[Docket No. CP98-168-000]
Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application
January 8, 1998.
Take notice that on December 31, 1997, Williams Natural Gas Company
(WNG), P.O. box 3288, Tulsa Oklahoma 74101 filed in Docket No. CP98-
168-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act,
as amended, to abandon by sale, for subsequent reclaim and abandonment
in place about 126.1 miles of pipeline and related facilities in
Hemphill County Texas and Ellis, Woods and Woodward Countries,
Oklahoma, all as more fully set forth in the application on file with
the Commission and open to public inspection.
Specifically, WNG seeks authority to abandon by sale to CPI Pipe
and Supply, Inc., to reclaim for salvage and to abandon in place, about
126.1 miles of the Pampa 20-inch acetylene welded line. WNG estimates
that the cost of abandonment will be about $246,550 and the sales price
is $2,825,000.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before January 29, 1998,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C.
20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18
CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act
(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be
considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but
will not serve to make the
[[Page 2228]]
protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a
party to a proceeding or to participate as a party in any hearing
therein must file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely
filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for WNG to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
