60240 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 216 / Friday, November 7, 1997 / Notices

Commission and open to public

inspection.

In its filing, K N Wattenberg seeks

authorization to: (1) Construct certain

pipeline facilities, including a 45-mile

segment of 24-inch of pipeline

extending from the Rockport Hub to a

location southwest of Greeley, Colorado,

perform any necessary pipeline

rerouting, and construct several gas

supply receipt and delivery

interconnects; (2) acquire from its

affiliate, K N Gas Gathering Company

(KNGG), approximately 34 miles of

existing 16-inch and smaller pipeline

which will be converted to interstate

transportation service and incorporated

into the Front Runner Pipeline; and (3)

operate the Front Runner Pipeline. K N

Wattenberg states that the Front Runner

Pipeline will be approximately 109

miles long, including secondary laterals,

and will stretch from the emerging

Rockport Hub, located south of

Cheyenne, Wyoming, to just north of the

Denver metropolitan area near Brighton

and the Denver International Airport.

Approximately 77 miles of the Front

Runner Pipeline will be constructed,

with the remainder to be required from

KNGG. Upon completion, K N

Wattenberg claims that the Front

Runner Pipeline will have a design

capacity of approximately 254 MMcf per

day flowing north to south into the

Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in

Northern Colorado, thus providing a

competitive transportation alternative

for growing markets in the area.

The estimated cost of constructing the

Front Runner Pipeline is $31 million. K

N Wattenberg proposes to charge

incremental transportation rates as

initial rates for service on the Front

Runner Pipeline and is not requesting a

pre-determination for authorization to

charge rolled-in rates. K N Wattenberg

plans to commence construction of the

proposed facilities between September

and December 1998, so that the system

can be placed in interstate service for

late winter 1998–99 operation. Thus, K

N Wattenberg requests that the

Commission approve the requested

authorizations by June 1998.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should, on or before

November 24, 1997, file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.,

20426, a motion to intervene or a protest

in accordance with the requirements of

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and

385.214) 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. The Commission’s

Rules require that protestors provide

copies of their protests to the party or

parties against whom the protests are

directed. 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.

A person obtaining intervenor status

will be placed on the service list

maintained by the Secretary of the

Commission and will receive copies of

all documents filed by the applicant and

by every one of the intervenors. An

inrtervenor can file for rehearing of any

Commission order and can petition for

court review of any such order.

However, an intervenor must submit

copies of comments or any other filings

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well as an original and 14 copies with

the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

however, in order to have

environmental comments considered. A

person, instead, may submit two copies

of comments to the Secretary of the

Commission. Commenters will be

placed on the Commission’s

environmental mailing list, will receive

copies of environmental documents and

will be able to participate in meetings

associated with the Commission’s

environmental review process.

Commenters will not be required to

serve copies of filed documents on all

other parties. However, commenters

will not receive copies of all documents

filed by other parties or issued by the

Commission and will not have the right

to seek rehearing or appeal the

Commission’s final order to a federal

court.

The Commission will consider all

comments and concerns equally,

whether filed by commenters or those

requesting intervenor status.

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 K N Wattenberg to

appear or be represented at the hearing.

Acting Secretary.
