[Docket No. CP98-705-000]


Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

August 7, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 31, 1998, Colorado Interstate Gas Company 
(CIG), P. O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 74101, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-705-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.216) for authorization to abandon the Antelope Ridge 
Meter Station by sale of BTA Oil Producers (BTA), located in Lea 
County, New Mexico, under CIG's blanket certificate issued in Docket 
No. CP83-21-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) 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 abandon the Antelope Ridge Meter Station, located 
in Section 24, Township 23 South, Range 34 East, Lea County, New 
Mexico. CIG declares that the meter station was authorized pursuant to 
an order that was issued March 26, 1976 in Docket No. CP75-189. CIG 
states that the gathering facilities upstream of the Antelope Ridge 
Meter Station were originally owned and operated by CIG and the meter 
measured gas into Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America's 
transmission system. CIG asserts that they abandoned the upstream 
gathering facilities in its spindown filing by transfer to CIG Field 
Services. CIG declares that a final Order Denying Rehearing and 
Dismissing Protect authorizing abandonment was issued on September 25, 
1996, in Docket No. CP96-41. CP96-41. CIG states that CIG Field 
Services has now entered into an agreement to sell the upstream 
gathering facilities to BTA and as the Antelope Ridge Meter Station is 
on CIG's books as a transmission system facility, CIG is proposing to 
abandon this facility by sale to BTA.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
