Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, Bismarck, 
North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP97-660-000 a request pursuant 
to Sections 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 
utilize an existing tap to effectuate natural gas transportation 
deliveries to Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. (Montana-Dakota), for 
ultimate use by additional residential customers in Roosevelt County, 
Montana. Williston Basin makes such request under its blanket 
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 
request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Williston Basin states that it received a request from Montana-
Dakota, a local distribution company, for authorization to add 
additional residential customers to an existing transmission line tap 
located in Roosevelt County, Montana. The estimated additional volume 
to be delivered is 220 Mcf per year. Williston Basin is proposing to 
use the existing residential farm tap to effectuate additional natural 
gas transportation deliveries to Montana-Dakota for other than right-
of-way grantor use. Williston Basin indicates that the volumes to be 
delivered are within the contractual entitlements of the customer, and 
that the proposed volumes will be provided under Williston Basins Rate 
Schedule FT-1.
    It is averred that the proposed service will have no significant 
effect on Williston Basin's peak day or annual requirements.
    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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.

Acting Secretary.
