transferred to low pressure service in order to maintain service to 
five mainline tap customers in Docket No. CP95-240-000. Columbia 
indicates that the transfer was necessary due to the relocation of a 
pipeline corridor in deteriorating Line KA. It is indicated that the 
proposed abandonment will not result in any loss of service to any 
customer because they are currently being provided service by Wyoming 
Natural Gas, a local distribution company. It is further indicated that 
Mountaineer and the customers agree to the proposed abandonment.
    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 therefore, 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not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the 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.

Secretary.
