Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP99-102-000]


Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd.; Notice of Application

December 16, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 3, 1998, Wyoming Interstate Company, 
Ltd. (WIC), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, 
filed in Docket No. CP99-102-000, an application pursuant to Section 
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's 
Regulations, for a certificate of public convenience and necessity 
authorizing WIC to construct and operate the proposed Medicine Bow 
Lateral, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, WIC states that the Medicine Bow Lateral will consist 
of 143 miles of 24-inch diameter pipeline extending from two proposed 
interconnects with non-jurisdictional facilities in Converse County, 
Wyoming to an interconnect with WIC's existing mainline approximately 
seven and one half miles west of the existing Cheyenne Compressor 
Station in Weld County, Colorado. In addition, WIC proposes to 
construct the 7,200 horsepower Medicine Bow Compressor Station in the 
vicinity of the two receipt points.
    WIC states that the Medicine Bow Lateral will allow for the firm 
transportation of up to 260,000 dth per day of new gas supplies from 
the Powder River Basin to WIC's mainline. WIC estimates that the 
proposed facilities will cost $80,429,200.
    Any person desiring to be heard or making any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before January 6, 1999 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 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the 
NGA (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 person to whom the protests 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 filed 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 intervrnor 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 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 such 
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 commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Commission by 
Sections 7 and 15 of the NGA 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
