abandon approximately 0.01 mile of 2-inch transmission Line 10038 and

Pennsylvania. Columbia Gas makes such request under its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-776-000 pursuant to Section 7 of

with the Commission on open to public inspection.
    Columbia Gas states that it was authorized to own and operate the 
facilities proposed to the abandoned in this proceeding in Docket No. 
CP71-132-000. It is indicated that the subject facilities have not been 
used to provide service to CPA for more than ten years. By letter dated 
August 10, 1998, CPA advised Columbia Gas it no longer has use for 
Columbia Gas' Bethlehem Mines, Moore Shaft Measuring Station No. 
601046, located in Marianna, Pennsylvania. Columbia Gas is therefore,

    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 the 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protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 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.

Secretary.
