[Docket No. CP97-175-000]
Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of Request
Under Blanket Authorization
January 9, 1997.
Take notice that on December 30, 1996, Williston Basin Interstate
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Bismark,
North Dakota 58501 filed in Docket No. CP97-175-000 a request pursuant
to Sections 157.205, and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under
the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for approval and
permission to abandon a farm tap located in Dawson County, Montana,
under the blanket certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP82-487-000, et
al., pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as more
fully set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and
open to public inspection.
Williston Basin asserts that Montana-Dakota Utilities Company
(Montana-Dakota), a local distribution company, has extended its
distribution system to serve the load previously served through the tap
which Williston now proposes to abandon. Williston Basin also asserts
that removal of the tap will eliminate the possibility of ice damage to
the tap's riser from the flooding of a nearby river.
Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (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 activities 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 30 days after the time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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
