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/

WGP states that the pipeline facilities

at issue consist of portions of the North

Padre Island Gathering System (North

Padre) and the Central Texas Gathering

System (Central Texas). Specifically,

WGP states that the North Padre

facilities consist of 3.83 miles of 10-inch

pipeline that begins in North Padre

Island (NPI) Block 967 and ends at NPI

Block 956 and 18.79 miles of 20-inch

pipeline that begins in East Addition

Block A–42 and ends at NPI Block 956,

offshore Texas. WGP states that the

Central Texas facilities consist of 4.96

miles of 6-inch pipeline, 4.19 miles of

8-inch pipeline, 3.77 miles of 10-inch

pipeline, 64.79 miles of 12-inch

pipeline, 11.56 miles of 16-inch

pipeline, 116.48 miles of 20-inch

pipeline, 23.42 miles of 24-inch

pipeline, and 41.15 miles of 30-inch

pipeline in the Brazos Area Block 538,

offshore Texas.

Under a Transfer and Assignment

Agreement entered into by WGP and

Transco, WGP indicates that it will

provide gathering services in a manner

consistent with open access and nondiscriminatory principles. WGP advises

that no customers presently receive

direct sales service from the subject

facilities pursuant to right-of-way

agreements or other sales agreements,

therefore, no direct sales service will be

terminated as a result of the transfer.

WGP states that the primary function

of the facilities is gathering, consistent

with the criteria set forth in Farmland

Industries, Inc. (23 FERC ¶ 61,063

(1983)), as modified in subsequent

orders, and in Sea Robin Pipeline Co.

(87 FERC ¶ 61,384 (1999), reh’g denied,

92 FERC ¶ 61,072 (2000)).

WGP advises that this petition is a

companion to Transco’s concurrently

filed application in Docket No. CP01–

34–000 to abandon the subject facilities

by transfer to WGP.

Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to Steve

Springer, Senior Vice President, at (713)

Coast Company, L.P., Houston, Texas

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 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 WGP to appear or be

represented at the hearing.
