Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

July 20, 2007.
    Take notice that on July 13, 2007, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue SE., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314, filed in Docket No. CP07-419-000, an application 
pursuant to sections 7(c) and 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 
Part 157 of the Commission's regulations, for authorization of the 
realignment of the protective boundary surrounding Greenwood and North 
Greenwood Storage Fields, located in Steuben County, New York, all as 
more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection. This filing is accessible on-
line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the ``eLibrary'' link and is 

available for review in the Commission's Public Reference Room in 
Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription'' link on the Web site that 
enables subscribers to receive e-mail notification when a document is 
added to a subscribed docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online 
service, please e-mail FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or call (866) 208-
3676 (toll free). For TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, Columbia proposes to reduce the current protective 
boundary from 3,000 feet in width at all points to a 1,000 foot width 
area for the protection of the Greenwood and North Greenwood Storage 
Fields' reservoir integrity.
    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, at (304) 357-2359 
or fax (304) 357-3206.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission staff will either: 
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule 
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other 
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of 
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this 
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for 
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of 
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the 
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    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 in the proceeding with the Commission 
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. 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 commenters 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 commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the 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.
    Protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the 
Internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 
instructions on the Commission's web site under the ``e-Filing'' link. 
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
    Comment Date: August 10, 2007.

Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
