[Docket No. CP98-743-000]


Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.; Notice of Application for 
Abandonment

September 1, 1998.
    Take notice that on August 24, 1998 as supplemented on August 28, 
1998, Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc. (Williams), P.O. Box 3288, 
Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed in the above docket a request pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Sections 157.7(a) and 157.18 of 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Regulations for 
authorization to abandon the receipt of gas for transportation from 
Transtate Gas Service Company (Transtate), formerly Gulf Energy 
Gathering & Processing, and to reclaim measurement facilities located 
in Garvin County, Oklahoma, under the authorization issued in Docket 
No. CP82-479-000, all as more fully set forth in the request on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Williams states that the meter setting has been blinded for some 
time and that Transtate has been notified of the proposed reclaim of 
facilities.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before September 22, 1998, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
NE, Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in 
accordance with the requirements of the Commissions'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 proceedings. 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 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 or if the 
Commission on its own review of the matter, finds that a grant of the 
certificate for the proposal is required by the public convenience and 
necessity. If the Commission 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 Williams to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
