Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

June 19, 1997.
    Take notice that on June 11, 1997, Columbia Gas Transmission 
(Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E. Charleston, West Virginia 
25314-1599, filed a request with the Commission in Docket No. CP97-578-
000, pursuant to Sections 157.205, and 157.216(b) of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to modify 
an existing point of delivery to Baltimore Gas & Electric Company (BGE) 
authorized in blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000, all 
as more fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    Columbia proposes to modify an existing point of delivery by 
replacing measurement, regulation and appurtenances to provide 
increased capacity for interruptible transportation service. Columbia 
states BGE would use the gas for industrial purposes as a result of 
obtaining a government contract. Columbia further states that the 
quantities to be provided will have no impact on Columbia's existing 
design day and annual obligations to its customers as a result of the 
modification to the existing point of delivery.
    Columbia reports that the estimated cost to modify the existing 
point of delivery would be approximately $392,700 and that BGE has 
agreed to reimburse Columbia in full, plus an estimated $133,100 for 
gross up for income taxes incurred by Columbia as a result of BGE's 
contribution.
    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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
