Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-49-001]


K N Wattenberg Transmission Limited Liability Company; Notice of 
Application

January 30, 1998.
    Take notice that on January 23, 1998, K N Wattenberg Transmission 
Limited Liability Company (K N Wattenberg), P.O. Box 281304, Lakewood, 
Colorado 80228-8304, filed in Docket No. CP98-49-001, pursuant to 
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157, Subpart E, of the 
Commission's Regulations, an amendment to its pending application in 
Docket No. CP98-49-000, in which K N Wattenberg requests authorization 
to acquire, construct and operate certain pipeline and related 
facilities designated as the Front Runner Pipeline, all as more fully 
set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    In its amended filing, K N Wattenberg is requesting that the 
application be considered under the Commission's optional certificate 
(OC) regulations. In accordance with the OC regulations, K N Wattenberg 
has redesignated its rates to bear the full risk of subscription for 
the project and will abide by all other conditions required for an OC 
certificate. The amendment proposes no other changes to K N 
Wattenberg's pending application in this proceeding.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should, on or before February 20, 1998, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
N.E., 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 385.211 and 385.214) 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. The Commission's rules require that protestors 
provide copies of their protests to the party or parties directly 
involved. 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.
    A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service 
list maintained by the Secretary of the

[[Page 5936]]

Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the 
applicant and by every one of the intervenors. An intervenor can file 
for rehearing of any Commission order and can petition for court review 
of any such order. However, an intervenor must submit copies of 
comments or any other filings it makes with the Commission to every 
other intervenor in the proceeding, as well as an original and 14 
copies with the Commission.
    A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents and will be able to participate in meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission and will 
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a federal court.
    The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally, 
whether filed by the commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
    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 K N Wattenberg to appear or be represented 
at the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
