Take notice that on July 23, 1998, as supplemented on July 31, 1998, Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (Columbia), 12801 Fair Lakes Parkway, Fairfax, Virginia 22030-0146, filed in Docket No. CP98- 688-000, a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for authorization to construct and operate a new point of delivery for Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania, Inc. (CPA) in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, under its blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-76-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Columbia says that it will construct and operate this new point of delivery for firm transportation service under existing rate schedules and within certificated entitlements. CPA estimates that the volumes for the new point of delivery will be 225 Dth/day. CPA has requested that its existing SST Rate Schedule Agreement with Columbia be amended by reducing the MDDQs at the existing Admire point of delivery by 225 Dth/day and reassigning the same volume of gas to the proposed new TARCO point of delivery. Columbia asserts that the quantities of natural gas to be provided through the new point of delivery will be within Columbia's authorized level of service. Columbia estimates the cost to construct this new point of delivery will be $16,400. CPA will reimburse Columbia 100% of the total actual cost of the proposed construction. Columbia states that it will comply with all of the environmental requirements of Section 157.206(d) of the Commission's Regulations prior to the construction of any facilities. Any person on the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 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 request 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of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.
