Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Limited Scoping 
for the Ohio Storage Expansion Project

May 9, 2008.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will 
discuss the potential environmental impacts of the Ohio Storage 
Expansion Project, involving construction and operation of natural gas 
facilities by Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (Columbia) in 
Ashland, Fairfield, Hocking, and Holmes Counties, Ohio. The EA will be 
used by the Commission in its decision-making process to determine 
whether the project is in the public convenience and necessity.
    On May 1, 2008, Columbia filed a revision to its project that would 
remove two wells from consideration, thus not affecting two landowners. 
Further, Columbia would add four additional

wells (Well 12491, Well 12492, Well 12578, and Well 12496) affecting 
two additional landowners. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' 
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits (i.e., 
PF08-6) in the docket number field to access the document. For 
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call toll free at (866) 208-3676, or for 
TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
    Because the two additional landowners were recently added to our 
environmental mailing list (after the April 7, 2008 close of scoping), 
they have not had an opportunity to comment on Columbia's planned 
project. Therefore, we are opening a limited scoping period directed at 
these landowners to comment on the project and attaching the original 
Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment and Request for 
Comments on Environmental Issues to this letter. Please note that this 
limited scoping period will close on June 1, 2008.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
