    Take notice that on January 17, 1997, as supplemented on January 
28, 1997, Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company (Williston

Docket No. CP97-198-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18

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

inspection.
    Williston Basin proposes to construct an additional one-inch tap at 
an existing tap site to effectuate natural gas transportation 
deliveries to Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. (Montana-Dakota) for 
ultimate use by additional residential customers. Williston Basin 
states that the existing tap and the additional one-inch tap will be 
manifolded together and used to serve Montana-Dakota, for ultimate use 
by the residents of the Mountain Shadow Estates mobile home park. 
Williston Basin estimates the current maximum daily quantity at the 
existing tap to be 200 Mcf per day. Williston Basin further estimates 
that after the additional one-inch tap is installed, the maximum daily 
delivery quantity will be 1,100 Mcf per day. Williston Basin states 
that the volumes to be delivered are within the contractual 
entitlements of the customer. In addition, Williston Basin estimates 
the cost of construction to be $1,000, of which will be fully 
reimbursed by Montana-Dakota.
    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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
