DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-561-000]
Williams Gas Pipelines Central; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
May 26, 1998.
Take notice that on May 19, 1998, Williams Gas Pipelines Central,
Inc. (Williams), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket
No. CP98-561-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,
157.216) for authorization to abandon in place by sale to Missouri
Public Service, a division of Utilicorp United, Inc. (MPS),
approximately 5.8 miles of the 12-inch Sedalia lateral pipeline located
in Pettis County, Missouri, under Williams' 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 that is on file with
the Commission and open to public inspection.
Specifically, Williams seeks authorization to abandon in place by
sale to MPS approximately 5.8 miles of the Sedalia 12-inch lateral
pipeline (Line XT) located in Pettis County, Missouri, including
without limitation, all gas lines, meters, records and other equipment,
personal property, and fixtures located thereon and/or used in
conjunction with the operation of the pipeline. Williams states that
the 12-inch Sedalia line was originally installed in 1931 and
certificated in Docket No. G-298. Williams states that MPS will
incorporate the 12-inch pipeline segment into its existing distribution
system after it has received authorization from the Missouri Public
Service Commission to own and operate the line.
Williams states that it filed in Docket No. CP96-762-000 for
authorization to replace the MPS Sedalia town border setting and
relocate it to the site of Williams' main line gate in Pettis County,
Missouri. Williams states that the relocation of Sedalia town border
setting from the end of the subject pipeline to Williams' main line
makes it possible for it to sell this lateral pipeline.
Williams states that Missouri Gas Energy (MGE) currently serves
eleven domestic customers through the Sedalia 12-inch pipeline and that
Williams has one right-of-way obligation. Williams states that there
has been no gas delivery to its customer in eleven months, but if, and
when, gas delivery resumes, MPS will provide the service. Williams
states that in addition to the Williams obligation, MPS will provide
service to those domestic customers set out in the Assignment and Bill
of Sale between Williams and MPS after abandonment approval is
received. Williams states the sales price of the pipeline facilities to
be $144,681.
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.
