Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas

Transmission LLC; Notice of

Application

May 18, 2000.

Take notice that on May 11, 2000,

Kinder Morgan Interstate Transmission

LLC (Kinder Morgan), P.O. Box 281304,

Lakewood, Colorado 80228, filed in

Docket No. CP00–364–000 an

application pursuant to Section 7(b) of

the Natural Gas Act for permission and

approval to abandon certain pipeline

compression facilities located in Kansas,

all as more fully set forth in the

application on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection. This

filing may be viewed on the web at

http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/htm (call

202–208–2222 for assistance).

Kinder Morgan proposes to abandon

by removal a 500 horsepower

compressor unit at the Stockton

Compressor Station in Rooks County,

Kansas. Kinder Morgan states that this

unit has not been used since 1985

because of declining gas reserves in the

area. Kinder Morgan proposes to

abandon by removal 6 compressor units

totaling 6,950 horsepower at the Palco

Compressor Station also located in

Rooks County, Kansas. It is asserted that

the compressor station has not been

used since February 1988, also due to

declining gas reserves in the area.

Kinder Morgan proposes to abandon in

place 3 compressor units at the Lakin

Compressor Station located in Kearny

County, Kansas. It is stated that these

units, one 1,100 horsepower unit, and

two 1,600 horsepower units, have not

been utilized since July 1995 because of

reduced gas production in the Hugoton

Field.

Kinder Morgan estimates the cost of

retiring the facilities at $716,000 and the

salvage value at $25,000. It is asserted

that the proposed abandonments will

not negatively impact gas flows or the

ability to render transportation service

on Kinder Morgan’s system. It is further

asserted that the abandonments will not

require any change in Kinder Morgan’s

FERC Gas Tariff.

Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to B.J.

Becker, Assistant General Counsel, at

(303) 763–3496, Kinder Morgan

Interstate Gas LLC, P.O. Box 281304,

Lakewood, Colorado 80228–8304.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before June 14,

2000, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First

Street, NE, Washington, DC 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 Natural

Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests

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 Kinder Morgan to

appear or be represented at the hearing.
