[Docket No. CP96-776-000]


Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

September 17, 1996.
    Take notice that on September 9, 1996, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(WNG), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket No. CP96-
776-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act 
for authorization to construct and operate about 9.5 miles of 20-inch 
pipeline loop extension in Labette and Montgomery Counties, Kansas and 
about 3.2 miles of 20-inch pipeline loop extension in Christian County, 
Missouri, and the rolled-in rate treatment of these facilities, all as 
more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    WNG proposes to extend the existing Southern Trunk by constructing 
the above facilities in order to provide additional reliability of all 
customers east of Saginaw compressor station and to continue to 
maintain reliable and consistent service. It is estimated by WNG that 
the cost would be $6.1 million to be paid from available funds.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before October 8, 1996, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC, 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 is 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 WNG to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
