Columbia Gas Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Application

September 24, 1997.

Take notice that on September 10,

1997, Columbia Gas Transmission

Corporation (Columbia), a Delaware

corporation, having its principal place

of business at 1700 MacCorkle Avenue,

S.E., Charleston, West Virginia 25314–

1599, filed an abbreviated application

pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural

Gas Act seeking permission to abandon

its Justus, Gore, Utica, Coshocton, and

Swan Compressor Stations, including

all associated equipment, appurtenances

and buildings. All of these facilities are

located in Ohio.

Columbia states the facilities

proposed for abandonment were

constructed as gas supply facilities to

compress locally produced gas into

Columbia’s pipeline system for delivery

to various markets in Ohio. Due to a

decline in the production and

Columbia’s termination release program

of producer contracts, the stations

proposed for abandonment are no longer

needed and uneconomical to operate.

Columbia estimates the cost of retiring

associated with these stations to be

$210,100 with an estimated net debit to

accumulated provision for depreciation

of $1,619,250.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before October

15, 1997, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

DC 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 Regulations

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 proceedings.

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 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 is 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.

Secretary.

Changes in FERC Gas Tariff

Corporation (Columbia) tendered for

filing the following revised tariff sheet

to its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised

Volume No. 1, bearing an effective date

of November 1, 1997:

First Revised Sheet No. 500B

On July 31, 1997, Columbia filed with

the Federal Energy Regulatory

tariff sheet that referenced Columbia’s

name change from the West Ohio Gas

Company to the East Ohio Gas Company

on the tariff sheet identifying the service

agreement.

Columbia states that copies of this

filing have been mailed to all of its
