 
use, and up to 346,750 Mcf annually. Columbia Gas states that the 
interruptible transportation service will be provided to MRO pursuant 
to Columbia Gas'

blanket authority, issued under Part 284 of the Regulations. It is 
further stated that the interruptible volumes to be delivered to MRO, 
will be within MRO's certificated entitlements. Columbia Gas does not 
anticipate that the interruptible service that it will provide through 
the proposed delivery facility, will detrimentally impact it's existing 
customers.
    Columbia Gas estimates the new delivery facility to cost 
approximately $38,398. It is indicated that MRO will reimburse Columbia 
Gas' total facility cost.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.

Secretary.
