Warren Transportation, Inc.; Notice of Application

March 12, 1997.
    Take notice that on March 7, 1997, Warren Transportation, Inc. 
(WTI), 1000 Louisiana, Suite 5800, Houston, Texas 77002, filed an 
application pursuant to Sections 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, and Part 
157, Subpart A and F, and Part 284, Subpart G, of the Commission's 
Regulations for certificates of public convenience and necessity, all 
as more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    WTI requests that the Commission authorize: (1) the acquisition of 
27 miles of 16'' diameter interstate pipeline (known as the ``Rodman 
(Enid) 16-inch Pipeline''), located Alfalfa, Major and Garfield 
Counties, Oklahoma, from Williams Natural Gas Company (Williams); (2) 
jurisdictional transportation rates; (3) self-implementing interstate 
transportation of natural gas under a Part 284, Subpart G blanket 
transportation certificate; and (4) self-implementing ``routine 
activities'' under a Part 157, Subpart F blanket certificate.

[[Page 12826]]

    WTI states it is holding a 30 day non-discriminatory ``open 
season'' to assure that each and every potential shipper of residue gas 
at the Rodman plant is apprised of this acquisition from Williams and 
upcoming open access operation of the Rodman (Enid) 16-inch pipeline. 
This form of public notice announces this open season process, which 
commences on the date of its issuance.
    WTI states it does not expect oversubscription from this open 
season, but would allocate firm capacity, in the event of 
oversubscription, based on the net present value procedure common for 
interstate pipeline open seasons. Specifically, subscriptions for firm 
capacity will be required to state both the transportation rate the 
shipper is willing to pay (up to the maximum reservation rate as stated 
in Exhibit P to the application) and the term of service sought. WTI 
states there should that be any oversubscription, WTI will then rank 
all prospective firm shippers in order of the highest net present value 
to WTI; that is, the bid price and term of each subscription will be 
multiplied to give the total projected revenues per unit of capacity, 
which in turn will be discounted to the present under standard DCF 
methodology.
    Any prospective shipper interested in subscribing for service 
should contact the following WTI representative for a subscription 
form: Timothy P. Balaski, Warren Transportation, Inc., 1000 Louisiana, 
Suite 5800, Houston, Texas 77002, (713) 507-6523 (telephone), (713) 
507-6515 (telefax).
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 27, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426, 
a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements 
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 
385.214) 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 in any proceeding herein 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 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 permission and 
approval for the proposed abandonment are 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 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 WTI to appear or to be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
