K N Interstate Gas Transmission

Company; Notice of Application

January 16, 1998.

Take notice that on January 9, 1998,

K N Interstate Gas Transmission

Company (K N Interstate), P.O. Box

281304, Lakewood, Colorado 80228–

8304, filed an application pursuant to

Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and

part 157 of the Commission’s

Regulations for a certificate of public

convenience and necessity to operate

certain natural gas pipeline facilities

under Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas

Act that were constructed under Section

311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act, all as

more fully set forth in the application

which is on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection.

Specifically, K N Interstate seeks

authority to operate 34.4 miles of

pipeline in Johnson and Miami

Counties, Kansas and Jackson and Cass

Counties, Missouri under section 7(c) of

the Natural Gas Act. These facilities had

been constructed and operated solely for

the purpose of providing transportation

services under Section 311 of the

Natural Gas Policy Act. K N Interstate

states that the authority it requests will

allow it to provide open access

transportation pursuant to its Part 284,

Subpart G blanket certificate which will

maximize the use of the subject

facilities.

Any person desiring to participate in

the hearing process or to make any

protest with reference to said

application should on or before

February 6, 1998, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 1st

Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a

motion to intervene or a protest in

accordance with the requirements of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)

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 directly involved. 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

intervenor 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 filing

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well as 14 copies with the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

however, in order to have 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
Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 15 / Friday, January 23, 1998 / Notices 3555

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 Interstate to appear

or be represented at the hearing.

Acting Secretary.
