[Docket No. CP97-543-000]
Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization
June 12, 1997.
Take notice that on May 22, 1997, as amended June 10, 1997,
Williams Natural Gas Company (WNG), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma
74101, filed in Docket No. CP97-543-000 a request pursuant to Sections
157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations (18 CFR 157.205,
157.212) under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to operate
existing delivery point facilities constructed under the authorization
of Section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA) in Noble
County, Oklahoma, for Part 284 transportation services by WNG for
Transok, Inc. (Transok), under WNG's blanket certificate issued in
Docket No. CP82-479-000, pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more
fully set forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and
open to public inspection.
WNG proposes to operate the existing facilities, which were
installed for WNG to receive gas from Transok, an intrastate pipeline,
for deliveries to Transok as well as receipt from Transok. It is stated
that the facilities were installed in 1988 as a receipt point under
WNG's blanket certificate authority and modified in 1997 under NGPA
Section 311 authority to be bidirectional. It is estimated that
deliveries will be 65,000 dt equivalent of gas on a peak day and
20,000,000 dt equivalent on an annual basis. It is asserted that the
deliveries will have no impact on WNG's peak day or annual deliveries.
It is further asserted that the volume of gas delivered to Transok will
not exceed the volume authorized prior to the request. It is explained
that the cost of constructing the facilities was approximately $63,864,
and that WNG was fully reimbursed for the cost by Transok. It is stated
that the proposal is not prohibited by WNG's existing tariff and that
WNG has sufficient capacity to accomplish the proposed deliveries
without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers.
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.
