Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

May 16, 1996.
    Take notice that on May 10, 1996, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(WNG), P.O. Box 2400, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74102, filed in Docket No. CP96-
516-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, and 157.216(b) of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, and 
157.216) for approval to abandon in place approximately 4,166 feet of 
the Superior eight-inch loop pipeline located in Jewell County, Kansas, 
under the blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000, 
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as more 
fully set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    WNG states that it is proposing to abandon the eight-inch pipeline 
where the pipeline crosses White Rock Creek, a tributary to Lovewell 
Reservoir, located in Jewell County, Kansas. WNG further states that in 
1955, it installed a ten-inch pipeline which paralleled the eight-inch 
pipeline could either be operated as a single line or both the eight-
inch line or ten-inch line pipeline could be operated simultaneously. 
It is further asserted that the parallel ten-inch line has sufficient 
capacity to continue to provide service without detriment or 
disadvantage to any WNG customer. WNG indicates that the reclaim cost 
of the line is estimated to be $1,200 with a salvage value of $0.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.214), a motion to intervene 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 protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 
the proposed activities 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and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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.
