Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

January 8, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 31, 1997, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(WNG), P.O. box 3288, Tulsa Oklahoma 74101 filed in Docket No. CP98-
168-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, 
as amended, to abandon by sale, for subsequent reclaim and abandonment 
in place about 126.1 miles of pipeline and related facilities in 
Hemphill County Texas and Ellis, Woods and Woodward Countries, 
Oklahoma, all as more fully set forth in the application on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, WNG seeks authority to abandon by sale to CPI Pipe 
and Supply, Inc., to reclaim for salvage and to abandon in place, about 
126.1 miles of the Pampa 20-inch acetylene welded line. WNG estimates 
that the cost of abandonment will be about $246,550 and the sales price 
is $2,825,000.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before January 29, 1998, 
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 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be

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 WNG to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
