[Docket No. AD03-13-000]


Application of the Primary Function Test for Gathering on the 
Outer Continental Shelf; Notice for Extension of Time to File Comments

August 27, 2003.
    On August 14, 2003, a notice was issued stating that on September 
23, 2003, the Commission would convene a public conference to explore 
criteria for distinguishing gathering facilities from transmission 
facilities in shallow waters of the Outer Continental Shelf. The notice 
requested that comments in response to the notice be submitted to the 
Commission by September 3, 2003. On August 22, 2003, the Williams 
Companies, Inc. (Williams), submitted a request--supported by the 
Interstate Natural Gas Association of America, the Natural Gas Supply 
Association, Duke Energy Field Services, the KeySpan Delivery 
Companies, and BP Energy Company--for an extension of time to file 
comments in response to the notice of the conference.
    Williams requests additional time because the period to prepare 
comments coincides with holidays. In view of the support favoring 
Williams' request, the time to submit comments will be extended by a 
week, from September 3 to September 10, 2003.
    Although the date for comments is changed, the date for notifying 
the Commission of an intention to participate in the conference remains 
the same. Therefore, persons interested in speaking or making a 
presentation at the conference must indicate their interest no later 
than September 3, 2003; comments addressing the questions specified in 
the August 14 notice must be filed by September 10, 2003. There is no 
need to provide advance notice to the Commission simply to attend the 
conference.
    A subsequent notice will provide further details on the conference, 
including the agenda and a list of participants, as plans evolve. For 
additional information, please contact Gordon Wagner, Office of General
