Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.; Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

March 7, 2002.
    Take notice that on March 1, 2002, Williams Gas Pipelines Central, 
Inc. (Williams) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Original Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed in Appendix A to the 
filing, to become effective April 1, 2002.
    Williams states that the revised tariff sheets are being filed to 
allow Williams to transition from a monthly allocation pipeline to a 
daily allocation pipeline. These changes coincide with the way the 
natural gas industry typically conducts its business as well as the 
capabilities Williams now has in measuring gas flow and providing 
accurate real time measurement to its point operators and shippers. 
Various meetings have been held with Williams' customers and state 
commissions to discuss the provisions of this change to a daily 
allocation system. Although the tariff sheets are proposed to go into 
effect April 1, 2002, as part of the discussions, Williams agreed to 
accept the maximum suspension period for the proposed tariff changes. 
This will allow Williams' customers and point operators more time to 
become accustomed to the new processes and allow for implementation, 
after the maximum suspension period, effective as of September 1, 2002.
    Williams states that copies of the revised tariff sheets are being 
mailed to Williams' jurisdictional customers and interested state 
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. This filing may 
also be viewed on the web at http://
