Virginia 25314-1599, filed in Docket No. CP95-632-000 an application 
pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and 
approval to abandon a transportation service for The Peoples Natural 
Gas Company (Peoples) which was authorized in Docket No. CP77-354,\1\ 
all as more fully set forth in the application on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Columbia proposes to abandon a transportation service for Peoples 
which was being rendered under an agreement dated March 29, 1977, on 
file as Columbia's Rate Schedule X-59. The transportation agreement for 
Rate Schedule X-59 provides that Columbia receives into its Line 7917 
in Fayette County, Pennsylvania up to 170 Mcf per day of natural gas 
from Peoples and transports this gas, less retainage, for the account 
of Peoples to Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Inc. at a delivery point 
also in Fayette County. Columbia states that volumes were last 
transported under Rate Schedule X-59 in May 1995 and that Peoples has 
agreed to the cancellation and termination of the transportation 
agreement for Rate Schedule X-59. Columbia further states that the 
proposed abandonment will not result in or cause any interruption, 
reduction, or termination of firm natural gas service presently 
rendered to any of its customers.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before August 16, 1995, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol 
Street, NE., 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 proceeding. 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 
the 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 permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 
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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
