Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

April 19, 1996
    Take notice that on April 12, 1996, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(Williams), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket No. 
CP96-313-000 a request pursuant to Section 157.205 and 157.212 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 
157.212) for authorization to operate in interstate commerce certain 
facilities that were previously constructed and operated to effectuate 
transportation service pursuant to Section 311 of the Natural Gas 
Policy Act (NGPA). Williams makes such request, under its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Williams is proposing to use a delivery facility that 
was installed in Mitchell County, Kansas, for purposes other than 
Section 311 transport. It is stated that the subject facilities were 
constructed to enable Williams to perform NGPA Section 311 
transportation to Western Resources, Inc. (WRI) for use by Plum Creek 
Farms (Plum Creek). The Section 311 facilities consist of a 2-inch tap, 
metering, regulating and appurtenant facilities. Williams states that 
it commenced gas delivery to WRI for Plum Creek on December 14, 1995. 
Williams states that the volumes of gas that will be delivered to WRI 
for Plum Creek, after approval of the request herein, will not exceed 
WRI's existing entitlements.
    Williams declares that such a change in facility use is not 
prohibited by its existing tariff, and that Williams has sufficient 
capacity to accomplish the delivery specified without detriment or 
disadvantage to its other customers. It is stated that WRI reimbursed 
Williams the $4,451 construction cost of the subject facilities.
    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 a notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protests 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
