K N Interstate Gas Transmission

Company; Notice of Application

May 23, 1996.

Take notice that on May 20, 1996, K

N Interstate Gas Transmission Company

(KNI), 370 Van Gordon Street,

Lakewood, Colorado 80228–8304, filed

an application with the Commission in

Docket No. CP96–529–000 pursuant to

Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act

(NGA) for permission and approval to

abandon its Haven Line in Reno County,

Kansas, which was authorized in Docket

No. CP70–239,1 all as more fully set

forth in the application which is open

to the public for inspection.

KNI proposes to abandon by sale

approximately 9.2 miles of 16-inch

diameter pipe (the Haven Line) in Reno

County to Mid Continent Market Center,

Inc. (Mid Continent), which would

operate the Haven Line as part of its

intrastate pipeline system. KNI states

that it would sell the Haven Line to Mid

Continent for a negotiated price of

$205,000. KNI also states that the only

customers currently being served from

the Haven Line are nine end-users who

are direct retail customers of K N

Energy, Inc. KNI’s parent company. KNI

further states that Western Resources,

Inc., Mid Continent’s parent, would take

over as the direct retail supplier to these

nine end-users; thus, no customer

would lose gas service as a result of

KNI’s proposed abandonment of the

Haven Line to Mid Continent.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before June 13,

1996, 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 or 385.211) and the Regulations

under the NGA (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.

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 NGA 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 permission and

approval for the proposed abandonment

are 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 KNI to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

Secretary.

Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, L.L.C.,

Portland Natural Gas Transmission

System; Notice of Technical

Conference

May 23, 1996.

Take notice that a technical

conference will be convened in the

above-docketed proceedings on

Thursday, June 6, 1996, at 10:00 a.m., in

a room to be designated at the offices of

the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,

Washington, D.C. 20426.

The purpose of the technical

conference is to allow the project

proponents to clarify how the two

above-docketed projects will serve

either local distribution companies or

other natural gas customers in Maine

and New Hampshire. Proponents of

these projects and all of the interstate

pipelines that will provide upstream or

downstream transportation for the

projects should attend and be prepared

to answer questions relating to the

required interconnections and

operational requirements for each

project.

Specifically, all of the parties should

be prepared to discuss the following:

• What, if any, impediments exist

related to Maritimes & Northeast

Pipeline, L.L.C.’s (Maritimes) proposal

to interconnect with Granite State Gas

Transmission, Inc.’s (Granite State) and

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company’s

(Tennessee) existing transmission

facilities?

• What provisions of Granite State’s

FERC tariff and Maritimes’ pro forma

FERC tariff apply to Maritimes’ and/or

its shippers’ request to interconnect

with Granite State and for service on

Granite State? To what extent have the

pipelines and/or shippers complied or

will comply with such provisions? Also,

were the interconnections with Granite

State for the Portland Natural Gas

Transmission System (PNGTS) project

treated consistently with the request by

Maritimes for interconnections?

• What were the circumstances

relating to any other receipt or delivery

points which Granite State has

constructed or plans to construct under

the terms of its FERC tariff?

• What are the potential capacity

release volumes and/or excess capacity

on Tennessee and Granite State for these

projects?

Any party, as defined in 18 CFR

385.214, and any participant, as defined

in 18 CFR 385.102(b), in the abovedocketed proceedings are invited to

participate in the technical conference.
