Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-348-000]


Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Application

April 21, 1998.
    Take notice that on April 13, 1998, Colorado Interstate Gas Company 
(CIG) P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in Docket 
No. CP98-348-000 an application, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act, for a certificate of public convenience and necessity 
authorizing the construction and operation of pipeline facilities, all 
as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    CIG seeks to construct and operate approximately 6 miles of 3.5-
inch diameter fuel gas line from the Cimarron Meter Station on CIG's 
Fourway-Kit Carson mainline to CIG's Sturgis Compressor Station, all 
located in Cimarron County, Oklahoma. CIG states that the purpose of 
the proposed fuel gas line is to provide processed fuel gas from the 
mainline transmission system to the Sturgis Compressor Station. CIG 
further states that providing processed gas to the Sturgis Compressor 
will improve operating efficiency, reliability, and decrease in 
maintenance requirements.
    Any person desiring to participate in the hearing process or to 
make any protest with reference to said application should on or before 
May 12, 1998, file with the Federal Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest 
in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure 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 protesters 
provide copies of their protests to the party or person to whom the 
protests are directed. Any person wishing to become a party to a 
proceeding are directed. 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 Commission and will receive 
copies of all documents issued by the Commission, filed by the 
applicant or by all other 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 serve copies of comments or 
any other filing it makes with the Commission to every other intervenor 
in the proceeding, as well as filing and 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 such 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
on the Commission 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 CIG to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
