[Docket No. CP98-280-000]
Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc., Notice of Application
April 24, 1998.
Take notice that on March 12, 1998, Williams Gas Pipelines Central,
Inc. (Williams) P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74101, filed in Docket
No. CP98-280-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for an order permitting and approving the
abandonment of Craig Storage Field (Craig Field), facilities and
related storage service, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Specifically, Williams seeks authorization to abandon the Craig
field located in Johnson County, Kansas; to plug 60 injection/
withdrawal wells; 7 observation wells; and to abandon in place or by
sale to Kansas Gas Service Company, A Division of ONEOK, Inc.,
approximately 12.76 miles of various diameter gathering lines and other
appurtenant facilities.
Any person desiring to participate in the hearing process or to
make any protest with reference to said application should on or before
May 15, 1998, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,
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 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 person to whom the protests are directed. 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 issued by the Commission, filed by the
applicant, or 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 filing an original and 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 such
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
[[Page 23769]]
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 permission and
approval for the proposed abandonment are 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.
Acting Secretary.
