Colorado Interstate Gas Company;

Notice of Proposed Changes In FERC

Gas Tariff

September 3, 1997.

Take notice that on August 28, 1997,

Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG),

tendered for filing to become part of its

FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume

No. 1, Second Revised Sheet No. 325 to

be effective September 30, 1997.

CIG states it is making this filing to

modify Section 9.6 of the General Terms

and Conditions of its tariff to allow it to

increase the acceptable range of its

‘‘input factor’’ (BTU divided by the

square root of specific gravity) to 6.2%

on a daily basis and to 7.8% on an

hourly basis.

CIG further states its Watkins Station

is a major pipeline junction on CIG’s

System and the point where gas from

CIG’s Northern, Central and Southern

Systems, as well as gas from Fort

Morgan Storage is blended. Air injection

facilities were Installed at Watkins

Station for the thermal control required

to maintain the input factor within the

limit of plus or minus 6% to satisfy

customer orifice requirements on CIG’s

Valley Line which supplies gas to the

City of Denver, the City of Colorado

Springs and other towns along

Colorado’s Front Range. Valley Line

customers are also required to purchase

certain low BTU gas on the southern

part of CIG’s System in order for CIG to

meet the input factor conditions

CIG states that for the last several

years it has been having an increasingly

difficult time in meeting input factor

requirements as the low Btu volumes

are depleting on the southern part of its

system.

CIG states it has had meetings with

Valley Line customers over a long

period of time to reach a consensus on

the long term actions needing to be

taken to meet orifice requirements on

the Valley Line. As part of this process,

and as a interim solution, CIG’s

customers have agreed to increase the

limits to the input factor. Therefore, CIG

is requesting herein to change the limit

of the input factor to plus or minus

6.2% on a daily basis, and to plus or

minus 7.8% on an hourly basis.

CIG further states that copies of this

filing have been served on CIG’s

jurisdictional customers and public

bodies.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest this filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, N.E., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with Section

385.214 and Section 385.211 of the

motions or protests must be filed as

provided in Section 154.210 of the

Commission’s Regulations. Protests will

be considered by the Commission in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken, but will not serve to make

Protestants parties to the proceeding.

Any person wishing to become a party

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the
