K N Interstate Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application

May 23, 1996.
    Take notice that on May 20, 1996, K N Interstate Gas Transmission 
Company (KNI), 370 Van Gordon Street, Lakewood, Colorado 80228-8304, 
filed an application with the Commission in Docket No. CP96-529-000 
pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for permission 
and approval to abandon its Haven Line in Reno County, Kansas, which 
was authorized in Docket No. CP70-239,\1\ all as more fully set forth 
in the application which is open to the public for inspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 44 FPC 149 (1970).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    KNI proposes to abandon by sale approximately 9.2 miles of 16-inch 
diameter pipe (the Haven Line) in Reno County to Mid Continent Market 
Center, Inc. (Mid Continent), which would operate the Haven Line as 
part of its intrastate pipeline system. KNI states that it would sell 
the Haven Line to Mid Continent for a negotiated price of $205,000. KNI 
also states that the only customers currently being served from the 
Haven Line are nine end-users who are direct retail customers of K N 
Energy, Inc. KNI's parent company. KNI further states that Western 
Resources, Inc., Mid Continent's parent, would take over as the direct 
retail supplier to these nine end-users; thus, no customer would lose 
gas service as a result of KNI's proposed abandonment of the Haven Line 
to Mid Continent.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before June 13, 1996, 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 NGA (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 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the NGA 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.
