[Docket No. RP01-350-000]


Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

April 4, 2001.
    Take notice that on March 30, 2001, Colorado Interstate Gas Company 
(CIG) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised 
Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed in Appendix A to the notice 
attached to the filing, to become effective May 1, 2001.
    The proposed rate changes would increase revenues from 
jurisdictional service by approximately $9.4 million based on the 12-
month period ending December 31, 2000, as adjusted. CIG states that 
$9.4 million rate increase would be necessary to: (1) Compensate CIG 
for the inflation in operating costs that has occurred since its last 
general rate case in 1996, including the expansion filings in Docket 
No. CP00-452-000 (Raton Basin Expansion), Docket No. CP01-1-000 (Valley 
Line I

Expansion), safest-related system integrity, as well as substantial 
electronic and computer enhancements; (2) modify rates to reflect CIG's 
current business and discounting profile and; (3) would allow CIG to 
earn a rate of return on CIG's assets, at a level that will be 
competitive in capital markets.
    CIG states that the tariff sheets listed in Appendix A include two 
new transportation services, and change significantly the nature and 
the cost of its two no-notice delivery services, as well as multiple 
conforming tariff modifications.
    CIG states that a full copy or abbreviated copy of its filing are 
being serviced on all jurisdictional customers, applicable state 
commissions, and interested parties that have requested service.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations.

file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the
