Take notice that on August 16, 1999, ONEOK Gas Storage, L.L.C. and ONEOK Sayre Storage Company (Applicants), tendered for filing pursuant to Sec. 284.123(b)(2) of the Commission's regulations, a petition for rate approval requesting that the Commission approve as fair and equitable, market-based rates for interruptible storage services performed under section 311(a)(2) of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA). The rates for the individual storage services will be negotiated between Applicants and various shippers. Applicants do not propose to have established any maximum or minimum rate for any generic service. Applicants may also retain a percentage of the injected volumes as an allowance for compressor fuel and losses for storage of natural gas. Applicants' petition states that they are operated together as an intrastate natural gas pipeline company within the meaning of section 2(16) of the NGPA in the State of Oklahoma. Applicants own storage facilities in the State of Oklahoma, which are the subject of this petition and which are located in Creek, Kingfisher, Logan, Muskogee, Okmulgee, Osage and Beckham Counties, Oklahoma. Pursuant to Sec. 284.123(b)(2)(ii), if the Commission does not act within 150 days of the filing date, the market-based negotiated rates for interruptible storage services will be deemed to be fair and equitable and not in excess of an amount which interstate pipelines would be permitted to change for similar service. The Commission may, prior to the expiration of the 150-day period, extend the time for action or institute a proceeding to afford parties an opportunity for written comments and for the oral presentation of views, data and arguments. Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must file a motion to intervene with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426 in accordance with Secs. 385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's rules of practice and procedures.
