[Docket No. CP95-237-000]


Greeley Gas Company; Application for Service Area Determination

March 9, 1995.
    Take notice that on March 2, 1995, Greeley Gas Company (Greeley), a 
Division of Atmos Energy Corporation, Three Lincoln Centre, 5430 LBJ 
Freeway, Dallas, Texas 75265, filed in Docket No. CP95-237-000, an 
application pursuant to Section 7(f) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for a 
service area determination for its Lamar System in the states of 
Colorado and Kansas, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Greeley states that its Lamar System serves consumers in 
approximately six towns in southwest Kansas and 16 towns in southeast 
Colorado, as well as certain irrigation customers and right-of-way 
grantors. Greeley submits that grant of this application would assist 
Greeley to maximize gas cost benefits and enhance supply options for 
its Lamar System customers.
    Greeley asserts its Lamar System meets the Commission's criteria 
for granting a service area determination. Greeley states the 
following: All of its sales are regulated by either the Colorado or the 
Kansas public service commission; there are no sales for resale on the 
Lamar System, only retail sales and transportation for other customers; 
the Lamar System is essentially one integrated local distribution 
system with certain gathering areas; the system is limited to a 
specific geographical area in rural Kansas and Colorado, and connects 
to only one interstate pipeline, Colorado Interstate Gas Company; and 
[[Page 13975]] there are no other distribution companies in the area.
    Greeley requests that the Commission treat its Lamar System as a 
local distribution company for purposes of Section 311 of the Natural 
Gas Policy Act. Greeley further requests a waiver of all reporting and 
accounting requirements and rules and regulations which are ordinarily 
applicable to natural gas companies.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 30, 1995, 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 385.214 and 
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. Any person wishing to 
become a party in any proceeding herein must file a motion to intervene 
in accordance with the Commission's rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the 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 service area 
determination 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 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 Greeley to appear or to be represented at 
the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
