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).

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.
