[Docket No. CP05-406-000]

 
Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Pending Release 
of Document

January 11, 2006.
    Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (Columbia) filed an 
application in this docket to abandon by sale certain natural gas 
facilities located in West Virginia and Kentucky. On September 27, 
2005, Geoex, Inc. (Geoex), an independent producer/shipper, filed a 
timely motion to intervene in the Columbia proceeding stating that it 
would be adversely affected by the abandonment. On the same date, Geoex 
filed a three-page document in this docket that was stamped ``Keep 
Confidential.'' The document was entered into the Commission's eLibrary 
database as a non-public document with the accession number 20050929-
0120.
    The Commission's regulations require that a person seeking 
privileged treatment of information must file a written statement to 
justify such special treatment (18 CFR 388.112 (b)(1)). Geoex did not 
provide a written statement to support a claim of privilege. Further, 
the information contained in the document does not appear to qualify it 
as a Commission record exempt from public disclosure under 18 CFR 
388.107. Accordingly, take notice that the Commission is considering 
releasing the Geoex document and that we are hereby giving Geoex the 
opportunity to comment on the release of such document within ten days 
from the issuance of this notice. See 18 CFR 388.112(d). Geoex may 
explain why the document should be deemed privileged or may request 
that the document be withdrawn from the record in this contested 
proceeding.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
