Natural states that pursuant to lease agreements between Natural and PGLC dated July 10, 1947, February 20, 1950 and July 16, 1970, as amended April 20, 1976, Natural currently leases PGLC’s Crawford Line Nos. 1, 2 and 3 and Calumet Line Nos. 1, 2 and 3 within the City. Natural further states it has executed a new lease agreement with PGLC dated April 5, 2006 that will replace the old lease agreements and which provides for an extension of term and a reduction of the leased property in the Calumet Area (the lease of property in the Crawford Area is to remain unchanged). The new lease arrangement in the City will continue to provide Natural supervision, operation and control of facilities used by Natural to make deliveries to PGLC, Nicor Gas and Northern Indiana Public Service Company, three of Natural’s largest transportation and storage customers. The new lease arrangement does not include PGLC’s Calumet Line No. 3, which was removed to reflect PGLC’s desire to control and operate that pipeline as part of its local distribution system in order to receive the supply of gas to be delivered to PGLC by Kinder Morgan Illinois (KMIP), a new interstate natural gas pipeline company (and Natural), at a new city gate station to be located near 138th Street and Torrence Avenue, which Natural is to construct, own and operate under its blanket certificate. KMIP and Natural are filing concurrently two related applications which involve KMIP constructing a new pipeline system (KMIP Project), including the long term lease of capacity from Natural,1 and Natural abandoning by lease to KMIP certain capacity in existing pipelines owned by Natural.2 Natural seeks this abandonment/ certificate authority to coincide with the abandonment and certificate authority requested by Natural and KMIP in the two related applications.

Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding. However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission’s rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest. Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be placed on the Commission’s environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings associated with the Commission’s environmental review process. Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the Commission’s final order.

This application is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Natural states that pursuant to a lease agreement between Natural and Kinder Morgan Illinois Pipeline LLC (KMIP) dated September 12, 2006, Natural has agreed to lease capacity in existing pipeline facilities owned by Natural to KMIP. KMIP’s lease of such capacity, in conjunction with its construction of certain pipeline facilities (KMIP Project), is the subject of a separate application being filed concurrently by KMIP.1 Natural states that the lease of 360 MDth per day of firm capacity by 1 KMIP is filing concurrently in Docket Nos. CP06–455–000, et al. a related application seeking authority to develop and operate a new pipeline system designed to transport gas for The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company (PGLC), including the lease of capacity in existing facilities owned by Natural. VerDate Aug<31>2005 20:43 Sep 28, 2006 Jkt 208001 Natural to KMIP is an integral part of the KMIP Project and will avoid the construction of 25.73 miles of new 30inch pipeline. By leasing capacity from Natural, KMIP will reduce the overall cost and improve the efficiency of the KMIP Project and will also minimize new pipeline construction and the potential for associated environmental disruption. The design capacity of KMIP’s system will be 360 MDth per day. Natural further states that its existing system capacity will not be deceased by the lease, because the proposed location of 2.6 miles of new KMIP pipeline, in relation to the existing pipeline facilities of Natural, both upstream and downstream, will have the operational effect of enhancing the throughput capabilities of such existing Natural facilities. Natural seeks abandonment authority in the present docket to coincide with the certificate authority requested by KMIP in its separate application. Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Bruce H. Newsome, Vice President or Phillip R. Telleen, Attorney for Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America, 747 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148 at (630) 691–3526 and (630) 691–3749, respectively. Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214).
