Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline,
Inc.; Notice of Application and
Establishing Intervention Deadline
Take notice that on May 22,2023,
Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.
(Southern Star) 4700 State Route 56,
Owensboro, KY 42301, filed an
application under to section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and part 157 of
the Regulations of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission requesting
authorization for its Abandonment by
Sale of Kansas Domestic Meters Project.
The Project consists of abandon by sale
to Kansas Gas Service, a Division of
ONE Gas, Inc. (KGS) some 1,042
domestic meters in the State of Kansas.
This project is part of Southern Star’s
ongoing effort to eliminate ownership
and operation of domestic meters
associated with farm taps on its system.
Abandonment of these domestic meters
by sale to a qualified local distribution
company in Kansas will enable
Southern Star to more effectively
manage its system, reduce operating
costs, and minimize potential liability,
while ensuring that the landowners
behind these domestic meters will not
only continue to receive safe and
reliable service, but receive such service
from an entity whose primary business
is the local distribution of natural gas.
Southern Star estimates the total cost of
the Project to be $1,976,966, all as more
fully set forth in the application which
is on file with the Commission and open
for public inspection.
