[Docket No. CP97-639-000]


Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of 
Application

July 29, 1997.
    Take notice that on July 15, 1997, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP97-639-000, an 
application for a certificate of public convenience and necessity, 
pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Regulations, 
requesting authority to change capacities at certain receipt and 
delivery points, all as more fully set forth in the application on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Williston Basin seeks authorization to increase or 
decrease capacities at certain receipt and delivery points listed on 
Williston Basin's Master Receipt/Delivery Point List which was filed as 
part of this FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1 in Docket 
Nos. RS92-13-000, et al. The Master Receipt/Delivery Point List 
specifies the maximum daily capacity for each of Williston Basin's 
delivery and receipt points. Williston Basin states that the proposed 
changes are the result of a reevaluation of the assumptions used for: 
meter inlet pressures; filtering device differential pressures; 
regulator selection; regulation inlet pressures; and maximum and 
minimum allowable distribution pressures. Williston Basin states that 
there will be no costs associated with the restatement of the maximum 
receipt and/or delivery capacities.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before August 19, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E. 
Washington, D.C. 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 
Nature 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 a grant of the certificate is 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.
