October 17, 1996.
    Take notice that on October 10, 1996, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(Applicant), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket No. 
CP97-23-000 a request pursuant to 157.205, 157.212 and 157.216 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization to 
(1) to relocate and reinstall the Glacier Petroleum Company, Inc. 
(Glacier) meter setting, and after relocation, (2) to abandon by sale 
to Glacier approximately 1.56 miles of the Thrall 3-inch lateral 
pipeline, all located in Greenwood County, Kansas, under blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000,\1\ all as more fully set

open for public inspection.

    \1\ See, 20 FERC para. 62,592 (1982).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Applicant proposes to reclaim the existing Glacier meter setting, 
originally installed in 1940 and replaced in 1986, from Section 28, 
Township 23 South, Range 10 East, and to reinstall it at the point 
where the 3-inch Thrall lateral pipeline branches off Applicant's 4-
inch line in Section 16, Township 23 South, Range 10 East. Relocating 
the meter setting to Applicant's mainline will make it possible to sell 
in place to Glacier approximately 1.56 miles of 3-inch pipeline 
downstream of the relocated meter. Applicant states the 3-inch Thrall 
line was originally installed in 1940 and certificated in Docket No. G-
298.
    Applicant states the cost to relocate the Glacier meter setting is 
estimated to be $4,743. Since the existing meter setting will be 
reinstalled, any meter setting reclaim costs are included in the cost 
of construction. There are no reclaim costs associated with the 
pipeline since it will be sold in place for $10. Applicant states that 
the projected volume of delivery is not expected to exceed the current 
delivered volume. Applicant states that this change is not prohibited 
by its existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to 
accommodate the service proposed herein without determent or 
disadvantage to its other customers.
    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 or 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 protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, 
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.
