[Docket No. CP98-148-000]
Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
December 30, 1997.
Take notice that on December 19, 1997, Williams Natural Gas Company
(WNG), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket No. CP98-
148-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.212 and 157.216 of
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,
157.212 and 157.216) for authorization to abandon in place by sale to
Western Resources, Inc. (WRI), approximately 3,246 feet of 2-inch
lateral pipeline and to relocate and replace the WRI Richmond town
border meter setting and appurtenant facilities, located in Franklin
County, Kansas, under WNG's blanket certificate issued in Docket Nos.
CP82-479-000, pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more
fully set forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and
open to public inspection.
Specifically, WNG seeks authorization to: (1) Abandon in place by
sale to WRI approximately 3,246 feet of the Richmond 2-inch lateral
pipeline beginning in Section 7, Township 19 South, Range 20 East,
Franklin County, Kansas and ending in Section 13, Township 19 South,
Range 19 East, Franklin County, Kansas, (2) reclaim the WRI Richmond
town border meter setting and appurtenant facilities from Section 13,
Township 19 South, Range 19 East, Franklin County, Kansas, and (3)
install a new rotary meter setting and high pressure regulator setting
at the site of the existing regulator setting in Section 7, Township 19
South, Range 20 East, Franklin County, Kansas.
WNG states that selling the pipeline, replacing and relocating the
town border meter setting will allow WRI to receive gas that this
location at a higher delivery pressure in order to accommodate a
proposed housing subdivision in the area. WNG states that the most
recent annual volume through the Richmond town border setting was
27,222 Dth with a peak day volume of 259 Dth and that no significant
change in volume is expected immediately. WNG states that the cost to
replace and relocate the Richmond town border meter setting is
estimated to be $127,435.
WNG states that the four domestic customers located on the pipeline
to be sold to WRI that are currently billed and served by WRI will
continue to served by WRI after the abandonment.
Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 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 Sec. 157.205 of the
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 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 time allowed for filing a
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
