[Docket No. CP97-136-000]


Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

December 9, 1996.
    Take notice that on December 2, 1996, Colorado Interstate Gas 
Company (CIG), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, 
filed in Docket No. CP96-136-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205, 157.211 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211 and 157.216) for authorization 
to abandon 2 meters, change the direction of flow of a lateral line, 
and to install a new meter, all in Adams County, Colorado, under CIG's 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-21-000 pursuant to 
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
request that is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    CIG proposes to replace the existing Doherty Meter Station by 
abandoning 2 4-inch diameter meters and installing a new facility with 
a 2-inch diameter meter and to reverse the flow of the 4-inch diameter 
Third Street Lateral loop line. It is stated that these changes are 
required because Vessels Hydrocarbons, Inc. (Vessels) is consolidating 
its processing activities by closing its Third Street processing Plant 
and constructing a new line to move gas from its Third Street plant to 
its Wattenberg Plant. CIG proposes to deliver up to 250 dt equivalent 
of natural gas per day to Vessels at the new meter. It is asserted that 
CIG will transport the gas for Vessels under its Rate Schedule TF-1. It 
is further asserted that CIG has notified producers who use the Third 
Street Plant for processing and has received no objections to the 
proposal. It is estimated that installation of the new meter will cost 
$15,000, for which CIG will be reimbursed by Vessels.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed 
and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
