Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Application

March 24, 2004.
    Take notice that on March 18, 2004, Southern Star Central Gas 
Pipeline, Inc. (Southern Star), 3800 Frederica Street, Owensboro, 
Kentucky 42301, filed in Docket No. CP04-85-000 an application pursuant 
to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for permission and 
approval to abandon compression facilities located in Kiowa County, 
Kansas.
    Southern Star states that it proposes to abandon seven 1600 
horsepower engines, appurtenant facilities and auxiliary equipment at 
the Greensburg compressor station in Kiowa County, Kansas. Southern 
Star states that the Greensburg station was constructed in 1951 and 
used to compress gas on the Kansas-Hugoton 26-inch pipeline to Kansas 
City, Missouri. Southern Star states that the engines are now obsolete 
and no longer needed since the compression currently available at the 
Hugoton compressor station in Grant County, Kansas, is more than 
sufficient to move current contractual volume obligations as well as 
any anticipated future volumes. Southern Star proposes to abandon 
above-ground facilities by reclaim with the exception of wells, well 
houses and a microwave tower. Southern Star further states that below-
ground piping will be abandoned in place. Southern Star asserts that 
the station site is and will continue to be owned and maintained by 
Southern Star.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to David 
N. Roberts, Manager, Regulatory Affairs, at (270) 852-4654.
    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 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
