ANR Pipeline Company; Notice of

Petition for Declaratory Order

[Docket No. RP96–234–000]

May 10, 1996.

Take notice that, on May 7, 1996,

ANR Pipeline Company (ANR) filed,

pursuant to Rule 207(a)(2) of the Rules

of Practice and Procedure of the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission

(Commission), 18 CFR 207(a)(2), a

petition for a declaratory order that ANR

is authorized to bill its customers for its

actual Account No. 858 costs for the

period November 1, 1993 to April 30,

1994.

ANR states that, pursuant to a

settlement approved at ANR Pipeline

Company, Docket Nos. RP89–161–000,

et al., 60 FERC (CCH) ¶61,145 (1992),

ANR was given the right to ‘‘track‘‘ its

Account No. 858 expenses underlying

the settled rates, through and until those

settled rates were superseded in a new

general rate proceeding under Section 4

of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), at which

time the parties would be free to

challenge ANR’s continued tracking

authority. Because the settlement was

approved for a one-year interim period

ending November 1, 1993, certain or

ANR’s customers believe there is

uncertainty surrounding the time period

during which the Account No. 858

tracker applies. ANR’s petition has been

submitted at the request of those

customers in order to verify ANR’s legal

authority to bill such costs.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest this filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street NE., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with 18 CFR

385.214 and 385.211 of the

Commissions Rules and Regulations. All

such motions or protests must be filed

on or before June 10, 1996. Protests will

be considered by the Commission in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken, but will not serve to make

protestants parties to the proceeding.

Any person wishing to become a party

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the

Commission and are available for public

inspection in the Public Reference

Room.

Colorado Interstate Gas Company;

Notice of Application

May 10, 1996.

Take notice that on May 7, 1996,

Colorado Interstate Gas Company (CIG),

Post Office Box 1087, Colorado Springs,

Colorado 80944, filed in Docket No.

CP96–511–000 an application pursuant

to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for

permission and approval to abandon a

sale, exchange and transportation of

natural gas involving Natural Gas

Pipeline Company of America (Natural),

all as more fully set forth in the

application on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection.

CIG proposes to abandon the services

which were carried out under

agreements on file with the Commission

as CIG’s Rate Schedules X–7, X–17, and

X–36. It is stated that under Rate

Schedule X–7 Natural was receiving

from CIG up to 10,000 Mcf of gas per

day on a firm basis (plus additional

volumes on a best efforts basis, if

available) from CIG’s reserves in Lea

County, New Mexico, and delivering

equivalent volumes to CIG at

interconnections in Texas and

Oklahoma. It is further stated that

Natural had the option to purchase 25

percent of the volumes from CIG. It is

stated that under Rate Schedule X–17

CIG was receiving up to 2,000 Mcf of gas

per day from Natural and delivering

equivalent volumes to Natural at

interconnections in Beaver County,

Oklahoma. It is stated that under Rate

Schedule X–36 CIG and Natural were

transporting and exchanging gas in

Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas.

It is asserted that CIG and Natural are

working to resolve an existing

imbalance resulting from the various

exchanges. CIG states that it will cancel

the 3 rate schedules on receipt of

abandonment authorization. CIG

explains that the facilities used for these

services will continue to be used for

open access transportation. It is asserted

that no customers will lose service as a

result of the proposed abandonments.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before May 31,

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 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.

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

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for CIG to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
