[Docket No. CP97-745-000]


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

September 18, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 11, 1997, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP97-745-000 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 construct and operate new metering and associated 
appurtenant facilities in North Dakota, under Williston Basin's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-487-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    The proposed facilities will be used to provide delivery of 
transportation service gas to Bear Paw Energy, Inc. (Bear Paw). 
Williston Basin states that Bear Paw has requested installation of this 
metering facility to allow Williston Basin to make deliveries of up to 
714 Mcf per day to be used to fuel a field compressor. The facilities 
to be constructed at the proposed metering facility will consist of a 
meter, regulator and miscellaneous piping, gauges and values, all of 
which will be enclosed within a small pipe fence. The proposed metering 
facility will be constructed on existing pipeline right-of-way at the 
terminus of Williston Basin's 6-inch True Oil lateral line in Section 
26, T154N, R102W, Williams County, North Dakota. The estimated cost is 
$6,600 and 100% reimbursable by Bear Paw. The addition of the proposed 
facilities will have no significant effect on Williston Basin's peak 
day or annual requirements and the total volumes delivered will not 
exceed total volumes authorized prior to this request. Williston Basin 
also states that its existing tariff does not prohibit the addition of 
new delivery points and that there is sufficient capacity to accomplish 
deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers.
    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 Section 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.
