DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP00-374-000]


Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas Transmission LLC; Notice of 
Application

June 9, 2000.
    Take notice that on June 2, 2000, Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas 
Transmission LLC (KMIGT), P.O. Box 281304, Lakewood, Colorado 80228, 
filed in Docket No. CP00-374-000 an application pursuant to section 
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for permission and approval to 
abandon by sale to K N Energy, a division of Kinder Morgan, Inc. (K N 
Retail), certain secondary lateral pipelines, measuring and tap 
facilities which are located in the States of Colorado, Nebraska and 
Wyoming, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may 
be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 
202-208-2222 for assistance).
    KMIGT states that the facilities proposed for abandonment are 
currently utilized by KMIGT to make deliveries of natural gas to K N 
Retail at its local distribution systems. KMIGT states further that 
these secondary laterals are basically an extension of K N Retail's 
existing distribution system and would better serve its retail 
customers if they were owned and operated by K N Retail.
    The abandonment, it is said, would have no material impact on 
KMIGT's cost of service nor would it result in or cause any 
interruption, disruption, or termination of the transportation service 
presently rendered by KMIGT.
    KMIGT requests that the Commission declare that the facilities, 
after the sale, would be distribution facilities exempt from the 
Commission's jurisdiction under Section 1(b) of the NGA.
    Any person desiring to be heard or any person desiring to make any 
protests with reference to said application should on or before June 
30, 2000, file with the Federal Energy 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 (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 permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 
required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave 
to intervene is time 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 KMIGT to appear or be represented at the 
hearing..

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
