[Docket No. CP08-424-000]


Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

June 23, 2008.
    Take notice that on June 17, 2008, Colorado Interstate Gas Company 
(CIG), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in 
Docket No. CP08-424-000, a prior notice request pursuant to sections 
157.205(b) and 157.216(b) of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to abandon in 
place a 4.7-mile segment of 22-inch outer diameter pipe on its Wyoming 
Mainline (Line No. 5A) located in Adams and Denver Counties, Colorado, 
all as more fully set forth in the application, which is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may also be 
viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link.

    CIG proposes to abandon in place a 4.7-mile segment of Line No. 5A. 
CIG asserts that this segment has not provided natural gas service for 
several years. CIG states that this segment is located in an area with 
increasing right-of-way encroachment, which requires increased 
monitoring, making this segment operationally undesirable. CIG asserts 
that the ongoing monitoring, operation, and maintenance (O&M) 
activities on the 4.7-mile segment of Line No. 5A cost CIG 
approximately $12,000 annually. CIG states that the proposed 
abandonment will have no operational impacts on CIG, nor will it 
adversely affect CIG's ability to meet any of its existing contractual 
obligations. CIG avers that the abandonment of the 4.7-mile segment of 
Line No. 5A will not impact the available capacity for CIG's Wyoming 
Mainline or its overall system capacity.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to 
Richard Derryberry, Director, Regulatory Affairs Department, Colorado 
Interstate Gas Company, Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, 
Colorado 80904, or (719) 520-3782.
    Any person may, within 60 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. Any person filing to intervene or the Commission's staff, 
may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205) file 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.
    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.
