On November 13, 2000, ONEOK

Midstream Pipeline, Inc. (ONEOK

Midstream) and Oktex Pipeline

Company (Oktex), both at 100 West

Fifth Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103 and

referred to together as Applicants,

jointly filed in Docket No. CP01–30–000

and application pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and the

Commission’s Rules and Regulations for

permission to permit ONEOK

Midstream to abandon all of its facilities

by sale to Oktex and for Oktex to

acquire the facilities from ONEOK

Midstream, all as more fully set forth in

the application which is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection. The filing may be viewed at

http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm

(call 202–208–2222 for assistance).

Applicants indicate that ONEOK

Midstream will be merged into Oktex,

an interstate affiliate. Applicants

propose that ONEOK Midstream be

permitted to abandon by sale to Oktex

all of its facilities and for Oktex to

acquire those facilities. It is stated that

the facilities include 27 miles of 16-inch

pipeline in Garfield County, Oklahoma

which extend from the tailgate of the

Rodman Plant to interconnections with

Williams Pipeline Central, Inc., ONEOK

Gas Transportation, LLC, Transok, LLC

and Reliant Interstate Gas Transmission

Company. Applicants indicate that

Oktex has agreed to assume all service

obligations and operational and

economic responsibilities for the subject

facilities, and will adopt the firm and

interruptible transportation rates of

ONEOK Midstream for service along the

Rodman line. In addition, it is indicated

that Oktex will operate the facilities as

part of its interstate system.

Questions regarding the details of this

proposed project should be directed to

C. Burnett Dunn of Gable & Gotwals, at

(918)–595–4816.

There are two ways to become

involved in the Commission’s review of

this project. First, any person wishing to

obtain legal status by becoming a party

to the proceedings for this project

should, on or before November 27, 2000,

file with the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, NE,

Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to

intervene 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A

person obtaining party status will be

placed on the service list maintained by

the Secretary of the Commission and

will receive copies of all documents

filed by the applicant and by all other

parties. A party must submit 14 copies

of filings made with the Commission

and must mail a copy to the applicant

and to every other party in the

proceeding. Only parties to the

proceeding can ask for court review of

Commission orders in the proceeding.

However, a person does not have to

intervene in order to have comments

considered. The second way to

participate is by filing with the

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as

possible, an original and two copies of

comments in support of or in opposition

to this project. The Commission will

consider these comments in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken, but the filing of a comment alone

will not serve to make the filer a party

to the proceeding. The Commission’s

rules require that persons filing

comments in opposition to the project

provide copies of their protests only to

the party or parties directly involved in

the protest. Also, non-party commenters

will not receive copies of all documents

filed by other parties or issued by the

Commission and will not have the right

to seek court review of the

Commission’s final order.

Comments and protests may be filed

electronically via the internet in lieu of

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.

If the Commission decides to set the

application for a formal hearing before

an Administrative Law Judge, the

Commission will issue another notice

describing that process. At the end of

the Commission’s review process, a

final Commission order approving or

denying a certificate will be issued.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,

Acting Secretary.
