DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP99-71-000]


ONG Transmission Company and ONEOK Gas Transportation, L.L.C.; 
Notice of Application

November 20, 1998.
    Take notice that on November 12, 1998, ONG Transmission Company 
(ONG) and ONEOK Gas Transportation, L.L.C. (OGT), 100 West Fifth 
Street, P.O. Box 22089, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74121, filed in Docket No. 
CP99-71-000 a joint application pursuant to Sections 7(b) and 7(c) of 
the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval for ONG to abandon to 
certain services and receipt points and for OGT to acquire 
authorization to perform the abandoned services, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    ONG and OGT state that; (1) ONG would abandon and transfer to OGT, 
its limited jurisdiction certificate authorizing the transportation of 
gas for Coastal States Gas Transmission Company (Coastal) as authorized 
in 1987 and transferred to ONG in 1991, (2) OGT would acquire the 
subject authorization and perform the transportation services 
previously performed by ONG, (3) OGT would abandon certain receipt 
points as no gas has been received through such points in years, and 
(4) OGT would abandon such service upon the expiration of the 
applicable contract September 30, 1999.
    Any person desiring to be heard or any person desiring to make any 
protest with reference to said application should on or before December 
11, 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 considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be 
taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties to the 
proceeding. The Commission's rules require that protestors provide 
copies of their protests to the party or parties directly involved. 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.
    A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service 
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive 
copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by every one of the 
intervenors. An Intervenor can file for rehearing of any Commission 
order and can petition for court review of any such order. However, an 
intervenor must submit copies of comments or any other filing it makes 
with the Commission to every other intervenor in the proceeding, as 
well as 14 copies with the Commission.
    A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
comments considered, a person, instead, may submit two copies of 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents and will be able to participate in meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, commenters will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission and will 
not have the right to seek rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a federal court.
    The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally

whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
    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 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 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 ONG and OGT to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
