[Docket No. CP99-303-000]

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

April 16, 1999.
    Take notice that on April 13, 1999, K N Interstate Gas Transmission 
Co. (KNI), P.O. Box 281304, Lakewood, Colorado 80228-8304, filed in 
Docket No. CP99-303-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.212(a) of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212(a)) for authorization to construct and 
operate two new delivery points in Kearny County, Kansas to provide 
firm transportation and delivery of natural gas to Midwest Energy, Inc. 
(Midwest) under KNI's blanket certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP83-
140-000 and CP83-140-001, all as more fully set forth in the request 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. 
This filing may be viewed on the web at http:///www.ferc.fed.us/online/
rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    According to KNI, it provides firm transportation service for 
Midwest pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Transportation 
Agreement dated October 1, 1998. Midwest is a distribution customer of 
KNI, which owns and operates facilities to transport, distribute, and 
sell gas to consumers in Kansas. Midwest has requested two additional 
delivery points (Midwest Energy Kearny Nos. 1 and 2) to serve 
irrigation load in Kearny County, Kansas. KNI proposes to deliver 9,480 
Mcf on a peak day and 3,460,200 Mcf annually at Kearny No. 1 and 12,000 
Mcf on a peak day and 4,380,000 Mcf annually at Kearny No. 2. KNI 
estimates the proposed cost of the tap and valve assemblies, meter and 
appurtenant facilities at each of the proposed delivery points to be 
$106,600 for Kearny No. 1 and $126,100 for Kearny No. 2. Midwest has 
agreed to reimburse KNI for the total costs related to the construction 
of the proposed delivery points.
    KNI states the addition of the proposed delivery points will have 
no adverse impact on a daily or annual basis upon its existing 
customers. Additionally, KNI states the volumes of gas to be delivered 
at the proposed delivery points will be within the current maximum 
transportation quantities set forth in its transportation service 
agreement with Midwest. KNI asserts that the addition of the proposed 
delivery points is not prohibited by KNI's existing FERC Gas Tariff.
    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 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.
