[Docket No. CP10-478-000]


Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

August 12, 2010.
    Take notice that on August 3, 2010, Colorado Interstate Gas Company 
(CIG), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in 
Docket No. CP10-478-000, a prior notice request pursuant to sections 
157.205 and 157.216 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission) Regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to 
abandon, by removal, the previously abandoned above-ground facilities 
at the Fourway Compressor Station, located in Moore County, Texas, 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. Enter 
the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, CIG proposes to abandon, by removal, all of the 
aboveground facilities including the following facilities: Five 
abandoned-in-place 1,320 Horsepower compressor units, office, shop, 
warehouse, auxiliary building, compressor building, foundations and 
basements, as well as other facilities. CIG proposes to remove all 
above-ground facilities with the exception of two functioning pigging 
facilities, which service the existing and operating Line No. 3A 
(Fourway to Kit Carson Line) and Line No. 193A (Plum Creek Lateral). 
CIG declares that the proposed removal activities will take place 
entirely within the station yard. CIG estimates the cost to complete 
the removal of the Fourway Compressor Station to be approximately $3.8 
million. CIG avers that subsequent to the abandonment in place, the 
Fourway facilities have been vandalized. To deter future vandalism, CIG 
believes that it is prudent to remove the aboveground facilities at the 
station.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Susan 
C. Stires, Director, Regulatory Affairs Department, Post Office Box 
1087, Colorado Interstate Gas Company,
