[Docket No. CP00-375-000]


K N Energy, a Division of Kinder Morgan, Inc.; Notice of 
Application

June 9, 2000.
    Take notice that on June 2, 2000, K N Energy, a division of Kinder 
Morgan, Inc. (K N Retail), 370 Van Gordon Street, Lakewood, Colorado 
80228, filed in Docket No. CP00-375-000 an application pursuant to 
Section 7(f) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for a service area 
determination, a finding that K N Retail qualifies as a local 
distribution company for purposes of section 311 of the Natural Gas 
Policy Act (NGPA), and for a waiver of the Commission's regulatory 
requirements, including reporting and accounting requirements 
applicable to natural gas companies under the NGA and NGPA, 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).
    K N Retail proposes to acquire from Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas 
Transmission LLC (KMIGT), the Ovid-Julesberg lateral that crosses from 
Nebraska into Colorado, and two additional laterals that are located in 
Deuel County Nebraska and Sedgwick County Colorado, namely the Chappell 
and Big Springs laterals. The service area, it is said, would be the 
entirety of the Counties of Deuel in Nebraska and Sedgwick in Colorado.
    K N Retail states that no other company provides distribution 
services in the proposed service area.
    Any person desiring to participate in the hearing process or to 
make any protest 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 and 3285.211) 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. 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 in any 
proceeding herein 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 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 granting the 
certificates 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 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 Retail to appear or to be represented at 
the hearing.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.
Acting Secretary.
