Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

August 8, 1997.
    Take notice that on August 1, 1997, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314, filed a prior notice request with the Commission in 
Docket No. CP97-679-000 pursuant to Section 157.205 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to 
construct and operate an additional delivery point for firm 
transportation service to Commonwealth Gas Services, Inc. (COS) in the 
City of Chesapeake, Virginia, under Columbia's blanket certificates 
issued in Docket Nos. CP83-76-000 and CP86-240-000 pursuant to Section 
7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the request that is open 
to the public for inspection.
    Columbia proposes to construct and operate an additional delivery 
point to serve COS' commercial and residential customers in the Deep 
Creek area of Chesapeake. Columbia proposes to reassign up to 5,000 
Dekatherms equivalents of natural gas per day (Dth/day) at the proposed 
Deep Creek delivery point and to reduce deliveries to COS by 5,000 Dth/
day at the existing Portsmouth #1 delivery point. Columbia would 
deliver up to 1,825,000 Dth annually under its FERC Rate Schedule SST 
at the proposed Deep Creek delivery point and within certificated 
entitlements to COS. Columbia states that COS would reimburse Columbia 
approximately $187,200 for the construction cost of the proposed Deep 
Creek delivery point.
    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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
