No. CP03-301-000, an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the

the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission), for a 
certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing the 
construction, ownership, and operation of additional compressor 
facilities at its Cheyenne Compressor Station located in Weld County, 
Colorado. CIG states that these facilities will serve as ``jumper'' 
compression between CIG's existing transmission system and the future

regulations, CIG seeks approval of its proposed firm Cheyenne

and open to public inspection. This filing is available for review at 
the Commission or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link. Enter the docket number

submitting its section 7(c) application requesting the Commission's 
authority to construct, own and operate its natural gas transmission 
system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, CIG states that it is requesting the Commission make a 
Preliminary Determination on Non-Environmental Issues by November 20,

compression service, rate and tariff provisions.

    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 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) by the comment date, below. 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.
    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. 
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
    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.
    Comment Date: June 18, 2003.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
