[Docket No. CP98–561–000]

Williams Gas Pipelines Central; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

May 26, 1998.

Take notice that on May 19, 1998,

Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.

(Williams), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa,

Oklahoma 74101, filed in Docket No.

CP98–561–000 a request pursuant to

Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.216) for authorization to abandon in

place by sale to Missouri Public Service,

a division of Utilicorp United, Inc.

(MPS), approximately 5.8 miles of the

12-inch Sedalia lateral pipeline located

in Pettis County, Missouri, under

Williams’ blanket certificate issued in

Docket No. CP82–479–000, pursuant to

Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as

more fully set forth in the request that

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Specifically, Williams seeks

authorization to abandon in place by

sale to MPS approximately 5.8 miles of

the Sedalia 12-inch lateral pipeline

(Line XT) located in Pettis County,

Missouri, including without limitation,

all gas lines, meters, records and other

equipment, personal property, and

fixtures located thereon and/or used in

conjunction with the operation of the

pipeline. Williams states that the 12-

inch Sedalia line was originally

installed in 1931 and certificated in

Docket No. G–298. Williams states that

MPS will incorporate the 12-inch

pipeline segment into its existing

distribution system after it has received

authorization from the Missouri Public

Service Commission to own and operate

the line.

Williams states that it filed in Docket

No. CP96–762–000 for authorization to

replace the MPS Sedalia town border

setting and relocate it to the site of

Williams’ main line gate in Pettis

County, Missouri. Williams states that

the relocation of Sedalia town border

setting from the end of the subject

pipeline to Williams’ main line makes it

possible for it to sell this lateral

pipeline.

Williams states that Missouri Gas

Energy (MGE) currently serves eleven

domestic customers through the Sedalia

12-inch pipeline and that Williams has

one right-of-way obligation. Williams

states that there has been no gas

delivery to its customer in eleven

months, but if, and when, gas delivery

resumes, MPS will provide the service.

Williams states that in addition to the

Williams obligation, MPS will provide

service to those domestic customers set

out in the Assignment and Bill of Sale

between Williams and MPS after

abandonment approval is received.

Williams states the sales price of the

pipeline facilities to be $144,681.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within the time allowed therefor,

the proposed activity shall be deemed to

be authorized effective the day after the

time allowed for filing a protest. If a

protest is filed and not withdrawn

within 30 days after the time allowed

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,

Acting Secretary.
