    Take notice that on November 23, 1998, Williams Gas Pipelines 
Central, Inc. (Williams), P.O. Box 3288, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74101, filed 
in Docket No. CP99-89-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.216) for authorization to abandon in place by sale to 
Texaco Exploration and Production, Inc. (Texaco), approximately 7.4 
miles of the Lindsay 16-inch pipeline (Line VOA), related service and 
facilities located in Garvin County, Oklahoma, 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 in place by sale to Texaco 
approximately 7.4 miles of the Lindsay 16-inch lateral pipeline, 
consisting of 8-inch, 10-inch, and 16-inch pipeline, and equipment 
related to or used in connection with the operation of the pipeline,

Oklahoma, and extending to Section 5, Township 4 North, Range 2 West, 
Garvin County, Oklahoma.

    Williams states that the Lindsay 16-inch pipeline was constructed 
to attach gas supplies in the Golden Trend area of central Oklahoma for 
further transmission on Williams' general system. Williams declares 
that in addition to providing a new source of major supplies of natural 
gas for Williams' system, the facilities enabled them to maintain gas 
inputs on the Blackwell-Oklahoma City portion of its system. Williams 
asserts it has determined that the Lindsay 16-inch pipeline is no 
longer required by Williams and will serve a more useful purpose as a 
part of the Texaco pipeline system. With the abandonment proposed 
herein, Williams declares that Texaco will own and operate the entire 
Lindsay 16-inch lateral pipeline.
    Williams states that the sales price of the line is $450,000 and 
associated reclaim costs are $45,241.
    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 therefore, 
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.

Secretary.
