[Docket No. CP95-501-000]


K N Interstate Gas Transmission Co.; Application

May 19, 1995.
    Take notice that on May 16, 1995, K N Interstate Gas Transmission 
Co. (KNI), P.O. Box 281304, Lakewood, Colorado 80228, filed in Docket 
No. CP95-501-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural 
Gas Act for authorization to abandon by sale to Mountain Petroleum 
Corporation (MPC) its Phuma Compressor Station facilities located in 
Phillips County, Colorado, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    KNI proposes to abandon by sale to MPC one Ajax DPC42 compressor, 
one glycol dehydrator and miscellaneous station pipeline and valves. 
KNI states that its predecessor constructed the Phuma Compressor 
Station in 1977 to compress gas that it purchased from MPC and gathered 
through its adjacent gathering system for use as system supply. KNI 
states that, due to the small amount of gas (100 Mcf per day) received 
from MPC, the costs of operating the gathering system by K N Gas 
Gathering, Inc. (KNGG) and the compressor station facilities by KNI 
exceeded the revenues received to gather and compress the gas. KNI also 
states that, in order to relieve KNGG and KNI of the high cost of 
operating the facilities and still provide MPC with the opportunity to 
produce its gas, KNI, KNGG and MPC have entered into a facilities 
purchase and sale agreement whereby MPC would purchase the facilities. 
It is indicated that, because of its non-jurisdictional status, the 
gathering system has already been transferred to MPC by KNGG. It is 
also indicated that because MPC is the only producer with gas supplies 
connected to the Phuma facilities, no other party would be affected by 
the proposed abandonment.
    KNI states that MPC would purchase the compressor station, 
dehydrator and appurtenant facilities at a price of $12,500.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before June 9, 1995, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426, 
a motion to intervene or a protest 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 Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). 
All protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in 
determining the appropriate action to 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 
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 KNI to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
