[Docket No. CP03-320-000]


ONEOK WesTex Transmission, L.P.; Notice of Petition of Oneok 
Westex Transmission, L.P. To Amend Blanket Certificate and for Rate 
Approval Under Section 284.123(b)(2) of the Commission's Regulations 
and Requests for Waiver and Expedited Consideration

June 19, 2003.
    Take notice that on June 16, 2003, ONEOK WesTex Transmission, L.P. 
(WesTex), a Hinshaw pipeline, filed a petition under section 7(c) of 
the Natural Gas Act and section 284.224(b) of the Commission's 
regulations, to amend its blanket certificate to include service over 
the Palo Duro pipeline system in the State of Texas, and a 
determination that the existing rate applicable to service over the 
Palo Duro pipeline system is fair and equitable under section 
284.123(b)(2) of the Commission's regulations.
    WesTex states that it seeks expedited consideration of its Petition 
and any waivers of the Commission's regulations necessary to grant its 
Petition, in order to insure continuity of service to current shippers 
of Enogex Inc. and prevent the unnecessary shut-in of gas supplies. 
WestTex explains that expedited consideration of this Petition is 
necessary given that the existing operator of the Palo Duro system, 
Enogex, Inc. only recently gave notice that it is terminating the lease 
of the facilities effective July 1, 2003, and thus will no longer 
operate the facilities after that date.
    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 on or 
before the intervention and protest date as indicated below. 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. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link. 
Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket 
number field to access the document. For assistance, please contact 
FERC Online Support at [email protected] or toll-free at (866) 
208-3676, or TTY, contact (202) 502-8659. The Commission strongly 
encourages electronic filings. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    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 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 petition to intervene is filed within the time required herein, 
if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that the 
certificate is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a 
petition for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission 
on its own motion believes that an oral 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 
Applicant to appear or be represented at hearing.
    Comment Date: July 7, 2003.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
