[Docket No. CP97-154-000]
Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
December 19, 1996.
Take notice that on December 13, 1996, Williams Natural Gas Company
(WNG), One Williams Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket No.
CP97-154-000, a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and
157.212) for authorization to utilize facilities, originally installed
for the delivery of NGPA Section 311 transportation gas to Mannford
Public
[[Page 68033]]
Works Authority (Mannford) in Creek County, Oklahoma, for purposes
other than NGPA Section 311 transportation, under WNG's blanket
certificate authorization issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000, pursuant
to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in
the request which is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection.
WNG explains that after the Section 311 facilities were installed
and the Section 311 agreement was signed with Mannford, a local
distribution company, an end-user behind Mannford asked about the
possibility of arranging transportation on his own behalf. WNG states
that it is now seeking authority to deliver Section 284 gas through the
facilities as well.
WNG describes the facilities as consisting of a 3-inch tap
connection, a single-run positive displacement meter with two pressure
cuts, and over-pressure protection, located in Section 20, Township 19
North, Range 8 East, Creek County Oklahoma. WNG says it began
delivering gas to Mannford through these Section 311 facilities on
November 22, 1996, with the initial delivery being 311 Dth. WNG states
that the cost to construct these facilities was approximately $50,848,
which will be recouped through a new production area TSS agreement,
which replaced Mannford's previous STS-P agreement. WNG explains that
these facilities are an additional delivery point for Mannford and will
handle all of Mannford's load through the summer and will be used in
conjunction with the existing orifice meter setting through the winter
months. WNG asserts that the use of the two meter settings will enable
WNG to more accurately measure fluctuating gas volumes.
WNG states that the requested change is not prohibited by an
existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish the
deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers.
WNG asserts that the operation of these facilities will have no impact
on WNG's peak day or annual deliveries. WNG states it has sent a copy
of this filing to the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.
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 Section 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
