[Docket No. CP94-11-003]


Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Amendment

February 13, 1996.
    Take notice that on February 9, 1996, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(WNG), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket No. CP95-
11-000 an amendment to its application to abandon by conveyance to 
Williams Gas Processing--Mid-Continent Region Company (WGP-MCR), 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, WNG seeks authority to retain two 2,000 horsepower 
compressors, which, after piping reconfigurations, will function as 
transmission, compressing gas downstream of the Jayhawk plant. Before 
this amendment, the abandonment contemplated WNG transferring to WGP-
KHC the United Station which is upstream of the Jayhawk processing 
plant and currently functions to compress gas into the Jayhawk plant. 
Due to higher than anticipated maintenance requirements and increased 
throughput at WNG's Hugoton transmission compressor station which is 
located downstream of the Jayhawk plant, additional transmission 
compression is needed.
    WNG has determined that, by reconfiguring the station yard piping, 
two of the compressor units at the United Station can be used to 
compress gas downstream of the Jayhawk plant. WNG states that these two 
units would operate as part of WNG's existing transmission compression 
at the Hugoton Station and would provide the 

[[Page 6367]]
needed additional compression at reasonable cost. Thus, the function of 
these two units would change from gathering to transmission.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said amendment should on or before February 27, 1996, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426, 
a petition 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 petition 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 petition 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 is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a petition for leave 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 provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will 
be unnecessary for WNG to appear or be represented at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
