[Docket No. CP17-477-000]

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization

    Take notice that on July 31, 2017, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC
(Columbia), 700 Louisiana Street, Suite 700, Houston, Texas 77002-2700,
filed in Docket No. CP17-477-000 a prior notice request pursuant to
sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, requesting authorization to abandon
two injection/withdrawal (I/W) wells, along with the associated
pipelines and appurtenances at its Lucas Storage Field, located in
Ashland and Richland Counties, Ohio. Columbia states that the Lucas
10697 and 10722 I/W wells have historically performed poorly in
relation to other wells in the Lucas Storage Field and, based the age
of the wells, the wells would require an extensive case replacement
job. Columbia asserts that the proposed abandonment of the Lucas 10697
well includes the abandonment of 977 feet of 3.5-inch-diameter pipeline
and appurtenances and the proposed abandonment of the Lucas 10722 well
includes the abandonment of 4.5-inch-diameter pipeline and
appurtenances. Columbia avers that there will be no change to the
existing boundary, total inventory, reservoir pressure, reservoir and
buffer boundaries, or the certificated capacity of the Lucas Storage
Field as a result of the proposed abandonment, all as more fully set
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open
to public inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the web at
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to

Houston, Texas, 77002-2700, by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, by fax at
(832) 320-6685, or by email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 days after
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    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.
    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.

documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentary, 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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-72432; File No. SR-DTC-2014-08]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Depository Trust Company;
Notice of Filing of Proposed Rule Change To Transfer the NIIDS Service
to a Non-Clearing Agency Affiliate

June 19, 2014.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on June 5, 2014, The Depository Trust Company (``DTC'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II and III below, which Items have been
prepared primarily by DTC. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    The proposed rule change consists of amendments to DTC's
Operational Arrangements (``Operational Arrangements'') pursuant to
which DTC will transfer its New Issue Information Dissemination System
(``NIIDS'') service to a non-clearing agency affiliate of DTC.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ As more fully described in this proposed rule change, NIIDS
is an information service only and does not relate to the
performance of a clearing or settlement function.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, DTC included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change, and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. DTC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    In 2008, the Commission approved the establishment of the NIIDS
service at DTC.\4\ The NIIDS service was designed to improve the
process by which information pertaining to the reporting, comparison,
confirmation and settlement of trades (``NIIDS Data Elements'') with
respect to new issues in municipal securities (``New Municipal
Issues'') might be provided by underwriters thereof to information
vendors or other users of such information (``Subscribers'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57768 (May 2, 2008), 73
FR 26181 (May 8, 2008) (SR-DTC-2007-10).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The NIIDS service originates with making a New Municipal Issue DTC
eligible. The lead underwriter or other authorized representative of
such New Municipal Issue (``Dissemination Agent'') electronically
inputs NIIDS Data Elements into DTC's underwriting system, and to the
extent it chooses to, the Dissemination Agent may authorize DTC to
disseminate \5\ the NIIDS Data Elements as set forth in DTC's
Operational Arrangements. At present, when the Dissemination Agent
gives such authorization, DTC disseminates the applicable NIIDS Data
Elements directly to Subscribers.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ DTC's underwriting system with respect to New Municipal
Issues offers an authorization indicator where the Dissemination
Agent provides its request to and consent for DTC to disseminate the
information.
    \6\ A Dissemination Agent's authorization to disseminate also
includes authorization to disseminate the name and contact
information of such Dissemination Agent and the time at which the
NIIDS Data Elements were input.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the proposed rule change, Dissemination Agents will continue
to electronically input NIIDS Data Elements into DTC's underwriting
system for purposes of processing the underwriting and closing of New
Municipal Issues through DTC; however, the dissemination activities
with respect to such information will be transferred by DTC to a non-
clearing agency affiliate thereof (``NIIDS Disseminator''). Following
the proposed rule change, once DTC has received authorization from the
Dissemination Agent to disseminate, DTC will make such information
available to the NIIDS Disseminator only. The NIIDS Disseminator may
then deal directly with parties wishing to obtain the information,
including but not limited to current Subscribers.
    Although the NIIDS service originates with data provided to DTC for
purposes of processing the underwriting and closing of a New Municipal
Issue through DTC, the NIIDS service is strictly a dissemination
service (i.e., the dissemination of NIIDS Data Elements (and related
information) to Subscribers). Dissemination of such information to
Subscribers is not a clearing agency function, and accordingly, the
dissemination of the information to appropriate contractual
counterparties subscribing for that information might be done by an
entity that is not a registered clearing agency.
    As DTC will continue to be only a conduit of the information and
does not and will not confirm the validity of any of the NIIDS Data
Elements, the inputting of NIIDS Data Elements, and the subsequent use
thereof, by any party will constitute a waiver of any and all claims
(whether direct or indirect) against DTC and its affiliates and an
agreement that DTC and its affiliates shall not be liable for any loss
or damages in relation to the collection and any subsequent
dissemination of NIIDS Data Elements and related information. In
addition, any party that inputs NIIDS Data Elements or thereafter uses
such NIIDS Data Elements and related information agrees to indemnify
and hold DTC and its affiliates harmless from and against any and all
losses, damages, liabilities, costs, judgments, charges, and expenses
incurred by such party arising out of or relating to the collection and
subsequent dissemination of the NIIDS Data Elements.
    The date on which DTC will transfer the NIIDS service will be set
forth in a subsequent Important Notice to DTC Participants.
2. Statutory Basis
    DTC believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Act, specifically Section 17A(b)(3)(F),\7\ and the
rules and regulations thereunder applicable to DTC, because the NIIDS
Service is not a clearing agency function. The transfer of this service
will provide for a more efficient allocation of DTC's resources, which
will promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of
securities transactions in accordance with the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(F).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    DTC does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact, or impose any burden on competition.

C. Clearing Agency's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Change
Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not yet
been solicited or received. DTC will notify the Commission of any
written comments received by DTC.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be
appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding or (ii) as to
which the self-regulatory organization consents, the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve or disapprove such proposed rule change, or
    (B) Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:
