Columbia Gas Transmission

Corporation; Notice of Application

June 25, 1998.

Take notice that on June 17, 1998,

Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation

(Columbia), a Delaware corporation,

having its principal place of business at

12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax,

Virginia, 22030–1046, filed an

abbreviated application pursuant to

Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, as

amended, for permission and approval

to abandon certain natural gas services,

as more fully described in the

application.

Columbia proposes to abandon from

service Munderf Storage Field and

transmission pipelines 4393 and 4394,

all located in Jefferson County,

Pennsylvania. Due to the deteriorating

condition of the casing in the only well

(Munderf Storage Well 552) in Munderf

Storage field and at the recommendation

of the State of Pennsylvania Department

of Environmental Resources, Columbia

plugged Well 552 on July 13, 1994.

Columbia has determined that because

of changes in market requirements,

sources of supply and transmission

facilities in the Munderf area, that

current and future market requirements

can be met without the Munderf Storage

Field. Columbia has also determined

that with the abandonment of Munderf

Storage Field, transmission lines 4393

and 4394, consisting of 677 feet of 4-

inch diameter pipeline, will no longer

be needed. The estimated net debit to

accumulated provision for depreciation

for both the storage field and lines is

$138,475.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before July 16,

1998, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First

Street, N.E., 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 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.

Acting Secretary.
