[Docket No. CP99-624-000]
Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd.; Notice of Application
September 24, 1999.
Take notice that on September 16, 1999, Wyoming Interstate Company,
Ltd. (WIC), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944 filed an
application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and
Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations to construct and operate
facilities in order to increase the capacity of its Medicine Bow
Lateral, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The application
may be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call (202)
208-2222 for assistance).
WIC proposes to increase the capacity of the Medicine Bow Lateral
from 260,000 dth per day to 380,000 dth per day by constructing: (1)
5.6 miles of 24-inch diameter pipeline from the interconnect with the
WIC mainline and the Medicine Bow Lateral to the discharge side of
WIC's Cheyenne Compressor Station all in Weld County, Colorado; and (2)
a 7,170 horsepower compressor unit at the Douglas Compressor Station in
converse County, Wyoming. WIC estimates that the proposed facilities
will cost $12,101,200 and proposes to finance the construction of the
facilities through funds on hand and internally generated cash from
operations.
WIC states that it has entered into contracts for the full capacity
of the proposed expansion with the existing Medicine Bow shippers. WIC
proposes to charge these shippers the existing Medicine bow rate as
previously approved in Docket Nos. CP99-102 and RP99-381.
Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
James R. West, Manager, Certificates, Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd.,
P.O. box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944 at (719) 520-4679.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before October 15, 1999,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or protest in
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214) and the regulations under
the
[[Page 52783]]
NGA (18 CFR 157.10). All protests field 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 in any proceeding 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 issued by the Commission, filed by the
applicant, or filed by all other 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 serve copies of comments
or any other filing it makes with the Commission to every other
intervenor in the proceeding, as well as filing an original and 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 such
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 parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all
documents filed by 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 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 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 provide for, unless otherwise advised, it will
be unnecessary for WIC to appear or to be represented at the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
