[Docket No. CP99-316-000]
Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.; Notice of Application
April 21, 1999.
Take notice that on April 15, 1999, Williams Gas Pipelines Central,
Inc., (Williams), formerly named Williams Natural Gas Company, P.O. Box
3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74101, filed an application pursuant to Section
7(b) and Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for an order
permitting and approving (1) the abandonment by reclaim of two 230
horsepower Ajax compressor units and appurtenant facilities and (2) the
installation of a replacement 310 horsepower compressor unit and
appurtenant facilities at the South Welda booster station located in
Anderson County, Kansas, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
This filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/
rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
Specifically, Williams seeks authority to abandon by reclaim the
two 230 horsepower compressor units and replace them with a 310
horsepower compressor unit on the existing station site. The project
cost is estimated to be approximately $257,414.
Any person desiring to participate in the hearing process or to
make any protest with reference to said application should on or before
May 12, 1999, 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 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. The Commission's rules require
that protestors provide copies of their protests to the party or
parties directly involved. 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.
A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive
copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by every one of the
intervenors. An intervenor can file for rehearing of any Commission
order and can petition for court review of any such order. However, an
intervenor must submit copies of comments or any other filing it makes
with the Commission to every other intervenor in the proceeding, as
well as 14 copies with the Commission.
A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of
environmental documents and will be able to participate in meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission and will
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final
order to a federal court.
The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally,
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
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 or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely
filed or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Williams to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
