[Docket No. CP96-288-001]
Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd.; Notice of Application
February 5, 1997.
Take notice that on January 30, 1997, Wyoming Interstate Company,
Ltd. (WIC), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in
Docket No. CP96-288-001 a petition to amend its original certificate
application which was the subject of the Preliminary Determination on
Non-Environmental Issues issued September 11, 1996, pursuant to Section
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, all as more fully set forth in
the application on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
On March 29, 1996, Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd. (WIC) filed an
application in Docket No. CP96-288-000, to construct and operate
facilities to increase WIC's system capacity, which included a new
compressor station planned to consist of two 1,000 hp compressor
reciprocating units (Rawlins Jumper Station). On September 11, 1996,
the Commission issued a Preliminary Determination on Non-Environmental
Issues and Declaratory Order in this docket.
WIC states that in its original application final selection of
compression had not been selected. WIC states that it made a final
determination on the selection of the Rawlins units in May 1996,
selecting two 1,200 hp units instead of approximately 2,000 hp for this
station as in the original application. It is asserted that all other
compressors selected were the same as filed in the original
application. WIC avers that the selected units are superior based on:
(1) lowest bid received, (2) economy of spare parts by matching the
units for the Baxter station (3) units that provide nitrogen emission
rates as low as any of the units offered, and (4) having the best
specific fuel rate of the units offered.
WIC further avers that the subject units would have no material
effect on the cost estimate or on the Revenue, Expenses and Income as
filed in the original application in Docket No. CP96-288-000.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before February 12, 1997,
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 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 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 unnecessary for WIC to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
