Take notice that on May 31, 2000,

TCP Gathering Company (TCP

Gathering), 555 Seventeenth Street,

Denver, Colorado 80202–3918, filed in

Docket No. CP00–372–000, an

application pursuant to Section 7(b) of

the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Section

157.18 of the Federal Energy Regulatory

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.

TCP Gathering explains that, upon

receipt of abandonment authorization, it

would reconfigure its facilities,

consisting of approximately 28 miles of

8-inch and 4-inch pipeline, to connect

them to an existing gathering system

owned and operated by TCP Gathering’s

new owner Tom Brown, Inc. (Tom

Brown) and would operate the facilities

as gathering facilities exempt from the

Commission’s regulation pursuant to

Section 1(b) of the NGA.

Currently, TCP Gathering has only

one shipper, with whom it has an

interruptible transportation contract.

The shipper’s gas transported from the

shipper’s well in the Little Valley field

in San Juan County, Utah for delivery to

Rocky Mountain Natural Gas company,

TCP Gathering’s previous owner, in San

Miguel County, Colorado. TCP

Gathering states that, upon obtaining the

requested abandonment authority, it

will construct an interconnection with

Tom Brown’s Lisbon Field gathering

system in San Juan County, Utah, and

plans to gather gas from wells along the

length of TCP Gathering’s system in

Utah and Colorado for delivery to the

Lisbon Field where the gas will be

processed in the Lisbon Plant.

regarding this proposal, the following

individual may be contacted: Bruce R.

DeBoer, TCP Gathering company, 555
