Western Gas Interstate Company; Notice of Request for Waiver

May 14, 1999.
    Take notice that on May 7, 1999, Western Gas Interstate Company 
(WGI), 211 North Colorado, Midland, Texas 79701, tendered for filing a 
petition for waiver of the electronic communication and Internet 
transaction requirement of the Commission's Order Nos. 587, et seq. WGI 
states that it is a small company located in a discrete geographic area 
with only five customers, and that the cost of compliance is 
prohibitive. Further, WGI states that all gas on its system is 
delivered to end users and municipal distribution systems, and that no 
gas is delivered for further transportation to any interstate or 
intrastate pipeline. According, to WGI, its customers have never 
released capacity or used its existing electronic bulletin board, and 
make their nominations directly to other pipelines that control all 
system interconnects.
    WGI states that copies of its filing have been mailed to all of its 
jurisdictional customers and to affected state regulatory commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 
Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants 
parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must 
file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room. This filing may be viewed on web at http://
