Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on August 15, 2006, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, SE., Charleston, West 
Virginia, filed in Docket No. CP06-430-000 an application pursuant to 
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, for authorization 
to permit Columbia to increase the maximum volume of gas in storage in 
certain storage fields in Bedford and Washington Counties, 
Pennsylvania; Kanawha, Randolph, Pocahontas, Putnam, and Preston 
Counties, West Virginia; and Hocking and Lorain Counties, Ohio, on a 
temporary basis from August 2006 to April 2007, to a level above the 
amount currently certificated by the Commission, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection. This filing may also be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' 

link. Enter the docket number, excluding the last three digits, in the 
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, call (202) 
502-8659 or TTY, (202) 208-3676.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Fredric J. George, Lead Counsel, Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation, 
P.O. Box 1273, Charleston West Virginia 25325-1273; telephone (304) 
357-2359, fax (304) 357-3206.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person 
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by 
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all 
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must 
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a 
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only 
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders 
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the

[[Page 50055]]

Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by 
the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the 
Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments 
protests and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

    Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time on August 24, 2006.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
