    The long-term lease of 360 MDth per day of firm capacity in 
approximately 25.73 miles of existing pipeline facilities owned by 
Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (Natural), all located in Cook, 
Will and Kankabee Counties, Illinois; the construction and operation of

the Commission's Regulations.
    This application is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, 
using the ``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the

    KMIP will be a new interstate pipeline company subject to 
Commission jurisdiction under the NGA. The design capacity of KMIP will 
be 360 MDth per day. KMIP has one anchor shipper, The Peoples Gas Light 
and Coke Company (PGLC), which has signed a precedent agreement for 
long-term firm transportation service totaling 360 MDth per day. KMIP's 
facilities are intended to help meet the goals of PGLC which are to: 
(1) Increase gas supply diversity into the City of Chicago, (2) lessen 
dependence on PGLC's Crawford Station by providing additional supply 
access directly to the Calumet region of its system and (3) increase 
reliability of supply in the event of catastrophic interruption of 
existing deliveries into PGLC's Chicago distribution system. The 
estimated cost of the proposed facilities is $13.3 million. KMIP 
proposes an in-service date by November 1, 2007.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Bruce H. Newsome, Vice President, Kinder Morgan Illinois Pipeline LLC, 
747 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148 at (603) 691-3526.
    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 the comment date stated below, 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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.

    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and

link at http://www.ferc.gov. The Commission strongly encourages 
intervenors to file electronically. Persons unable to file 
electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest 
or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    Comment Date: October 16, 2006.
