Mountaineer Gas Company and Secondary Market Transactions on 
Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines; Notice of Application

September 5, 1996.
    Take notice that on August 30, 1996, Mountaineer Gas Company 
(Mountaineer) filed and application to participate in the Commission's 
experimental pilot program for capacity release transactions. 
Mountaineer requests authorization to release capacity on Columbia Gas 
Transmission Corporation (Columbia) and Columbia Gulf Transmission 
Company (Columbia Gulf) at prices in excess of the pipelines' maximum 
tariff rates. According to Mountaineer, the company provides open 
access transportation on its local distribution facilities and does not 
exercise market power in its service territory. Mountaineer also states 
that both Columbia pipelines have agreed to implement the Business 
Practices Rule and provide the required reporting data. Mountaineer 
also agrees to provide the necessary reporting data.
    Any person desiring to comment on or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's 
regulations. All such interventions or protests must be filed within 15 
days and comply with the requirements in Section 154.210 of the 
Commission's Regulations. Protests will be considered by the Commission 
in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve 
to make protestants parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to 
become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of Mountaineer's 
filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public 
inspection in the Public Reference Room.

Secretary.
