Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.; Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

September 22, 1999.
    Take notice that on September 17, 1999, Williams Gas Pipelines 
Central, Inc. (Williams), tendered for filing to become part of its 
FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, 
with the proposed effective date of October 17, 1999:

First Revised Sheet No. 246
Second Revised Sheet No. 248

    Williams states that the purpose of the instant filing is to 
propose certain revisions and clarifications pertaining to operational 
flow orders (OFOs). Section 10.2(a), Storage injections and 
withdrawals, does not specifically state that an OFO can be issued when 
a Shipper's storage balance is almost exhausted or a Shipper's balance 
is close to its MSQ. Williams has added language to Section 10.2 to 
provide this additional clarification.
    Section 10.3, Failure to Comply with Operational Flow Orders, does 
not provide for OFO penalty credits in the event no party was harmed as 
a result of failure to comply with an OFO. Williams is adding language 
to state that if all Shippers and Point Operators receive their gas, 
the payments for OFO penalties will be credited to Shippers or Point 
Operators who complied with the OFO or, if all parties subject to the 
OFO violate the terms, Williams will file to propose a method of 
distribution of penalty revenue.
    Williams states that a copy of its filing was served on all of 
Williams' jurisdictional customers and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests must be filed as 
provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 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 proceedings. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission 
and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
