Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

January 8, 1999.
    Take notice that on December 22, 1998, Colorado Interstate Gas 
Company (CIG), P.O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80944, filed 
in Docket No. CP99-136-000 a request pursuant to sections 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 construct a new delivery 
facility in Colorado to deliver gas to The City of Colorado Springs 
(City), under CIG's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-21-
000 pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set 
forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    CIG states that the Nixon Delivery Facility (Nixon) will be located 
in Section 25, Township 16 South, Range 65 West, El Paso County, 
Colorado and will be used to deliver gas to the City. The City will be 
the end-user of the gas which will be used for electric power 
generation.
    CIG states that City in a letter dated November 16, 1998 has 
requested an additional delivery point with the capability of 
delivering up to 20,000 Dth/Day. The natural gas will be used for 
additional electric generation to be installed at the City's existing 
Nixon Power Plant. The City has requested an in-service date of May 1, 
1999. The facilities will consist of a block valve and tap at an 
estimated cost of approximately $150,000. The City will be responsible 
for the cost of the proposed facilities. All construction will be 
within CIG existing right of way.
    CIG states that this proposal will have no effect on its peak day 
and annual deliveries, that its existing tariff does not prohibit the 
addition of new delivery points, that deliveries will be accomplished 
without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers and that the 
total volumes delivered will not exceed total volumes authorized prior 
to this request.
    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 section 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
