Colorado Interstate Gas Company;

Notice of Petition for Declaratory Order

April 19, 1996.

Take notice that on April 17, 1996,

Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG),

Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs,

Colorado 80944, filed in Docket No.

CP96–335–000 a petition under Rule

207 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.207) for a declaratory order

determining that CIG is authorized: (i) to

hold 79,071 Dth per day of capacity on

Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd.

(WIC) and 10,000 Dth per day of

capacity on Trailblazer Pipeline

Company (Trailblazer) for shippers that

have requested CIG obtain such capacity

on their behalf and (ii) to hold 20,000

Dth per day of capacity on WIC for

operational use, all as more fully set

forth in the petition which is on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

It is stated that WIC (an affiliate of

CIG) originates in Sweetwater County,

Wyoming, and terminates in Weld

County, Colorado. WIC receives gas at

interconnections in Sweetwater and

Carbon Counties, Wyoming with CIG,

Questar Pipeline Company, Overthrust

Pipeline Company, and Western Gas

Resources, Inc. CIG states that WIC

delivers gas to CIG and Trailblazer in

Weld County, Colorado.

CIG states that in January 1996, both

Trailblazer and WIC posted on their

electronic bulletin boards

announcements of an open season

during which interested shippers could

submit requests for capacity on

expansions that both pipelines were

then considering.

It is stated that CIG submitted bids

and was awarded capacity for two

discrete parcels of WIC expansion

capacity consisting of (i) 79,071 Dth/d to

give shippers increased service options

on CIG, and (ii) 20,000 Dth/d to support

system operations on CIG. CIG contends

that is also submitted a bid and was

eventually awarded 10,000 Dth/d of

expansion capacity on Trailblazer. CIG

states that it has now signed a 10-year

firm transportation agreement for the

WIC capacity. It is stated that final

execution of the comparable agreement

is expected soon.

CIG states that its bids for the WIC

and Trailblazer capacity were supported

largely by other contracts executed by

Shippers on CIG’s own system who

sought to have CIG hold such additional

capacity in order to provide service for

this amount.

It is stated that CIG has allocated the

WIC/Trailblazer capacity to the

following customers of CIG on the basis

of their contracts with CIG for such

capacity.

Customer Quantity

Public Service Company of

Colorado 1 ........................ 49,371 Dth/d

Colorado Springs Utilities ... 1 19,700 Dth/d

Snyder Oil Corporation 2 ..... 10,000 Dth/d

Total ......................... 79,071 Dth/d

1 Capacity on WIC only with terms ending

September 30, 2001. 2 Capacity on WIC and Trailblazer with a

term of ten years from the in-service date of

WIC and Trailblazer expansions.

CIG states that the 20,000 Dth/d

parcel on WIC is to be held by CIG

solely for operational purposes. It is

stated that in its Order No. 636

compliance filing (Docket No. RS92–4),

CIG provided a detailed showing of its

need to retain 150 MMcf/d of WIC

capacity to support system operations,

which the Commission has approved.

It is stated that the same operational

reasons for continued retention of the

150 MMcf/d of capacity on WIC,3 along

with additional data submitted in its

petition, justify an additional 20,000

Dth/d of CIG capacity on WIC.

CIG states that its petition is in

accordance with the Commission’s

policy on acquisition of capacity by an

interstate pipeline on a third party

pipeline set forth in Texas Eastern

Pipeline Corporation, Docket No. CP95–

218–000, 74 FERC ¶61,074 (1996). In

addition, CIG requests that the

Commission find that such capacity will

be accorded rolled-in rate treatment.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

petition should on or before May 10,

1996, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 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.

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.
