Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

September 19, 1996.
    Take notice that on September 12, 1996, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP96-783-000, a 
request pursuant to Secs. 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 metering and appurtenant 
facilities in Slope County, North Dakota, to be used as a back-up fuel 
source to Bear Paw Energy, Inc. (Bear Paw). Williston Basin makes such 
request, pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more 
fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    Specifically, Williston Basin proposes to construct and operate a 
meter, valves, and piping, within a receipt point metering station that 
was authorized under Section 2.55(d) of the Commission's Regulations, 
to allow Williston Basin to make deliveries of up to 2,000 equivalent 
Dt of natural gas per day to Bear Paw, for Bear Paw's use as a back-up 
or emergency source of fuel for its field compression facilities. 
Williston Basin indicates that it will transport the volumes to Bear 
Paw, under the applicable provisions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Second 
Revised Volume No. 1.
    It is stated that the addition of the proposed facilities will have 
no significant effect on Williston Basin's peak day or annual 
requirements, and that the volumes to be delivered are within the 
certificated entitlements of the customer. The project is estimated to 
cost approximately $23,000 and Williston Basin states that Bear Paw 
will reimburse Williston Basin for said project cost.
    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 Sec. 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
