Wyoming, (ii) reaffirmation of market-based rate authority, and (iii)

injections and withdrawals from 35 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) 
and 50 MMcf/d to 350 MMcf/d and 500 MMcf/d, respectively, by increasing 
horsepower (hp) at the Clear Creek Plant from 3,740 hp to 24,340 hp and

amended facilities would include approximately 10.6 miles of pipeline 
between the Canyon Creek compressor station, the Clear Creek Plant, and 
a new interconnection with the Kern River Gas Transmission mainline, as 
well as the establishment of a one-quarter mile buffer zone around the 
storage reservoir, all as more fully set forth in the application which 
is on file with the Commission and open for public inspection.

instances, please reference the Project docket number CP21-6-000 in 
your submission.
    (1) You may file your motion to intervene by using the Commission's 
eFiling feature, which is located on the Commission's website
