2. Williams Natural Gas Company

[Docket No. CP95-11-000]

    Take notice that on October 5, 1994, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(Applicant), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket No. 
CP95-11-000 an application to abandon by conveyance to Williams Gas 
Processing--Kansas-Hugoton Company (WGP-KHC), an affiliated company, 
its Kansas-Hugoton gathering system facilities, all as more fully set 
forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Specifically, Applicant seeks authority to abandon by conveyance to 
WGP-KHC approximately 1719.2 miles of various diameter pipeline, 43,980 
horsepower of compression, measuring and appurtenant facilities in the 
Kansas-Hugoton gathering system, all used to gather gas from 
approximately 2,200 wells in Finney, Grant, Hamilton, Haskell, Kearny, 
Seward, Stanton and Stevens Counties, Kansas.
    WGP-KHC intends to assume ownership and control of the subject 
facilities as a non-regulated, independent, and separately managed 
business and concurrently herewith, in Docket No. CP95-12-000, is 
seeking a Commission declaratory order to confirm the non-
jurisdictional status of the subject facilities. Applicant also states 
that the Amoco Production Company, the largest producer in the Kansas-
Hugoton field will operate the Kansas Hugoton gathering system as an 
independent contractor, subject to a long-term operating agreement 
including, inter alia, an obligation to operate the facilities in an 
open access and non-discriminatory manner.
    Applicant states that some of the facilities subject to this 
application include certain direct-service ``taps'' whereby WNG 
currently provides a direct delivery service to certain residential 
and/or agricultural customers pursuant to right-of-way agreements. Upon 
conveyance of the facilities, Applicant claims all of these direct 
deliveries will be assigned to, and served by Williams Gas Marketing 
Company (WGM), so as to continue the identical service previously 
provided by WNG.
    Comment date: November 14, 1994, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph F at the end of this notice.

Docket No. CP95-13-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.211(a)(2) of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

Gateway's ability to serve its other existing customers. Comment date:

Standard Paragraphs

    F. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before the comment date, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 
20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the 
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 
CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be 
considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but 
will not serve to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any 
person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a 
party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in 
accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate and/or permission and approval 
for the proposed abandonment are required by the public convenience and 
necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if 
the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal hearing is 
required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
    G. 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.
