Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

February 29, 1996.
    Take notice that on February 20, 1996, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, SE., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314, filed a prior notice request with the Commission in 
Docket No. CP96-205-000 pursuant to Section 157.205 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to 
upgrade an existing delivery point to Cincinnati Gas and Electric 
Company (Cincinnati) in Butler County, Ohio, under Columbia's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the request which is open to 
the public for inspection.
    Columbia proposes to upgrade its existing Millville/Menton Road 
Measuring Station \1\ in Butler County, at which Texas Eastern 
Transmission Corporation (TETCO) has agreed to install additional 
measurement and regulation equipment and station piping. Columbia 
states that the proposed modifications would increase the capacity of 
the Millville/Menton Road Measuring Station from its current capacity 
of 7,600 Dth/day to 14,000 Dth/day in order to deliver gas to 
Cincinnati, who would then deliver the gas to Oxford Natural Gas 
Company (Oxford) at their existing Butler County Interconnection. 
Columbia also states 

[[Page 8924]]
that it would pay the estimated construction cost of $146,640.

    \1\ Columbia owns this facility which is located on TETCO's Line 
1 and serves as a Columbia receipt point from TETCO, as well as a 
Columbia delivery point to Cincinnati.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Columbia states that it would provide gas service to Oxford under 
Rate Schedules FTS and ITS of its FERC Gas Tariff. Columbia also states 
that the contracted natural gas volumes would be within certificated 
volumes.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If 
no protest is filed within the allowed time, 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 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 NGA.

Secretary.
