[Docket No. CP10-472-000]

 
Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas Transmission LLC; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

July 26, 2010.
    Take notice that on July 20, 2010, Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas 
Transmission LLC (KMIGT), PO Box 281304, Lakewood, Colorado 80228-8304, 
filed 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) 
for authorization to replace, construct and operate certain mainline 
pipeline and ancillary facilities primarily to serve a new ethanol 
plant in Adams County, Nebraska, all as more fully set forth in the 
application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the Web at http://
www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number 
excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access 
the document. For assistance, contact FERC at 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    KMIGT states that as a result of wrinkle bends, which have caused 
the pipeline to become physically deteriorated, approximately 11.4 
miles of its 16-inch Franklin to Hastings Pipeline needs to be 
replaced. KMIGT asserts that, in response to the developing market for 
natural gas and to develop firm transportation to serve ethanol 
production facilities in the Midwest, KMIGT held an open season from 
July 2, 2010 through July 9, 2010 seeking support to expand its firm 
transportation capacity. As a result of the open season, KMIGT states 
that it has entered into a binding precedent agreement with Aventine 
Renewable Energy--Aurora West, LLC to provide up to 10,000 dekatherms 
per day of natural gas to serve its new ethanol plant located near 
Aurora, Nebraska. Accordingly, KMIGT proposes to replace 11.4 miles of 
the Franklin to Hastings Pipeline with 20-inch pipe to serve the 
increase in firm load. In addition, KMIGT proposes to construct and 
operate certain ancillary facilities. KMIGT estimates cost of 
constructing the proposed facilities is $23,511,100.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to 
Robert F. Harrington, Vice President, Regulatory, Kinder Morgan 
Interstate Gas Transmission LLC, 370 Van Gordon Street, Lakewood,

(303) 984-3272, or by e-mail at Robert_Harrington@kindermorgan.com.

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

may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's regulations under

treated as an application for authorization pursuant to section 7 of 
the NGA.

protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18
