[Docket No. CP98-244-000]


Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

February 26, 1998.
    Take notice that on February 19, 1998, Williams Gas Pipelines 
Central, Inc. (Williams), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed 
in Docket No. CP98-244-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 
157.208, 157.212, and 157.216, of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.208, 157.212, 157.216) for 
authorization (1) to replace and relocate the Kansas Gas Service 
Company, a Division of ONEOK, Inc. (Kansas Gas), Whispering Hills town 
border meter setting and appurtenant facilities and (2) to abandon by 
reclaim the Kansas Gas Monticello West town border meter setting and 
appurtenant facilities and transfer the volume associated with 
Monticello West to the new Whispering Hills town border meter setting, 
all in Johnson County, Kansas under the 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.
    Williams connected the storage line serving Whispering Hills to the 
Bonner Springs 10-inch pipeline pursuant to the notice filed in Docket 
No. CP97-608-000. However, the proposed line to connect the Monticello 
West town border was not constructed.
    Williams will connect the proposed new town border setting to both 
the Bonner Springs 10-inch line and the Craig storage field 20-inch 
line. The new town border setting will initially be served from the 10-
inch Bonner Springs line since the 20-inch Craig storage line is being 
used to complete withdrawal of gas from the Craig storage field. 
Williams cannot begin withdrawing gas from the north end of the storage 
field until the proposed abandonment and replacement of the town border 
settings has been completed. After the storage field is depleted, the 
Bonner Springs 10-inch line will be conveyed to Kansas Gas as 
contemplated in the Craig storage field abandonment filing, and the new 
Whispering Hills town border setting will be served from the Craig 20-
inch line which Williams will retain.
    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 Sec. 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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
