reclaim a 1,000 horsepower rental compressor unit and appurtenant 
facilities, all as more fully set forth in this request which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, WNG seeks authority to abandon by reclaim the 1,000 
horsepower skid-mounted Waukesha rental compressor unit and 
appurtenances originally installed in the Elk City storage field in 
Montgomery County, Kansas, to recapture migrating storage gas produced 
by gas wells outside the storage field. WNG estimates the cost to 
reclaim the facilities to be $45,575.

with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,

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

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
