[Docket No. CP96-529-000]
K N Interstate Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Application
May 23, 1996.
Take notice that on May 20, 1996, K N Interstate Gas Transmission
Company (KNI), 370 Van Gordon Street, Lakewood, Colorado 80228-8304,
filed an application with the Commission in Docket No. CP96-529-000
pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for permission
and approval to abandon its Haven Line in Reno County, Kansas, which
was authorized in Docket No. CP70-239,\1\ all as more fully set forth
in the application which is open to the public for inspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 44 FPC 149 (1970).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
KNI proposes to abandon by sale approximately 9.2 miles of 16-inch
diameter pipe (the Haven Line) in Reno County to Mid Continent Market
Center, Inc. (Mid Continent), which would operate the Haven Line as
part of its intrastate pipeline system. KNI states that it would sell
the Haven Line to Mid Continent for a negotiated price of $205,000. KNI
also states that the only customers currently being served from the
Haven Line are nine end-users who are direct retail customers of K N
Energy, Inc. KNI's parent company. KNI further states that Western
Resources, Inc., Mid Continent's parent, would take over as the direct
retail supplier to these nine end-users; thus, no customer would lose
gas service as a result of KNI's proposed abandonment of the Haven Line
to Mid Continent.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before June 13, 1996, 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 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (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 NGA 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
permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 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 KNI to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
