[Docket No. CP00–382–000]

Columbia Gas Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Application

June 14, 2000.

Take notice that on June 9, 2000,

Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation

(Columbia), Post Office Box 1273,

Charleston, West Virginia 25325–1273

in Docket No. CP00–382–000 an

application, as supplemented on

September 28, 1999, pursuant to Section

7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to permit

Columbia to use firm capacity on

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company

(Tennessee) and National Fuel Gas

Supply Corporation (National Fuel), all

as more fully set forth in the application

which is on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection. This

filing may be viewed on the web at

http://www.ferc.us/online/rims.htm (call

202–208–2222).

Columbia proposes to use firm

capacity on Tennessee of up to 10,000

dt per day from Unionville, Beaver

County, Pennsylvania, to Highland, Elk

County, Pennsylvania, and to use firm

capacity on National Fuel of 6,608 dt

per day from Ellwood City, Beaver

County, Pennsylvania, to Lewis Run,

McKean County, Pennsylvania, both for

a primary term beginning November 1,

2000, and ending October 31, 2004, with

an evergreen provision.

It is stated that, by order issued

November 12, 1999, in Docket No.

CP99–625–000, Columbia was permitted

to acquire up to 16,476 dt of firm

capacity on Tennessee from Broad Run,

Kanawha County, West Virginia to

Highland, Elk County, Pennsylvania for

a period beginning October 1, 1999, and

ending March 31, 2000. Columbia

indicates it required the firm capacity

while it evaluated whether or not to

replace portions of its Lines 1818 and

1862. Columbia states that it has now

determined that it is more economical to

acquire capacity on a long term basis

from Tennessee and National Fuel than

repair or replace the two pipelines.

Columbia states that it will recover the

costs associated with the Tennessee and

National Fuel capacity in a subsequent

Transportation Cost Recovery

Adjustment filing.

Columbia also states that it will file an

application to abandon the portions of

Lines 1818 and 1862 located between

the Renova Compressor Station and

Smethport in the near future.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before July 5,

2000, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a

protest in accordance with the

requirements of the Commission’s Rules

of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulation

under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR

157.10). All protests filed with the

Commission will be considered by it in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken but will not serve to make the

protestants parties to the proceeding.

Any person wishing to become a party

to a proceeding or to participate as a

party in any hearing therein must file a

motion to intervene in accordance with

the Commission’s Rules.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas

Act and the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, a hearing will

be held without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that a grant of the

certificate and permission for

abandonment are required by the public

convenience and necessity. If a motion

for leave to intervene is timely filed, or

if the Commission on its own motion

believes that a formal hearing is

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Columbia to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

June 14, 2000.

Take notice that on June 6, 2000, as

supplemented on June 13, 2000, Eastern

Shore Natural Gas Company (Eastern

Shore), P.O. Box 1769, Dover, Delaware

19903–1769, filed in Docket No. CP00–

378–000 a request pursuant to Sections

157.205 and 157.211 of the

Commission’s Regulations (18 CFR

157.205 and 157.211) under the Natural

Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to

construct and operate a tap and meter

station in Kent County, Delaware to

provide interruptible service to First

State Power Management, Inc. (First

State), an end user, under Eastern

Shore’s blanket certificate issued in

Docket No. CP83–40–000, pursuant to

Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully

set forth in the application which is on

file with the Commission and open to

public inspection. This filing may be

viewed on the web at http://

www.ferc.fed.us/online/htm (call 202–

208–2222 for assistance).

Eastern Shore indicates that, in

addition to the tap and meter station, it

will construct a delivery lateral 2,425

feet of 8-inch pipeline to deliver the gas

to First State, which it will construct

under Section157.208(a) of the

Commission’s Regulations as an eligible

facility. Eastern Shore states that it will

use these facilities to deliver up to

800,000 dt per year on an interruptible

basis pursuant to the terms of Eastern

Shore’s IT rate schedule.

Eastern Shore estimates the cost of the

tap and meter station at $95,000, and

the cost of the pipeline lateral at

$195,000, all of which it will be

reimbursed by First State. It is asserted

that Eastern Shore’s tariff does not

prohibit the addition of delivery point

facilities.

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

NGA (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 NGA.
