Wyoming Intestate Company, Ltd.; Notice of Application

September 27, 1996.
    On September 24, 1996, Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd. 
(Applicant), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944 filed an 
application under Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act to abandon a 
transportation service for Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern) and 
for authorization under Section 7(c) to provide transportation service 
for Barret Resources Corporation, Questar Energy Trading Company and 
Western Gas Resources, Inc., all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Applicant and Northern entered into a Service Agreement dated 
August 15, 1983 which provided for the transportation of 89,000 Mcf/d 
through Applicant's system for delivery to Trailblazer Pipeline Company 
at the easternmost point on Applicant's system. The Northern has 
entered into prearranged long term capacity releases with three 
shippers for the capacity which it holds on Applicant's system. The 
term of the releases is from November 1, 1996 until January 1, 2004, 
the day the Northern agreement with Applicant ends. The Shippers are: 
(i) Barrett Resources Corporation--20,000 Mcf/d, (ii) Questar Energy 
Trading Company--40,000 Mcf/d and (iii) Western Gas Resources, Inc.--
29,000 Mcf/d.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to this application should on or before October 18, 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 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 proceedings. 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 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 a grant of the certificate is 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
