DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-186-000]

 
K N Interstate Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

January 23, 1998.
    Take notice that on January 15, 1998, K N Interstate Gas 
Transmission Company (K N Interstate), Post Office Box 281304, 
Lakewood, Colorado 80228, filed in Docket No. CP98-186-000 a request 
pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations 
under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for 
authorization to install and operate two new delivery taps and 
appurtenant facilities, to accommodate deliveries to K N Energy, Inc. 
(K N Energy). K N Interstate make such request under its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP83-140-000 and CP83-140-001 
pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set 
forth in the request on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    K N Interstate avers that K N Energy, a local distribution company, 
has requested the addition of new delivery points under K N Energy's 
existing transportation service agreement with K N Interstate. 
Specifically, K N Interstate proposes to install:
    1. A delivery point in Grant County, Kansas at an estimated cost of 
$29,000--to serve an irrigation customer. The quantities of gas to be 
delivered through that proposed point will be approximately 4,800 Mcf 
on a peak day and 158,400 Mcf annually, and
    2. A delivery point in Deuel County, Nebraska at an estimated cost 
of $20,000--to serve a commercial customer. The quantities of gas to be 
delivered through that proposed point will be approximately 24 Mcf on a 
peak day and 1,440 Mcf annually.
    K N Interstate states that it provides open-access transportation 
services, pursuant to a certificate issued by the Commission in Docket 
No. CP89-1043-000, and the Commission's Regulations found at 18 CFR 
Part 284. It is stated that since the delivery volumes are within the 
current maximum transportation quantities set forth in K N Interstate's 
transportation service agreement with K N Energy, that the addition of 
the proposed delivery points will not have any adverse impact, on a 
daily or annual basis upon K N Interstate's existing customers.
    It is further stated that the addition of the proposed delivery 
points would provide K N Interstate with additional outlets for natural 
gas transported through its system and would provide K N Energy with 
the opportunity to serve additional direct retail sales customers.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
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 Sec. 157.205 of the 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for filing a 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 Natural Gas Act.

Acting Secretary.
