Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

April 9, 1998.
    Take notice that on April 2, 1998, Williams Gas Pipelines Central, 
Inc. (Williams Central), Post Office Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, 
filed in Docket No. CP98-326-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 
and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for permission and approval to abandon 
facilities used for the receipt of transportation gas from Westar 
Transmission Company (Westar) and the related service, at two locations 
in Hemphill County, Texas. Williams Central makes such request under 
its blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000 pursuant to 
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    The Hemphill County facilities that Williams Central is proposing 
to abandon, were originally installed in 1989 (Setting #15033) and in 
1994 (Setting #16349) to receive transportation gas from Westar. It is 
stated that Westar installed, at its own cost, the meter settings and, 
as a result, is the owner of the meter settings. Williams Central 
states that its facilities consist of the tap and appurtenant 
facilities.
    It is averred that Westar has reclaimed meter #15033 and that 
Westar has informed Williams Central that they no longer have pipeline 
quality gas in their connecting line and thus plan to also reclaim 
meter #16349. Williams Central states that since Westar owns and will 
remove the meter setting, Williams Central's reclaim cost will be 
approximately $250.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
