[Docket No. CP01-21-000]


Ozark Gas Transmission, L.L.C. and Arkansas Western Pipeline, 
L.L.C.; Notice of Application

November 3, 2000.
    Take notice that on October 27, 2000, Ozark Gas Transmission, 
L.L.C. (Ozark), 104 Central Park One, 525 Central Park Drive, Oklahoma 
City, Oklahoma 73105, and Arkansas Western Pipeline, L.L.C. (AWP), 104 
Central Park One, 525 Central Park Drive, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 
73105, filed a joint application pursuant to Sections 7(c) and 7(b) of 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for issuance of a certificate of public 
convenience and necessity to Ozark to acquire facilities currently 
owned and operated by AWP and for an order granting AWP permission and 
approval to abandon its facilities and services by transfer to Ozark, 
all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with 
the Commission and open for public inspection. This filing may also be 
viewed on the Internet at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 
202/208-2222 for assistance).
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
counsel for Ozark and AWP, James F. Bowe, Jr., Dewey Ballantine LLP, at 
(202) 429-1444, fax (202) 429-1579, or [email protected].
    Any person desiring to be heard or making any protest with 
reference to said petition should on or before November 24, 2000, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or 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 protestants parties to the proceeding. 
The Commission's rules require that protestors provide copies of their 
protests to the party or person to whom the protests are directed. 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. Comments and protests may be 
filed electronically via the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site 
at http://www.ferc.fed.us/cfi/doorbell.htm.
    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, comments 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 NGA 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 
petition 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 exemption 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 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 AWP or Ozark to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
