[Docket No. CP06-169-000]

 
Cheyenne Plains Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

May 10, 2006.
    Take notice that on May 1, 2006, Cheyenne Plains Gas Pipeline 
Company, L.L.C. (Cheyenne Plains), Post Office Box 1087, Colorado 
Springs, CO 80944, filed in Docket No. CP06-169-000, a request pursuant 
to Sec.  157.205 and 157.208 of the Commission's regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.208 (2005)) and its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP03-304-000 for authorization to 
construct, own and operate 25.07 miles of 12\3/4\-inch pipeline loop 
beginning at its existing Delta Washco Receipt Point Meter Station, 
located in Washington County, Colorado and extending northeasterly to a 
new receipt point interconnection located in Yuma County, Colorado. In 
addition, Cheyenne Plains proposes to install two electric-driven 
reciprocating compressor units totaling approximately 1,800 horsepower 
(ISO), and appurtenances, at approximately Milepost 25+370 of the 
proposed lateral in Yuma County Colorado. Cheyenne Plains will also 
install one 6 and one 4 ultrasonic meter, with 
appurtenances, located at Milepost 25+370 of the proposed lateral in 
Yuma County Colorado. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Web at

    Cheyenne Plains states in its filing, that the proposed Yuma 
Lateral is being constructed in response to the existing demand for 
pipeline capacity to transport natural gas from production areas in the 
Niobrara Reservoir to additional markets. Furthermore, Cheyenne Plains 
believes that further development of the Niobrara Reservoir gas supply 
will help replace lost production resulting from disruptions to Gulf of 
Mexico natural gas production caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita; 
thus helping to alleviate current nationwide gas supply concerns. 
Cheyenne Plains indicates the proposed Yuma Lateral will prevent the 
shutting in of natural gas production and help avoid the permanent loss 
of future production. Finally, Cheyenne Plains states that these 
proposed facilities will have no significant adverse environmental 
impacts.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and, pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 
157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the 
time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be 
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a 
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as 
an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Richard Derryberry, Director of Regulatory Affairs Department, Cheyenne 
Plains Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C., Post Office Box 1087, Colorado 
Springs, CO 80944, or call (719) 520-3782.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

Secretary.
