Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

September 23, 1996.
    Take notice that on September 18, 1996, Williams Natural Gas 
Company (WNG), One Williams Center, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101 filed in 
Docket No. CP96-799-000, a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 
157.216(b) of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216(b)) for authorization to abandon in place 
by sale to White Hawk Gas, Inc. (White Hawk), approximately 4.5 miles 
of the Hogshooter 16-inch pipeline located in Washington County, 
Oklahoma, under WNG's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-
479-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more 
fully set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    WNG explains that the Hogshooter line, originally installed in 1914 
and certificated in Docket No. G-298, has been effectively converted to 
a low pressure delivery lateral. WNG states the sales price as $17,846. 
WNG further indicates that the domestic customers served from the 
pipeline to be abandoned will be served by the local distribution 
company, Leann Gas.
    WNG states that it has sent a copy of this request to the Oklahoma 
Corporation Commission.
    WNG maintains that this request to abandon in place by sale is not 
prohibited by an existing tariff, and therefore this request complies 
with the requirements of subpart (b) of Section 157.205 of the 
Commission's regulations.
    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 Sec. 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
