Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc; Notice of Application

January 30, 2004.
    Take notice that on January 23, 2004, Southern Star Central Gas 
Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star), 3800 Frederica Street, Owensboro, 
Kentucky 42301, filed in Docket No. CP04-57-000 an application pursuant 
to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for permission and 
approval to abandon the Carter-Waters 4-inch pipeline XS-6 and 
appurtenant facilities and one domestic tap in Platte County, Missouri, 
all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Southern Star states the pipeline was constructed in 1950 to 
provide gas service to The Carter-Waters Corporation (Buildex), a 
quarry operation near New Market, Missouri, for use in its haydite 
plant. Souther Star further states that the Buildex measurement 
facilities were relocated in 1999 to the nearby Dearborn 6-inch 
pipeline XS-7 in order to locate them outside of the quarry area, and 
the Carter-Waters pipeline is no longer needed to provide the gas 
service for which it was originally constructed. Southern Star states 
that it proposes to abandon the pipeline in place where the land 
restoration to original condition will be difficult to obtain and to 
reclaim those sections where the land can be backfilled and seeded to 
restore to original condition and all aboveground auxiliary facilities 
such as meters, piping, regulators and fencing will be reclaimed. 
Southern Star states that those domestic customers who do not

have a tap clause on another pipeline will be converted at Southern 
Star's sole expense to propane gas service.
