[Docket No. CP96-170-000]


Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of 
Application

February 9, 1996.
    Take notice that on February 5, 1996, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), Suite 300, 200 North Third Street, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP96-170-000 an 
application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for 
permission and approval to abandon a compressor in Stark County, North 
Dakota, all as more fully set forth in the application on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Williston Basin proposes to abandon compressor No. 6 and related 
facilities in Stark County, North Dakota, since it is no longer needed. 
It is stated that there would be no impact on Williston Basin's current 
operations.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before March 1, 1996, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 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 be 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 Williston Basin to appear or be represented 
at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
