[Docket No. CP97-7-000]


Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

October 7, 1996.
    Take notice that on October 2, 1996, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(Williams), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, OK 74101, filed in Docket No. CP97-7-
000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for 
authorization to construct and operate two new compressor stations, one 
located in Logan County, Colorado and the other located in Carbon 
County, Wyoming, all as more fully set forth in the application which 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Williams states that the proposed compressor stations would be 
3,950 horsepower each and would increase the capacity of the Rawlins-
Hesston line by 30,000 Dth/d.
    Williams states further that the estimated cost of construction 
would be approximately $9.3 million and that Williams proposes a 
rolled-in rate treatment for the facilities.
    Any person desiring to be heard or any person desiring to make any 
protest with reference to said application should on or before October 
28, 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 Williams to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
