Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.; Notice of Filing of Penalty 
Revenue Report

October 1, 2002.
    Take notice that on April 30, 2002, Williams Gas Pipelines Central, 
Inc. (Williams) tendered for filing a report of the amount of penalty 
revenue collected by Williams pursuant to the provisions of Article 9.6 
of the General Terms and Conditions of its FERC Gas Tariff during 
Periods of Daily Balancing (PODB) occurring in the 1995-96 and 1996-97 
winter heating seasons, and the proposed distribution of such penalty 
revenues.
    Williams states that as a result of severe weather conditions and 
resulting high demand for gas in its major market areas, Williams 
imposed two PODBs pursuant to Article 9.4 of its tariff during the 
1995-96 winter heating season and three PODBs during the 1996-97 winter 
heating season as further described in its report. Penalties were 
imposed for overruns of MDTQ and MDWQ, depletion of gas in storage, 
under receipts at receipt points and over deliveries at delivery points 
as provided in Article 9.6 of Williams' tariff. As a result, Williams 
has collected $869,052 in penalty revenues. Williams proposes to refund 
these penalty revenues plus accrued interest ($396,119 through April 
30, 2002) to non-offending parties as shown herein.
    Williams states that a copy of its filing was served on all 
jurisdictional customers and interested state commissions.

file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in
