[Docket No. CP97-769-000]
Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Application
September 30, 1997.
Take notice that on September 24, 1997, Colorado Interstate Gas
Company (CIG), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944,
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, filed in
Docket No. CP97-769-000 an application for a certificate of public
convenience and necessity authorizing the construction and operation of
facilities for the transportation of natural gas in interstate
commerce, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
[[Page 52095]]
CIG states that it proposes to construct the Campo Lateral from an
interconnect with CIG's 10-inch diameter Picketwire Lateral in Las
Animas County, Colorado to an interconnect with CIG's Campo Regulator
Station in Baca County, Colorado. The proposal consists of
approximately 115 miles of 16-inch diameter pipeline and will increase
CIG's capacity out of the Raton Basin Area in Colorado and New Mexico.
The capacity of the proposed lateral is approximately 110,000 Mcf per
day, with an estimated cost of approximately $20.6 million.
CIG states that it has existing and incremental firm transportation
commitments increased to 73 percent of the capacity of the proposed
lateral in August, 2000. CIG has further requested an advance
determination that these facilities be given rolled-in rate treatment.
CIG also requests appropriate Commission authority required to
increase the Picketwire lateral maximum allowable operating pressure to
1308 psig.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before October 21, 1997,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C.
20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the
requirement of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR
385.214 or 385.211) and the regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18
CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be considered
by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not
serve to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person
wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a party
in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in accordance
with the Commission's Rules.
A person obtaining intervenor 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 every one of the
intervenors. An intervenor can file for rehearing of any Commission
order and can petition for court review of any such order. However, an
intervenor must submit copies of comments or any other filing it makes
with the Commission to every other intervenor in the proceeding, as
well as 14 copies with the Commission.
A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of
environmental documents and will be able to participate in meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all
documents filed by the other parties or issued by the Commission and
will not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's
final order to a federal court.
The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally,
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely
filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for CIG to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
