[Docket No. CP97-779-000]
K N Interstate Gas Transmission Co.; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
October 1, 1997.
Take notice that on September 26, 1997, K N Interstate Gas
Transmission Co. (Applicant), P.O. Box 291304, Lakewood, Colorado
80228, filed in Docket No. CP97-779-000 a request pursuant to Sections
157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural
Gas Act for authorization to construct and operate two new delivery
taps, under blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-140-000, et
al.,\1\ all as more fully set forth in the request for authorization on
file with the Commission and open for public inspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See, 22 FERC para. 62,330 (1983).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Applicant proposes to construct two new delivery taps located in
Dawson and Buffalo Counties, Nebraska, which will be added as delivery
points under an existing transportation agreement between Applicant and
K N Energy Inc. (KNE). These proposed delivery points will be used by
KNE to facilitate the delivery of natural gas to direct retail sales
customers.
Applicant further states that these two taps were mistakenly
installed and gas service has commenced through one of the delivery
taps. At the request of the domestic retail customer of KNE, who is
receiving gas service, Applicant requests that such service continue
while this prior notice is under consideration, since economic and
physical hardship to the customer would result if service were
discontinued.
The Buffalo County, Nebraska delivery point will serve a commercial
customer approximately 6 Mcf on a peak day and 360 Mcf annually; and,
the cost of the valve and tap was estimated at $1,500. The Dawson
County, Nebraska delivery point will serve a domestic customer
approximately 4 Mcf on a peak day and 216 Mcf annually; and, the cost
of the valve and tap was estimated at $1,500. Applicant states that
construction of the proposed delivery point is not prohibited by its
existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accommodate the
service proposed herein without determent or disadvantage to
Applicant's other customers. Applicant holds a blanket transportation
certificate pursuant to Part 284 of the Commission's Regulations issued
in Docket No. CP89-1043-000.\2\

\2\ See, 48 FERC para. 61,159 (1989).

Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after
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 Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor,
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the
day after the time allowed for filing a 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 Natural Gas Act.
