Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Filing of Penalty Revenue 
Report

February 25, 1997.
    Take notice that on February 18, 1997, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(WNG) tendered for filing a report of the amount of penalty revenue 
collected by WNG pursuant to the provisions of Article 9.5 of the 
General Terms and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff during Periods of 
Daily Balancing (PODB) occurring in January and February, 1996, and the 
proposed distribution of such revenue.
    WNG states that as a result of severe weather conditions and 
resulting high demand for gas in its major market areas, WNG imposed 
two PODBs pursuant to Article 9.3 of its tariff during the 1995-96 
winter heating season. These periods were January 19 and 20, 1996 and 
January 31 through February 4, 1996. Penalties were imposed for 
overruns of MDTQ and MDWQ, depletion of gas in storage, under receipts 
at receipt points and over deliveries at delivery points as provided in 
Article 9.5 of WNG's tariff. As a result, WNG has collected $3,169,881 
in penalty revenues through November 30, 1996. WNG proposes to refund 
these penalty revenues plus accrued interest ($90,398 through November 
30, 1996) to non-offending parties as shown herein.
    WNG states that a copy of its filing was served on all 
jurisdictional customers and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's 
Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed on or 
before March 4, 1997. Protests will be considered by the Commission in 
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to 
make protestants parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to 
become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing 
are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection 
in the Public Reference Room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
