Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Application

February 24, 1997.

Take notice that on February 13, 1997,

Williams Natural Gas Company (WNG),

P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101

filed in Docket No. CP97–244–000, an

application pursuant to Section 7(b) of

the Natural Gas Act for an order

granting permission and approval to

abandon by reclamation a 4,250

horsepower skid-mounted compressor

and appurtenant facilities at the Perry

Compressor Station located in Noble

County, Oklahoma, all as more fully set

forth in the application which is on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Specifically, WNG seeks authority to

abandon by reclaim the Perry turbine.

WNG states that it will retain the station

site since other facilities, which also

will occupy the site, will remain in

operation. WNG asserts that the cost of

the proposed abandonment is $150,420

with an estimated salvage value of

$1,309,303.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before March

17, 1997, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

D.C. 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

taken but will not serve to make the

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.

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 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 permission and

approval for the proposed abandonment

are 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 WNG to appear or be

represented at the hearing.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.
