DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP94-232-000]

 

ANR Pipeline Company and Colorado Interstate Gas Company; 
Application

February 23, 1994.
    Take notice that on February 16, 1994, ANR Pipeline Company (ANR), 
500 Renaissance Center, Detroit, Michigan 48243 and Colorado Interstate 
Gas Company (CIG), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 
80944, filed a joint application pursuant to section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act for an order granting permission and approval to 
abandon a transportation and exchange agreement, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    ANR and CIG state that they propose to abandon the Transportation 
and Exchange Agreement (Agreement) dated July 20, 1979, as amended, 
constituting ANR's Rate Schedule X-86, Original Volume No. 2 and CIG's 
Rate Schedule X-35, Original Volume No. 2. It is stated that the 
Agreement provides for transportation by CIG and redelivery to ANR of 
equivalent volumes of natural gas which ANR delivers to CIG's system, 
and the transportation by ANR and redelivery to CIG of equivalent 
volumes of natural gas which CIG delivers to ANR's system. ANR and CIG 
state that no facilities will be abandoned; the facilities used for the 
transportation and exchange may continue to be used by ANR and CIG for 
open access transportation.
    It is further stated that pursuant to Article XVII of the 
Agreement, the term of the Agreement was effective as of the date of 
the Agreement for a term ending 20 years from the date of commencement 
of deliveries of gas by either Party and thereafter as long as either 
Party is delivering gas to the other Party for transportation. However, 
ANR and CIG submit that since both have open access transportation 
certificates and the Commission has approved the restructuring of 
services on both pipelines, there is no longer a requirement for the 
Agreement. Consequently, ANR and CIG have agreed to terminate the 
Agreement.
    Upon the grant of authorization requested herein, CIG states that 
it will file pursuant to Section 154 of the Regulations to cancel Rate 
Schedule X-35 to its FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 2. Likewise, 
ANR states that it will file to cancel Rate Schedule X-86 to its FERC 
Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 2.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 16, 1994, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, the 
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 
CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be 
considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but 
will not serve to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any 
person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a 
party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in 
accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy and 
Regulatory Commission by sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 
required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave 
to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion 
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such 
hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for ANR and CIG to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
