Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP99-4-000]

 
Williams Gas Pipelines Central, Inc.; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

October 9, 1998.
    Take notice that on October 2, 1998, Williams Gas Pipelines 
Central, Inc. (Williams), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed 
in Docket No. CP99-4-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 
157.212, and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212, 157.216) for authorization to replace 
the meter setting and appurtenant facilities serving Kansas Gas Service 
Company, a division of ONEOK, Inc. (Kansas Gas) at the Ritchie Asphalt 
town border, located in Sedgwick County, Kansas, under Williams' 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-479-000, pursuant to 
Section 7(c) 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.
    Williams proposes to abandon by reclaim a single run meter setting 
and appurtenant facilities at the Ritchie Asphalt town border and 
replace them with a dual 4-inch meter setting and appurtenant 
facilities at the same location in the Southeast Quarter of Section 29, 
Township 26 South, Range 2 East, Sedgwick County, Kansas. Williams 
states that the setting was originally installed as an additional town 
border delivery to Kansas Gas in 1983.
    Williams declares that the existing meter setting is operating at 
the high end of its capacity causing it to fail frequently and causing 
increased system loss. Williams asserts that replacing the meter 
setting will enable them to provide efficient, reliable service in this 
area, which is also forecast for continued growth. Williams states that 
the project cost is estimated to be approximately $65,000, which will 
be paid by Williams.
    Williams states that this change is not prohibited by an existing 
tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish the deliveries 
specified without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers.
    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.
