Notice of Filing

June 7, 2001.

Take notice that on May 31, 2001,

Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.

(Williams) tendered for filing a

proposed refund plan for the

distribution of Kansas ad valorem taxes

pursuant to the Commission’s October

11, 2000, Order Approving Settlement,

and the December 13, 2000, Order

Granting Clarification. Williams states

that since it does not have sufficient

information at a working interest owner

level to determine the ad valorem taxes

and related interest for each applicable

year of the refund period (1984 through

1988), it is proposing to calculate the

jurisdictional portion of the refunds

based on the jurisdictional percentage

for the entire period.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest this filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,

in accordance with sections 385.211 and

384.214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practices and Procedures. All such

motions and comments must be filed on

or before June 21, 2001. Protests will be

considered by the Commission in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken, but will not serve to make

protestants parties to the proceedings.

Any person wishing to become a party

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the

Commission and are available for public

inspection in the Public Reference

Room. This filing may also be viewed
