Company, L.L.C. (Cheyenne Plains), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado 
Springs, CO 80944, filed in Docket No. CP06-169-000, a request pursuant 
to Sec.  157.205 and 157.208 of the Commission's regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.208 (2005)) and its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP03-304-000 for authorization to

    Cheyenne Plains states in its filing, that the proposed Yuma 
Lateral is being constructed in response to the existing demand for 
pipeline capacity to transport natural gas from production areas in the 
Niobrara Reservoir to additional markets. Furthermore, Cheyenne Plains 
believes that further development of the Niobrara Reservoir gas supply 
will help replace lost production resulting from disruptions to Gulf of 
Mexico natural gas production caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita; 
thus helping to alleviate current nationwide gas supply concerns. 
Cheyenne Plains indicates the proposed Yuma Lateral will prevent the 
shutting in of natural gas production and help avoid the permanent loss 
of future production. Finally, Cheyenne Plains states that these 
proposed facilities will have no significant adverse environmental 
impacts.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and, pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 
157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the 
time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be 
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a 
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as 
an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Richard Derryberry, Director of Regulatory Affairs Department, Cheyenne 
Plains Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C., Post Office Box 1087, Colorado 
Springs, CO 80944, or call (719) 520-3782.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
