Overthrust Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

April 15, 2003.
    Take notice that on April 7, 2003, Overthrust Pipeline Company, 
(Overthrust) tendered for filing an abbreviated application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, and 18 CFR 157.7 
and 157.18, requesting authority to: (1) Abandon the firm service 
obligation to transport 42,000 Dth per day for Colorado Interstate Gas 
Company (CIG) and 98,600 Dth per day for Natural Gas Pipeline Company 
of America (NGPL) and (2) abandon Overthrust's Original Volume No. 1 
FERC Gas Tariff effective January 1, 2003.
    Overthrust indicates that, by letters dated December 7, 2001, and 
November 5, 2001, CIG and NGPL, respectively, gave notice of their 
election to terminate all rights and obligations under their Rate 
Schedule T service agreements with Overthrust effective January 1, 
2003, and requested that Overthrust seek abandonment authority from the 
Commission.
    Overthrust requests authority to abandon the firm-transportation 
service obligations of CIG and NGPL established pursuant to their 
service agreements. Since all service under Original Volume No. 1 is 
proposed to be abandoned, Overthrust will no longer provide service 
under this tariff.
    Overthrust further requests the Commission make its approval to 
abandon Overthrust's Original Volume No. 1 FERC Gas Tariff effective 
January 1, 2003.
    Overthrust states that it does not propose to abandon, retire or 
modify any facilities as a result of the Commission granting the 
requested abandonment authorization.
    Overthrust states that it will continue to provide transportation 
service under its First Revised Volume No. 1-A FERC Gas Tariff as 
approved by the Commission pursuant to 18 CFR part 284, subparts B and 
G.
    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 385.314 or 385.211 of the Commission's rules 
and regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed on or 
before the comment date. Protests will be considered by the Commission 
in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve 
to make protestants parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to 
become a party must file a motion to intervene. This filing is 
available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or 
may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using
