Arkla Energy Resources Co., et al.; Natural Gas Certificate 
Filings

February 8, 1994.
    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Arkla Energy Resources Company, ONEOK Services, Inc.

[Docket No. CP94-204-000]

    Take notice that on January 28,1994, Arkla Energy Resources Company 
(AER), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002 and ONEOK Services, Inc. 
(ONEOK), 100 West Fifth Street, P.O. Box 871, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74102, 
filed in Docket No. CP94-204-000 a joint application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to 
abandon an exchange agreement and for AER to abandon by sale to 
Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company (ALG) certain facilities in Marshall 
County, Oklahoma, all as more fully set forth in the application which 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    AER states that its predecessor, Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company, 
and ONEOK's predecessor, Lone Star Gas Company, were authorized to 
exchange gas in McClain and Marshall Counties, Oklahoma. AER further 
states that it delivers gas to ONEOK in McClain County, Oklahoma and 
ONEOK redelivers the gas to AER in Marshall County, Oklahoma for 
delivery to ALG for distribution in the Town of Kingston, Oklahoma. ALG 
and ONEOK have negotiated intrastate service arrangements that make the 
exchange between AER and ONEOK no longer necessary, it is stated. ALG 
would operate the lines and taps as part of its rural distribution 
system in Oklahoma and continue to serve the Town of Kingston, 
Oklahoma, it is stated.
    AER proposes to abandon by sale to ALG the exchange receipt 
facilities, consisting of a 2-inch tap and meter station, and two 2-
inch delivery taps and meter stations and approximately 9.4 miles of 3-
inch pipeline, all located in Marshall County, Oklahoma. AER and ONEOK 
also propose to abandon the exchange service under AER's Rate Schedule 
No. XE-45. ONEOK asserts that it was not assigned a tariff or rate 
schedule when it accepted the assignment of service from Lone Star. 
ONEOK is not proposing to abandon any facilities.
    Comment date: March 1, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
F at the end of this notice.

issued in Docket No. CP82-406-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural 
Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file

is approximately $628,967.

pursuant to its Rate Schedule IT. Southern states that the installation 
of the proposed facilities would have no adverse effect on its peak day 
or annual requirements.
