Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

February 11, 2009.
    Take notice that on February 9, 2009, Columbia Gas Transmission, 
LLC (Columbia), having its principal office at 5151 San Felipe, Suite 
2500, Houston, Texas 77056, filed a prior notice request pursuant to 
sections 157.205 and 157.208 of the Commission's regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to increase the maximum 
allowable operating pressure (MAOP), under Columbia's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-076-000, all as more fully set 
forth in the application, which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the Web at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to 
access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, Columbia requests authorization to increase the MAOP 
of its Line L-2102 from its current 210 psig to a new MAOP of 350 psig 
and to operate the pipeline at that higher pressure. Line L-2102 
consists of approximately 4 miles of 10-inch pipeline beginning at the 
interconnection of Line-2102 and Line L-2100 and terminating at the 
interconnection with Line M-48 in Knox County, Ohio. The uprate is 
requested to allow Columbia Gas of Ohio, Inc. to meet pressure 
requirements to one of its customers at the Rolls Royce Plant in Mt. 
Vernon, Ohio. The proposed uprate creates a capacity increase of 
approximately 11 thousand dekatherms per day (MDth/d). The increase in 
MAOP will also improve the operating efficiency of the pipeline.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to James 
R. Downs, Director of Regulatory Affairs, Columbia Gas Transmission, 
LLC, 5151 San Felipe Suite 2500 Houston, TX 77056, phone: (713) 267-

    Any person may, within 60 days after the 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. Any person filing to intervene or the Commission's staff 
may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for 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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
