By order dated May 28, 1999 (Holding Co. Act Rel. No. 27034) in this
proceeding, the Commission authorized New Century Energies, Inc. ("NCE"), a
registered holding company, its wholly-owned non-utility subsidiary, NC
Enterprises, Inc. ("Enterprises"), and its wholly-owned public-utility
subsidiary, Public Service Company of Colorado ("PSCo"), to carry out certain
transactions relating to the formation of WYCO Development LLC ("WYCO"), a
limited liability company to be 50% owned by Enterprises, the sale by PSCo to
WYCO of a 53-mile natural gas pipeline constructed by PSCo ("Front Range
Pipeline"), and the leaseback of such facility by PSCo. The remaining 50%
interest in WYCO will be held by a subsidiary of The Coastal Corporation
("Coastal"), and another subsidiary of Coastal, Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd.
("WIC"), intends to sell to and leaseback from WYCO certain natural gas
compressor and related pipeline facilities in Wyoming, referred to in the
Application as the Powder River Lateral Expansion.
The Front Range Pipeline and a portion of the Powder River Lateral
Expansion were completed and placed in service in late 1998. By Supplemental
Order dated August 24, 1999, the Commission authorized an extension of the
period of authorization for the sale-leaseback transactions through October 31,
1999. The parties have agreed to extend the closing an additional thirty-one
(31) days until December 1, 1999. WIC is currently in the process of
constructing certain of the facilities which WIC intends to sell to and
leaseback from WYCO, referred to in the Application as "Phase II" of the Powder
River Lateral Expansion. These facilities are scheduled to be completed and
placed into service on December 1, 1999. In order to include these
newly-constructed facilities in the planned sale-leaseback transactions, the
parties have agreed to schedule a closing coincident with the in-service date of
the new WIC facilities, but in no event later than December 15, 1999.
Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 24(c)(1), the applicants request that the
Commission issue a further order in this proceeding extending the effective
period of the May 28, 1999 order through December 15, 1999.
