[Docket No. CP97-244-000]


Williams Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

February 24, 1997.
    Take notice that on February 13, 1997, Williams Natural Gas Company 
(WNG), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101 filed in Docket No. CP97-
244-000, an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act 
for an order granting permission and approval to abandon by reclamation 
a 4,250 horsepower skid-mounted compressor and appurtenant facilities 
at the Perry Compressor Station located in Noble County, Oklahoma, all 
as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, WNG seeks authority to abandon by reclaim the Perry 
turbine. WNG states that it will retain the station site since other 
facilities, which also will occupy the site, will remain in operation. 
WNG asserts that the cost of the proposed abandonment is $150,420 with 
an estimated salvage value of $1,309,303.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 17, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 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 Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 
required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave 
to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion 
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such 
hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for WNG to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
