[Docket No. GP00-1-000]


Williams Energy Marketing & Trading Co.; Notice of Petition for 
Declaratory Order

March 17, 2000.
    Take notice that on March 14, 2000 William Energy Marketing & 
Trading Company (Williams) tendered for filing a petition for a 
declaratory order to remove uncertainty regarding the applicability of 
the Commission's ``buy/sell'' policy to offshore production area 
transactions. Specifically, Williams requests a declaratory order 
confirming that the buy/sell policy does not apply to Outer Continental 
Shelf production-area arrangements like those contemplated by Royalty-
In-Kind pilot projects recently initiated by the U.S. Department of 
Interior's Minerals Management Service.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 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 on or 
before April 15, 2000. 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 the web at 
http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for
