Leo Helzel; Notice of Petition for Adjustment

March 18, 1998.
    Take notice that on March 9, 1998, Leo Helzel (First Seller), filed 
a petition for adjustment under section 502(c) of the Natural Gas 
Policy act of 1978 (NGPA), requesting 1) an extension of 90 days to 
allow First Seller and Williams Natural Gas Company (Pipeline) to 
resolve any dispute as to the proper amount of the refund liability of 
first Seller for the Kansas ad valroem tax reimbursements set forth in 
the Statement of Refunds Due (SRD) addressed to Benson Mineral Group, 
Inc. (BMG), the operator, or to submit such dispute to FERC for 
resolution if the parties cannot resolve it within such time, and 2) in 
order to stop the accrual of interest pending resolution of disputes 
and legal issues, grant an adjustment to its procedures to allow First 
Seller to place into escrow not only any disputed amount of the refund 
amount calculated by Pipeline but also principal and interest on 
amounts attributable to production prior to October 4, 1983, and 
interest on all other amounts claimed to be due under the SRD.
    The procedures applicable to the conduct of this adjustment 
proceeding are in subpart K of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said petition should on or before 15 days after the date 
of publication in the Federal Register of this notice, file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
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, 385.211, 385.1105, and 385.1106). 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 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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
