Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

March 12, 1997.
    Take notice that on February 27, 1997, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(WNG), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket No. CP97-
272-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 
157.216) for authorization to abandon certain lateral pipeline 
facilities, meters and associated equipment, all located in Washington 
County, Oklahoma, under WNG's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 
CP82-479-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more 
fully set forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    WNG proposes to abandon by sale to Western Resources, Inc. (WRI) 
approximately 2.4 miles of its 6-inch Dewey lateral pipeline, domestic 
meters, other equipment and related service. It is stated that the 
facilities were installed in 1974 at a cost of $271,571 and that the 
facilities have a salvage value of $10 and that the cost to reclaim 
them is $1,572. It is asserted that the customers served through these 
facilities have agreed to the abandonment and would continue to receive 
service from WRI. It is explained that the sale would enable WRI to 
expand its local distribution system. It is further asserted that WNG 
has sufficient capacity to render its services following the proposed 
abandonment without detriment or disadvantage to its other existing 
customers and that its tariff does not prohibit such a change.
    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 therefor, 
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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
