investigator, Arthur P. Fraas has 22

years experience in converting coal to

gaseous and liquid fuels. For the past

three years he has focused intensely on

complex-mode vibration-fluidized beds.

The proposed project is not eligible for

financial assistance under a recent,

current or planned solicitation because

the funding program, the Energy Related

Invention Program (ERIP), has been

structured since its beginning in 1975 to

operate without competitive

solicitations because the authorizing

legislation directs ERIP to provide

support for worthy ideas submitted by

the public. The program has never

issued and has no plans to issue a

competitive solicitation. This award

will be made 14 calendar days after

publication to allow for public

comment.

Williams Natural Gas Co.; Notice of

Application

April 13, 1995.

Take notice that on April 11, 1995,

Williams Natural Gas Company (WNG),

Post Office Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma

74101, filed an application pursuant to

Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for

an order permitting the abandonment of

approximately 25.8 miles of 26-inch

pipeline and appurtenant facilities

located in Texas County, Oklahoma, by

conveyance to Williams Gas

Processing—Mid-Continent Region

Company (WGP–MCR), all as more fully

set forth in the application which is on

file with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

WNG will convey approximately 25.8

miles of its 26-inch Straight to

Blackwell pipeline and appurtenant

facilities. WNG states that Williams

Field Services Company (WFS), an

affiliate of WGP–MCR, has begun

construction of a processing plant, the

Baker Plant, adjacent to WNG’s 26-inch

Straight to Blackwell pipeline at a

location approximately one mile east of

the Interconnection between the LiberalBaker sub-system and WNG’s 26-inch

Straight to Blackwell line and

approximately 25.8 miles east of the

Straight compressor station. WNG states

that the plant will process gas from both

the Straight sub-system and the LiberalBaker sub-system. WNG asserts that

after the construction of the WFS

processing plant, WNG’s 26-inch

Straight to Blackwell pipeline will

function as the final segment of

gathering facilities, delivering gas from

both the Straight sub-system and the

Liberal-Baker sub-system as well as gas

from third-party gathering systems to

the new processing plant.

WNG notes that the Commission

issued a Preliminary Determination on

Abandonment Application and on

Jurisdictional Status of Facilities in

Docket No. CP94–196–000 and held that

it would not make a determination that

a similar pipeline located upstream of

the Hobart Ranch Plant was gathering

until the plant was operational. WNG

states that it waited to file this

application until construction began on

the Baker Plant, to avoid those concerns.

WNG claims that the Baker Plant is

scheduled to be operating by November

1, 1995 pursuant to requirements in the

construction contract. WNG requests

that the Commission process this

abandonment application but it does not

request an order until the Baker Plant is

operating.

WNG states that the total original cost

of the pipeline was approximately

$713,771, with a depreciated net book

value of approximately $21,077 as of

January 31, 1995. WNG proposes to

convey the subject pipeline to WGP–

MCR effective on the last day of the

calendar month following the calendar

month in which the Commission issues

a final order, acceptable to WNG and

WGP–MCR, approving the

abandonment.

WNG does not believe that a separate

Section 4 filing seeking authority to

terminate services on this line segment

is required. WNG states that this line

segment which will be transferred to

WGP–MCR is currently part of the

Production Area portion of WNG’s

transmission system and, upon

abandonment, will become part of

WGP–MCR’s gathering facilities.

Therefore, WNG states that the line

segment will be subject to the Section 4

filing WNG is required to make in

Docket No. CP94–196–000.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make a protest with reference to said

application should, on or before May 3,

1995, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 825 North

Capitol Street, N.E., 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 be taken, but will

not serve to make the protestants parties

to the proceeding. 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.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

by Section 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas

Act and Commission’s Rules of Practice

and Procedure, a hearing will be held

without further notice before the
