Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

April 10, 1996.
    Take notice that on April 8, 1996, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), P.O. Box 1273, Charleston, West Virginia, 
25325-1273, filed in Docket No. CP96-301-000 a request pursuant to 
Section 157.205, and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, and 157.216) for approval to abandon 
certain obsolete facilities in Tioga County, New York, under Columbia's 
blanket certificate authority issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000, 
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as more 
fully set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    Columbia proposes to abandon transmission Line Y consisting of 
approximately 0.06 mile of two-inch pipeline and to abandon a portion 
of transmission Line AD-31 consisting of approximately 0.14 mile of 
four-and six-inch pipeline, and all appurtenances associated with these 
pipelines located in Tioga County, New York. Columbia states that these 
facilities are operated under certificate authorization granted to 
Columbia's predecessor company, Home Gas Company, in Docket No. G-345. 
Columbia further states that the jurisdictional facilities for which it 
seeks abandonment authorization serve no useful purpose and are no 
longer required. It is indicated that there is no gas consumer on these 
facilities and that Columbia has no purchase gas agreements which 
utilize the subject facilities.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.214), a motion to intervene 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 activities 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and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
