[Docket No. CP98-226-000]
Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.; Notice of Application
February 20, 1998.
Take notice that on February 11, 1998, Williams Gas Pipelines
Central, Inc. (Williams), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed
in Docket No. CP98-226-000 an abbreviated application pursuant to
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, as amended, and Sections 157.7 and
157.18 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Regulations
thereunder, for permission and approval to abandon from interstate
service a Natural gas storage service between Williams and Kansas Gas
Service Company, now Western Resources, a division of Oneok, Inc.,
(KGSC), all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Williams states that the natural gas storage agreement dated
December 6, 1989, was originally authorized in Docket No. CP90-1297.
Williams further states that the agreement was terminated by mutual
agreement between Williams and KGSC. Williams asserts that at the same
time the storage agreement was executed, KGSC entered into a firm
transportation agreement to transport the storage gas. Williams further
asserts that the firm transportation maximum daily quantity is equal to
the maximum daily withdrawal quantity under the storage agreement, or
75,000 Dth per day. Williams also asserts that both the storage
agreement and the firm transportation agreement have a primary term of
six years ending March 31, 1997, and year to year thereafter unless
terminated by either party by giving two years written notice. Williams
indicates that on March 12, 1996, KGSC provided Williams with such
notice.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before March 13, 1998, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, a petition 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 protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to the proceeding or
to participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a petition
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 on this application
if no petition to intervene is filed within the time required herein,
and if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that the
abandonment is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a
petition for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission
on its motion believes that a formal hearing is required, further
notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provide for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Williams to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
