[Docket No. CP97-779-000]


K N Interstate Gas Transmission Co.; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

October 1, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 26, 1997, K N Interstate Gas 
Transmission Co. (Applicant), P.O. Box 291304, Lakewood, Colorado 
80228, filed in Docket No. CP97-779-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act for authorization to construct and operate two new delivery 
taps, under blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-140-000, et 
al.,\1\ all as more fully set forth in the request for authorization on 
file with the Commission and open for public inspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See, 22 FERC para. 62,330 (1983).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Applicant proposes to construct two new delivery taps located in 
Dawson and Buffalo Counties, Nebraska, which will be added as delivery 
points under an existing transportation agreement between Applicant and 
K N Energy Inc. (KNE). These proposed delivery points will be used by 
KNE to facilitate the delivery of natural gas to direct retail sales 
customers.
    Applicant further states that these two taps were mistakenly 
installed and gas service has commenced through one of the delivery 
taps. At the request of the domestic retail customer of KNE, who is 
receiving gas service, Applicant requests that such service continue 
while this prior notice is under consideration, since economic and 
physical hardship to the customer would result if service were 
discontinued.
    The Buffalo County, Nebraska delivery point will serve a commercial 
customer approximately 6 Mcf on a peak day and 360 Mcf annually; and, 
the cost of the valve and tap was estimated at $1,500. The Dawson 
County, Nebraska delivery point will serve a domestic customer 
approximately 4 Mcf on a peak day and 216 Mcf annually; and, the cost 
of the valve and tap was estimated at $1,500. Applicant states that 
construction of the proposed delivery point is not prohibited by its 
existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accommodate the 
service proposed herein without determent or disadvantage to 
Applicant's other customers. Applicant holds a blanket transportation 
certificate pursuant to Part 284 of the Commission's Regulations issued 
in Docket No. CP89-1043-000.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See, 48 FERC para. 61,159 (1989).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed 
and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
