of the storage leasehold interests previously authorized; (2)

converted to pressure relief well operation, to the storage system; 
and, (3) installing and operating measurement and appurtenant 
facilities, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The application 
may be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (Call (202) 
208-2222 for assistance).
    Any questions regarding the application may be directed to David N. 
Roberts, Manager of Tariffs and Regulatory Analysis, P.O. Box 20008, 
Owensboro, Kentucky 42304, (270) 688-6712.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before May 4, 2000, 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 Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (18 CFR 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 proceeding. Any 
person wishing to become a party to the 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 intervener status will be placed on the service 
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive 
copies of all documents issued by the Commission, filed by the 
applicant, or filed by all other interveners. An intervener can file 
for rehearing of any Commission order and can petition for court review 
of any such order. However, an intervener must serve copies of comments 
or any other filing it makes with the Commission to every other 
intervener in the proceeding, as well as filing an original and 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 such 
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 comments or those requesting 
intervener 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, as 
amended, and the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a 
hearing will be held without further notice before the Commission 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 a grant of the requested authorization is required by the 
public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is 
timely filed, or if the Commission on its own 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 to be represented at 
the hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
