Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas

Transmission LLC; Notice of

Application

June 9, 2000.

Take notice that on June 2, 2000,

Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas

Transmission LLC (KMIGT), P.O. Box

281304, Lakewood, Colorado 80228,

filed in Docket No. CP00–374–000 an

application pursuant to section 7(b) of

the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for

permission and approval to abandon by

sale to K N Energy, a division of Kinder

Morgan, Inc. (K N Retail), certain

secondary lateral pipelines, measuring

and tap facilities which are located in

the States of Colorado, Nebraska and

Wyoming, all as more fully set forth in

the application which is 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/rims.htm (call 202–208–2222 for

assistance).

KMIGT states that the facilities

proposed for abandonment are currently

utilized by KMIGT to make deliveries of

natural gas to K N Retail at its local

distribution systems. KMIGT states

further that these secondary laterals are

basically an extension of K N Retail’s

existing distribution system and would

better serve its retail customers if they

were owned and operated by K N Retail.

The abandonment, it is said, would

have no material impact on KMIGT’s

cost of service nor would it result in or

cause any interruption, disruption, or

termination of the transportation service

presently rendered by KMIGT.

KMIGT requests that the Commission

declare that the facilities, after the sale,

would be distribution facilities exempt

from the Commission’s jurisdiction

under Section 1(b) of the NGA.

Any person desiring to be heard or

any person desiring to make any

protests with reference to said

application should on or before June 30,

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

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 time 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 KMIGT to appear or be

represented at the hearing..

Acting Secretary.
