Williams Natural Gas Company v. Oxy USA, Inc.; Notice of 
Complaint

May 25, 1995.
    Take notice that on May 22, 1995, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(WNG), pursuant to Rule 206, of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure, 18 CFR 385.206(a), filed a complaint against Oxy USA Inc., 
(Oxy).
    WNG submits that Oxy has filed a lawsuit against WNG in the 
District Court of Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma, Case No. CJ-95-01765 
claiming the right to certain excess royalty reimbursements on two NGPA 
Section 102 wells during periods prior to 1985 when the price of 
Section 102 gas was regulated.
    WNG states that it has already paid to Oxy the maximum lawful price 
(MLP) for such Section 102 gas. WNG requests that the Commission issue 
an order finding (a) any collection of excess royalties by Oxy from WNG 
in addition to the maximum lawful price already paid for such gas would 
violate the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, 15 USC Secs. 3311-3333; and 
(b) this is an issue within the exclusive jurisdiction of the 
Commission.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said complaint should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 
20426, in accordance with Rules 214 and 211 of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure 18 CFR 385.214, 385.211. All such motions or 
protests should be filed on or before June 26, 1995. Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to 
intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and 
are available for public inspection. Answers to this complaint shall be 
due on or before June 26, 1995.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
