Columbia Gulf Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
July 8, 1998.
Take notice that on June 26, 1998, Columbia Gulf Transmission
Company (Columbia Gulf), 206 Augusta, STE 125, Post Office Box 683,
Houston, Texas 77001-0683, filed in Docket No. CP98-638-000, 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) and
Columbia Gulf's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-496-000,
pursuant to 18 CFR Part 157, Subpart F of the Natural Gas Act, to
construct and operate delivery facilities for Tennessee Valley
Authority (TVA), in Wilson, County, Tennessee, all as more fully set
forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and open to
public inspection.
Specifically, Columbia Gulf requests authorization to construct and
operate the delivery facilities for interruptible transportation
service to TVA to serve the Gallatin Plant and would provide the
service pursuant to its blanket certificate authority under existing
authorized rate schedules and within certificated entitlements and
pursuant to TVA's request. Columbia Gulf states that TVA has requested
interruptible transportation service of 240 MDth per day under Columbia
Gulf's Rate Schedule ITS-1.
Columbia Gulf indicates that the facilities would include a 12-inch
tap, 12-inch ball value, and 12-inch ring joint blind flange on its 30-
inch mainline lateral. Columbia Gulf states that the cost to construct
the facilities would be approximately $893,400 and would be paid for by
TVA. Columbia Gulf also states that it would comply with all of the
environmental requirements of Sections 157.206(d) of the Commission's
Regulations prior to the construction of any facilities.
In addition, it is indicated in the agreement between Columbia and
TVA that TVA would own and be responsible for the design and
construction of 2.3 miles of 12-inch lateral pipeline extending to its
Gallatin Plant. It is further indicated that nothing shall prohit or
restrict TVA from selling or otherwise transferring all or part of its
ownership interest in the lateral pipeline to a third party that will
transport gas through the lateral pipeline.
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) motion to
intervene of 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.

Acting Secretary.
