Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Co.; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

February 5, 1996.
    Take notice that on January 25, 1996, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP96-156-000, a 
request pursuant to Section 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for 
authorization to construct and operate a new metering station and the 
associated appurtenant facilities to effectuate transportation 
deliveries on its transmission system, to Prairielands Energy 
Marketing, Inc. (Prairielands), a marketer, for ultimate use by the 
American Prairie Foods Potato Plant in Stutsman County, North Dakota. 
Williston Basin makes such request, under its blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP82-487-000, et al. pursuant to Section 7 of the 
Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 

[[Page 4979]]
request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Williston Basin indicates that the new metering station and 
associated appurtenant facilities will include a SCADA communication 
system enclosed within a building, a meter, regulators, miscellaneous 
gauges and valves, and a steel building, all of which will be enclosed 
within security fence. The estimated cost to construct said facilities 
is $100,000, and it is stated that Prairielands will reimburse 
Williston Basin in full for the cost of the facilities.
    Williston Basin mentions that the estimated maximum volumes to be 
delivered are 4,000 Mcf per day, and that it will provide the service 
under its IT-1 Rate Schedule. Williston Basin states that the volumes 
that it is proposing herein to deliver, are within the contractual 
entitlements of the customer.
    It is averred that the addition of the proposed facilities will not 
have a significant effect on Williston Basin's peak day or annual 
requirements, and capacity has been determined to exist on the 
Williston Basin system to serve this natural gas market.
    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 therefor, 
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.
