Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Application

May 5, 1997.
    Take notice that on April 21, 1997, as supplemented on April 30, 
1997, Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG), 2 N. Nevada St., Colorado 
Springs, Colorado 80944, filed in Docket No. CP97-370-000 an 
abbreviated application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act 
and Sections 157.7 and 157.18 of the Commission's Regulations to 
abandon certain miscellaneous facilities used in connection with 
interstate gas transmission service, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Specifically, CIG seeks Commission approval to abandon the

Section 12, Township 1 North, Range 58 West, Morgan County, Colorado;
    (2) Cominco Meter Station \1\ located in Section 15, Block Y-2, GB

    (3) Green River Questar Meter Station \2\ and lateral located in 
Section 26, Township 18 North, Range 107 West, Sweetwater County, 
Wyoming;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Formerly Mountain Fuel Supply Company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (4) Palo Dura Meter Station located in Section 6, Block 2T, T&NORR 
Survey, Sherman County, Texas;
    (5) Sun Purchase Meter Station located in Section 5, Township 5 
South, Range 62 West, Arapahoe County, Colorado and lateral located in 
Sections 5, 8 and 17, Township 5 South, Range 62 West, Arapahoe County, 
Colorado; and
    (6) Ralston Inlet Meter located in Section 35, Township 52 North, 
Range 100 West, Park County, Wyoming and the Ralston Outlet Meter 
located in Section 8, Township 51 North, Range 100 West, Park County, 
Wyoming.
    According to CIG, the facilities proposed for abandonment, which 
were constructed and operated under certificate authority issued in 
various dockets, are no longer of use in the services for which they 
were originally certificated. Further, CIG states that the abandonment 
of these facilities will not affect any jurisdictional service that CIG 
currently renders.
    CIG intends to remove salvageable material for use elsewhere upon 
abandonment.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before May 27, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 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 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 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 CIG to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
