[Docket No. CP01-45-002]


Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Amendment to 
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity

April 23, 2002.
    Take notice that on April 18, 2002, Colorado Interstate Gas Company 
(CIG), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in 
Docket No. CP01-45-002 an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations to 
amend the certificate of public convenience and necessity issued to CIG 
on January 30, 2002 in Docket Nos. CP01-45-000 and CP01-45-001, all as 
more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may also be 
viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link, 
select ``Docket #'' and follow the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for 
assistance).
    The January 30, 2002 certificate of public convenience and 
necessity (January 30 Order) authorized CIG to construct, install, own, 
operate and maintain pipeline and compression facilities on its 
interstate pipeline system in Colorado to provide up to 282,000 Dth per 
day of firm transportation capacity for electric generators and local 
distribution companies along the eastern slope of the Rocky Mountain 
Front Range. Among the authorized facilities to be installed were two 
new 2,225 horsepower (ISO rated) natural gas fired reciprocating 
engines along with appurtenant facilities at CIG's existing Fort Lupton 
Compressor Station in Weld County, Colorado.
    Based upon operational data from similar existing units at the Fort 
Lupton Compressor Station and consultations with CIG's equipment 
manufacturer, CIG now proposes to install a single 4,445 horsepower 
(ISO rated) natural gas fired reciprocating engine at the Fort Lupton 
Compressor Station in lieu of the two units authorized in the January 
30 Order. CIG asserts that the single unit will be able to provide the 
proposed services and will have lower air quality impacts and will 
lower CIG's estimated capital costs by about $969,500.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Robert 
T. Tomlinson, Director, Regulatory Affairs Department, Colorado 
Interstate Gas Company, P.O. Box 1087, Colorado

    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before May 3, 2002, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 
888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene 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). A person obtaining party status will be placed on 
the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will 
receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other 
parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the 
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other 
party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for 
court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Comments, protests, and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and 
the instructions on the Commission's web site under the ``e-Filing'' 
link.
    If the Commission decides to set the application for a formal 
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the Commission will issue 
another notice describing that process. At the end of the Commission's 
review process, a final Commission order approving or denying a 
certificate will be issued.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
