[Docket No. CP98-280-000]


Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc., Notice of Application

April 24, 1998.
    Take notice that on March 12, 1998, Williams Gas Pipelines Central, 
Inc. (Williams) P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma, 74101, filed in Docket 
No. CP98-280-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for an order permitting and approving the 
abandonment of Craig Storage Field (Craig Field), facilities and 
related storage service, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Williams seeks authorization to abandon the Craig 
field located in Johnson County, Kansas; to plug 60 injection/
withdrawal wells; 7 observation wells; and to abandon in place or by 
sale to Kansas Gas Service Company, A Division of ONEOK, Inc., 
approximately 12.76 miles of various diameter gathering lines and other 
appurtenant facilities.
    Any person desiring to participate in the hearing process or to 
make any protest with reference to said application should on or before 
May 15, 1998, 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. 
The Commission's rules require that protestors provide copies of their 
protests to the party or person to whom the protests are directed. 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.
    A person obtaining intervenor status will be placed on the service 
list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive 
copies of all documents issued by the Commission, filed by the 
applicant, or intervenors. An intervenor can file for rehearing of any 
Commission order and can petition for court review of any such order. 
However, an intervenor must submit copies of comments or any other 
filing it makes with the Commission to every other intervenor in the 
proceeding, as well as filing an original and 14 copies with the 
Commission.
    A person does not have to intervene, however, in order to have 
comments considered. A person, instead, may submit two copies of such 
comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Commenters will be placed 
on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents and will be able to participate in meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on 
all other parties. However, 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 rehearing or appeal the Commission's final 
order to a Federal court.
    The Commission will consider all comments and concerns equally, 
whether filed by commenters or those requesting intervenor status.
    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

[[Page 23769]]

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 Williams to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.
Acting Secretary.
