Commission

[Docket No. CP01–10–000]

Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.;

Notice of Application

October 19, 2000.

Take notice that on October 12, 2000,

Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.

(Williams), 3800 Frederica Street,

Owensboro, Kentucky 42301, filed in

Docket No. CP01–10–000 an application

pursuant to sections 7(c) and 7(b) of the

Natural Gas Act for permission and

approval for Williams to construct and

operate certain replacement natural gas

facilities and to abandon the facilities

being replaced due to the age and

condition of the facilities, located in

Anderson County and Franklin County,

Kansas, all as more fully set forth in the

application which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection. This filing may be viewed

on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/

online/rims.htm (call 202–208–2222 for

assistance).

Williams proposes to abandon by

removal seven 1,000 horsepower (HP)

Cooper Type 22 horizontal compressor

units and auxiliary equipment

supporting these compressors including

station piping at its Ottawa Compressor

Station, located in Franklin County,

Kansas. Williams also proposes to

construct and operate one 6,107 HP (ISO

Rated) Solar Centaur 50 turbine/

compressor package and supporting

appurtenant equipment at its Welda

Compressor Station located in Anderson

County, Kansas, in replacement of the

units proposed to be abandoned at its

Ottawa station.

Williams states that the seven

horizontal compressor units proposed

for replacement were originally

constructed in the late 1920’s and early

1930’s and were placed in service in the

1940’s pursuant to Williams’ (formerly

Cities Service Gas Company)

‘‘grandfather’’ certificate in Docket No.

G–298 (4 FPC 471). Williams declares

that it has experienced rising

maintenance costs associated with the

seven horizontal compressors at the

Ottawa station and it has become

increasingly difficult to obtain

replacement parts for these compressor

units due to their age.

Williams states that during the

withdrawal season, the Ottawa and

Welda compressor stations work in

tandem to pull gas from the North

Welda, South Welda, and Colony

storage fields (Welda storage complex).

Williams declares that gas withdrawals

from the Welda storage complex feed

into a common intake at the Welda

Compressor Station where the gas is

compressed and discharged into

Williams’ Welda-Ottawa 20-inch and

26-inch pipeline systems and

recompressed at the Ottawa station for

transport to markets north and east of

Ottawa.

Williams asserts that the certificated

MAOP of the Welda-Ottawa 20-inch

pipeline is 690 psig. Williams states that

during periods of peak withdrawal, they

have been unable to discharge from the

Welda station into the Ottawa-Welda

20-inch line at the certificated MAOP

for transport of gas toward the Ottawa

station.

Williams asserts that the efficiency

and reliability of the Welda and Ottawa

stations is critical for Williams to

continue to meet customer obligations.

Williams declares that the granting of

the proposal will gain operating

efficiency and reliability along this

segment of the Williams pipeline system

by reducing maintenance costs of

vintage compressors and by restoring

operating pressure capabilities at their

designed and approved pressure

capabilities.

Williams asserts that the estimated

cost for the proposed turbine and

auxiliary support facilities is $7,105,795

and the estimated cost associated with

the proposed abandonment is $179,305.

Williams states that the proposed age

and condition replacement and the

benefits it provides to existing

customers in overall reliability,

flexibility, and efficiency to the system,

qualifies for rolled-in rate treatment

under the Commission’s Statement of

Policy, 88 FERC Paragraph 61,227

(1999) as interpreted by the Commission

in Texas Gas Transmission Corporation,

90 FERC Paragraph 62,190 (2000).

Therefore, Williams requests all project

costs should be permitted rolled-in

treatment in William’s next rate case.

Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to David

N. Roberts, Manager, Certificates &

Tariffs, at (270) 688–6712, Williams Gas

Pipelines Central, Inc., P.O. Box 20008,

Owensboro, Kentucky 42301.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

Application should on or before

November 9, 2000, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, NW., 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 385.211 or 18 CFR

385.214) 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 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. Beginning November 1, 2000,

comments and protests may be filed

paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)

and the instructions on the

Commission’s web site at http://

www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.

Take further notice that pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

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

petition 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 abandonment is

required by the public convenience and

necessity. If a petition for leave to

intervene is timely filed, or if the

Commission, on it 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 Applicant to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

David P. Boergers,

Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Before Commissioners: James J.

Hoecker, Chairman; William L. Massey,

Linda Breathitt, and Curt He ́bert, Jr. Order Granting Requests for Extension

of Time for Implementing OASIS

Standards and Communications

Protocols Document, Version 1.4

Introduction

As discussed below, we will grant

requests from the OASIS How Working

Group (How Group) and American

Electric Power Service Corporation

(AEP) 1 for a time extension, until March

1, 2001, for compliance with the OASIS

Standards and Communications

Protocols Document, Version 1.4 (S&CP

Document) and for a twelve hour

transition period, on February 28, 2001,

during which requests for service made

by telephone or facsimile will be

accepted.

Background

On August 1, 2000, in Open Access

Same-time Information System and

Standards of Conduct, 65 Fed. Reg.

48,990, 92 FERC ¶ 61,146, FERC Stats.

& Regs. ¶ 31,106 (2000) (August 1

Order), the Commission adopted a

revised S&CP Document (Version 1.4)

with an effective date of January 8,

2001.2 The How Group and AEP each

request that an extension, until March 1,

2001, be granted for compliance with

the revised S&CP Document so that the

implementation date will not coincide

with the Winter Peak period.

Discussion

Both AEP and the How Group point

out that the January 8, 2001 effective

date coincides with the Winter Peak

period. They suggest a March 1, 2001

effective date that would avoid the

Winter Peak period and that would be

preferable for accounting reasons. AEP
