[Docket No. CP96-137-000]


Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

January 19, 1996.
    Take notice that, on January 16, 1996, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(Williams), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74001, filed an abbreviated 
application, pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, for an 
amendment to the certificate issued on September 24, 1958, in Docket 
No. G-10956 (20 FPC 390), all as more fully set forth in the 
application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    The subject certificate authorized Williams (formerly: Cities 
Service Gas Company) to construct and operate the Elk City Storage 
Field in Elk, Chautauqua, and Montgomery Counties, Kansas, as an 
underground gas storage field. Williams now requests Commission 
authorization to:
    (1) Construct and operate approximately 5,000 feet of 6-inch 
gathering lateral and appurtenant facilities from two existing storage 
observation wells in Sections 14 and 15, T31S, R13E, in Elk and 
Montgomery Counties, to a point in the southwest quarter of Section 14, 
T31S, R13E, in Montgomery County;
    (2) Convert those observation wells to injection/withdrawal status; 
and
    (3) Install and operate one 1,000 horsepower skid-mounted 
compressor unit and appurtenant facilities in the southeast quarter of 
Section 23, T31S, R13E, in Montgomery County.
    Williams asserts that these facilities will allow it to capture gas 
that would otherwise migrate out of the Elk City Storage Field, and 
return it to the storage field for the benefit of Williams and its 
storage customers.
    Any person desiring to be heard, or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should, on or before January 29, 1996, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C., 
20426, a motion to intervene or 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 the proceeding, or to participate 
as a party in any hearing therein, must file a motion to intervene in 
accordance with Commission's Rules.
    Taken 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, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
filed, or 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 Williams to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
