[Docket No. CP95-498-000, et al.]


Colorado Interstate Gas Company, et al.; Natural Gas Certificate 
Filings

May 24, 1995.
    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Colorado Interstate Gas Company

[Docket No. CP95-498-000]

    Take notice that on May 15, 1995, Colorado Interstate Gas Company 
(CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in Docket 
No. CP95-498-000 an abbreviated application pursuant to Section 7(c) of 
the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations for a 
certificate of public convenience and necessity to change the 
deliverability of the Flank and Latigo Storage Fields all as more fully 
set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    Pursuant to Commission orders issued in Docket No. CP92-154-000, et 
al., CIG constructed certain facilities at its Flank and Latigo Storage 
Fields designed to enhance the deliverability from these two storage 
fields. CIG estimated that the additional facilities would increase the 
maximum deliverability of each field to 150 Mmcf per day. After 
construction and operation of the facilities authorized in Docket No. 
CP92-154, et al., CIG claims that the deliverability of Flank and 
Latigo Storage Fields is actually 165 Mmcf per day and 140 Mmcf per 
day, respectively. Therefore, CIG requests a change in the certificated 
deliverability for these two storage fields. No new facilities are 
required to effect the proposed deliverability changes.
    Comment date: June 14, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
F at the end of this notice.

2. Northern Natural Gas Company

[Docket No. CP95-499-000]

    Take notice that on May 15, 1995, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000 filed 
in Docket No. CP95-944-000 a request pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) for 
authorization to install and operate five (5) new small volume customer 
delivery points to accommodate natural gas deliveries to UtiliCorp 
United, Inc. (UCU), under Northern's blanket certificate issued in 
Docket No. CP82-401-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, 
all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Northern states that it requests authority to install and operate 
these small volume delivery points to accommodate natural gas 
deliveries for UCU under Northern's existing transportation rate 
schedules. It is said that the estimated total volumes proposed to be 
delivered to UCU at the proposed new delivery points are expected to 
result in an increase in Northern's peak day deliveries of 
approximately 49 MMBtu per day and 5,123 MMBtu on an annual basis.
    Northern states further that the estimated cost to install the 
delivery points is $10,975. UCU, it is said, would reimburse Northern 
for the cost to install the facilities.

(``Southern'') filed in the above-captioned docket an application 
pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act 
(``NGA''), as amended, and pursuant to the Federal Energy Regulatory

existing turbine compressor engine at Southern's DeArmanville 
Compressor Station in Calhoun County, Alabama, from 1,080 rated 
horsepower to 1,200 ISO-rated horsepower. In addition, Southern will 
uprate the pressure at one meter station serving one of the customers 
in this expansion project and uprate the pressure of its Gadsden Branch 
Line to accommodate the increased firm contract quantities of four

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 a grant of the certificate and/or 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 applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to

the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the

and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
