[Docket No. CP98–128–000]

Wyoming Interstate Company, LTD and

Colorado Interstate Gas Company;

Notice of Application

December 24, 1997.

Take notice that on December 12,

1997, Wyoming Interstate Company,

LTD (WIC), 2000 M Street, N.W., Suite

300, Washington, D.C. 20036, and

Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG),

P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs,

Colorado 80944, filed jointly in Docket

No. CP98–128–000 an application

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural

Gas Act for authorization to construct

and operate compression and

appurtenant facilities in Albany County,

Wyoming, and Weld County, Colorado,

and to abandon and acquire pipeline

capacity, all as more fully set forth in

the application on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

WIC proposes to construct and

operate an additional 4,680 horsepower

compressor and appurtenant facilities at

the existing Laramie Compressor Station

in Wyoming, and to construct and

operate an additional 2,700 horsepower

compressor at the existing CheyenneWIC Compressor Station in Colorado.

CIG and WIC request that the

Commission authorize CIG to abandon,

via lease to WIC, the incremental

capacity stemming from the increased

compression. CIG and WIC request that,

since CIG will continue to use the

existing capacity of its Powder River

Line to serve its firm obligations, WIC

be authorized to abandon, by lease to

CIG, a portion of the additional

compression that corresponds to that

additional capacity.

WIC proposes to charge shippers

using the incremental facilities an

incremental charge which is higher than

its existing rates. Because of the mutual

benefits of the two leases, no separate

leasing charge is proposed by either

WIC or CIG. WIC convened an open

season for the additional capacity and

secured a 10-year firm contract with

Western Gas Resources, Inc., for the

additional capacity.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before January

14, 1998, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 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
