OkTex Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

April 21, 2000.
    Take notice that on April 14, 2000, OkTex Pipeline Company (OkTex), 
100 West Fifth Street, P.O. Box 871, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74102, filed an 
application in Docket No. CP00-183-000 pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act seeking a certificate of public convenience and 
necessity to acquire certain pipeline facilities being abandoned by 
Kinder Morgan Interstate Gas Transmission, LLC (``KMIGT''), all as more 
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    OkTex states that the facilities it is acquiring from KMIGT consist 
of 52.5 miles of 20-inch pipeline located in Hemphill County, Texas, 
and Roger Mills, Custer and Dewey Counties, Oklahoma. It is explained 
that the facilities comprise the eastern portion of the Buffalo Wallow 
system and that OkTex intends to operate the facilities as part of its 
interstate pipeline system. OkTex states that the purchase price of the 
facilities is $700,000. In a

companion filing, Docket No. CP00-174-000, KMIGT has requested 
permission to abandon facilities by sale to OkTex.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protests with 
reference to said application should on or before May 12, 2000, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements of 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 
385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). 
All protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in 
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to 
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to 
become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a party in any 
hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in accordance with the 
Commission's Rules. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal 
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 OkTex to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
