[Docket No. CP98-718-000]

 
Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

August 18, 1998.
    Take notice that on August 10, 1998, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 
22030, filed in Docket No. CP98-718-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to construct and 
operate a new point of delivery to Washington Gas Light Company (WGL) 
in Montgomery County, Maryland, under Columbia's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural 
Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Columbia states that the construction of the new delivery point has 
been requested by WGL to serve both residential and commercial 
customers. The estimated quantities of natural gas to be delivered at 
the new point of delivery is 3,500 Dth/day and 1,277,500 Dth/annually. 
Interconnection facilities will consist of installing a 4-inch tap, 3-
inch meter, electronic measurement and approximately 410 feet of 4-inch 
inlet line to WGL. WGL has not requested an increase in its total firm 
entitlements in conjunction with this request. The estimated cost to 
construct this new point of delivery is $176,074 which includes ``gross 
up'' for income tax purposes. WGL will reimburse Columbia 100% of the 
total actual cost of the proposed construction.
    Columbia states that the new point of delivery will have no effect 
on peak day and annual deliveries, that its existing tariff does not 
prohibit addition of new delivery points and that deliveries will be 
accomplished without detriment of disadvantage to its other customers 
and that the total volumes delivered will not

[[Page 45054]]

exceed total volumes authorized prior to this request.
    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 Natural Gas Act (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 Natural Gas Act.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
