    Wyoming Interstate Company, LTD and Colorado Interstate Gas 
    Company; Notice of Application
    
    December 24, 1997.
        Take notice that on December 12, 1997, Wyoming Interstate Company, 
    LTD (WIC), 2000 M Street, N.W., Suite 300, Washington, D.C. 20036, and 
    Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, 
    Colorado 80944, filed jointly in Docket No. CP98-128-000 an application 
    pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for authorization to 
    construct and operate compression and appurtenant facilities in Albany 
    County, Wyoming, and Weld County, Colorado, and to abandon and acquire 
    pipeline capacity, all as more fully set forth in the application on 
    file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
        WIC proposes to construct and operate an additional 4,680 
    horsepower compressor and appurtenant facilities at the existing 
    Laramie Compressor Station in Wyoming, and to construct and operate an 
    additional 2,700 horsepower compressor at the existing Cheyenne-WIC 
    Compressor Station in Colorado. CIG and WIC request that the Commission 
    authorize CIG to abandon, via lease to WIC, the incremental capacity 
    stemming from the increased compression. CIG and WIC request that, 
    since CIG will continue to use the existing capacity of its Powder 
    River Line to serve its firm obligations, WIC be authorized to abandon, 
    by lease to CIG, a portion of the additional compression that 
    corresponds to that additional capacity.
        WIC proposes to charge shippers using the incremental facilities an 
    incremental charge which is higher than its existing rates. Because of 
    the mutual benefits of the two leases, no separate leasing charge is 
    proposed by either WIC or CIG. WIC convened an open season for the 
    additional capacity and secured a 10-year firm contract with Western 
    Gas Resources, Inc., for the additional capacity.
        Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
    reference to said application should on or before January 14, 1998, 
    file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 
    20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the 
    requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 
    CFR
    
    [[Page 68286]]
    
    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.
        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 WIC or CIG to appear or be represented at 
    the hearing.
    Lois D. Cashell,
    Secretary.
