Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

August 17, 1998.
    Take notice that on August 6, 1998, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 
22030, filed in Docket No. CP98-711-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to construct and 
operate a new point of delivery at the request of the City of Lancaster 
in Fairfield County, Ohio, under Columbia's blanket certificate issued 
in Docket No. CP83-76-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, 
all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Columbia states that the construction of the new delivery point has 
been requested by City of Lancaster for firm transportation service for 
residential, commercial and industrial service. City of Lancaster has 
not requested an increase in its total firm entitlements in conjunction 
with this request. The estimated cost to construct the new point of 
delivery is $23,164 and City of Lancaster will reimburse Columbia 100% 
for the cost. Columbia states that the estimated quantities of natural 
gas to be delivered at the new point of delivery is 15,000 Dth/day and 
1,000,000 Mcf/annually. Interconnecting facilities will consist of a 6-
inch tap and valve.
    Columbia states that the new point of delivery will have no effect 
on peak day and annual deliveries, that its existing tariff does not 
prohibit addition of new delivery points and that deliveries will be 
accomplished without detriment of disadvantage to its other customers 
and that the total volumes delivered will not exceed total volumes 
authorized prior to this request.
    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) a motion to 
intervene or 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
