[Docket No. CP01-1-001]


Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Amendment

May 3, 2002.
    Take notice that on April 29, 2002, Colorado Interstate Gas Company 
(CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in Docket 
No. CP01-1-001, a request to modify its variance request filed on April 
19, 2002 to a Petition to Amend Order issued on May 16, 2001, all as 
more fully set forth

[[Page 31794]]

in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for 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).
    CIG states that on October 2, 2000, it filed an application in 
Docket No. CP01-1-000 for authorization, pursuant to Section 7(b) of 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA), to abandon its Keyes Sand Reservoir at its 
Boehm Storage Field in southwest Kansas and for a certificate of public 
convenience and necessity, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the NGA, to 
construct and operate: (a) facilities to increase the deliverability of 
its Fort Morgan Storage Field in northeastern Colorado; and (b) 
pipeline looping and compression facilities to increase the capacity of 
its system south of its Cheyenne Compressor Station in Weld County, 
Colorado. On May 16, 2001, the Commission issued its Order Issuing 
Certificate and Approving Abandonment. As to the abandonment activity 
and temporary facilities set forth in ordering paragraph (A) of the May 
16, 2001 Order, CIG states that it has not yet undertaken these 
activities.
    With this amendment, CIG states that it has determined that the 
depletion of the Keyes Sand Reservoir can be more efficiently 
accomplished by modifying the original required facilities. CIG states 
that it now proposes to amend its certificate by: (1) Installing 
approximately 3,981 feet of 4'' O.D. and 6'' O.D. pipeline (Line No. 
89F44) connecting the existing Keyes Sand Well Nos. 23, 26, 34 and 35 
to the temporary compression and treatment plant. According to CIG, 
this would isolate its ability, through the dedication of one line, to 
deplete the reservoir without affecting the ability of the existing 
line to be used for storage related services; (2) installing an 
approximate 600 horsepower leased compressor, hydrogen sulfide 
treatment, and appurtenant facilities, all within a 250 foot by 350 
foot plant yard and located immediately adjacent to the existing Boehm 
Central Dehydration Plant. According to CIG, this will reduce the area 
to be disturbed by the temporary facilities; (3) converting Keyes Sand 
Well Nos. 17, 36 and 47 to ``G'' Sand injection/withdrawal wells; and 
(4) converting Keyes Sand Well Nos. 14, 18, 21, 25 and 31 to Keyes Sand 
observation wells for improved monitoring of the reservoir.
    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 Springs, Colorado 
80944, at (719) 520-3788 or fax (719) 520-4318.
    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 24, 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.
