[Docket No. CP96-41-003]


Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Petition To Amend

March 21, 1996.
    Take notice that on March 20, 1996, Colorado Interstate Gas Company 
(CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in Docket 
No. CP96-41-003 a petition to further amend its application filed in 
Docket No. CP96-41-000 to delete compressors at three compressor 
stations as well as an 858-foot segment of 18-inch pipeline and 
measurement facilities, all currently classified as transmission, from 
those facilities CIG wishes to transfer to its affiliate, CIG Field 
Services Company (Field Services), all as more fully set forth in the 
petition which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.

[[Page 13486]]

    CIG states that, at a technical conference convened on March 5, 
1996, in Docket No. CP96-41-000, as amended, parties questioned the 
consistency of the proposed reclassification of compression facilities 
and also raised the issue of whether Field Services could fully recover 
the cost of providing gathering services using compressors proposed to 
be reclassified from transmission to gathering. To alleviate these 
concerns, CIG indicates that it now seeks to amend its pending 
application to retain as facilities owned and operated by CIG subject 
to the Commission's jurisdiction under the Natural Gas Act, the 
compressors at its Lakin, Morton, and Mocane Compressor Stations 
currently classified as transmission. It is indicated that these 
compression facilities consist of 31,700 horsepower. CIG also proposed 
to retain a 858-foot segment of pipeline with measurement facilities 
extending from the outlet of the Mocane Compressor Station to the 
Warren Processing Plant. CIG also proposes to include dehydrators at 
Mocane and Morton among its transmission assets. No other changes to 
the original application, as amended on February 23, 1996, are 
proposed.
    CIG indicates that, as a result of the instant petition and a 
previous petition filed February 23, 1996, the net book value of 
facilities to be transferred to CIG Field Services Company will be 
reduced from $36,111,594 to $32,982,883.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said petition to amend should on or before April 1, 1996, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 
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 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
