Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. GT99-65-000]

 
Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd.; Notice of Cancellation of 
Tariff

August 27, 1999.
    Pursuant to Section 154.602 of the Commission's Regulations, 
Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd. (WIC) filed on August 23, 1999, a 
Notice of Cancellation of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 
1. WIC proposes that effective October 1, 1999, First Revised Volume 
No. 1 of the FERC Gas Tariff of Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd. is to 
be canceled.
    WIC states that as an open-access pipeline operating under Order 
No. 636, it has two tariffs: First Revised Volume No. 1 and Second 
Revised Volume No. 2. First Revised Volume No. 1 provides a tariff for 
individually-certificated service for WIC's original shippers. Second 
Revised Volume No. 2 is a tariff that satisfies the requirements of 
open-access transportation and Order No. 636.
    WIC states that when the Commission originally certificated the WIC 
transmission facilities, the Commission also certificated the 
transportation service agreements supporting the project. Because WIC 
is a project-financed pipeline, the Commission took into consideration 
WIC's loan obligations pursuant to project-financing. These obligations 
required that the original shippers receive individually-certificated 
service pursuant to WIC's Volume No. 1 Tariff. WIC states that it has 
received authorization to abandon its original Volume No. 1 
obligations. WIC states that it has executed Volume No. 2 agreements 
effective August 1, 1999, to replace the Volume No. 1 obligations.
    WIC states that cancellation of WIC's Volume No. 1 tariff will 
reduce the administrative burden on WIC and shippers associated with 
maintaining and monitoring multiple tariffs, that it has received 
lender approval to cancel its Volume No. 1 Tariff, and that all 
agreements were converted to ``open access'' service effective August 
1, 1999, pursuant to 18 CFR 157.217. Therefore, effective August 1, 
1999, WIC has no transportation service under its Volume No. 1 Tariff.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 
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 proceedings. 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. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
