Colorado Interstate Gas Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

    Take notice that on January 24, 2019, Colorado Interstate Gas 
Company, L.L.C. (CIG), Post Office (P.O.) Box 1087, Colorado Springs, 
Colorado 80944, filed in Docket No. CP19-56-000 a prior notice request 
pursuant to sections 157.205, 157.208, and 157.210 of the Commission's 
regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) to construct and operate 
its High Plains Kiowa Lateral Expansion Project in Weld County, 
Colorado in order to allow for transportation service from a new 
natural gas processing plant located in the Denver-Julesburg (DJ) Basin 
to an interconnect with CIG's High Plains pipeline system. 
Specifically, CIG requests to construct, own, and operate: (i) The 
Kiowa Lateral, an approximately 9.2 mile 24-inch-diameter natural gas 
pipeline lateral; (ii) the Prairie Hound Meter Station, a new receipt 
meter on the proposed Kiowa Lateral; (iii) the High Five Lateral, an 
approximately 0.7 mile 24-inch diameter natural gas pipeline lateral; 
and (iv) the High Five Meter Station, a new meter station at the 
terminus of the proposed High Five Lateral. CIG states the proposed new 
facilities would enable CIG to provide an additional 410,000 dekatherms 
per day of firm transportation capacity from the DJ Basin to CIG's High 
Plains and mainline system. CIG states the project would cost 
approximately $26,600,000, all as more fully set forth in the 
application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    The filing is available for review at the Commission in the Public 
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's website web at 
https://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to

    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: 
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule 
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other 
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of 
the EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's 
public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of 
Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and 
state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary 
reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations 
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's EA.
    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 commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list and will be 
notified of any meetings associated with the Commission's environmental 
review process. Environmental commenters will not be required to serve 
copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party 
commenters will not receive copies of all documents filed by other 
parties or issued by the Commission and will not have the right to seek 
court review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link 
at https://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should 
submit an original and 3 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, 
DC 20426.
