[Docket No. CP98-36-000]


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

October 23, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 17, 1997, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP98-36-000 a request 
pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) for 
authorization to construct and operate new metering and associated 
appurtenant facilities in Big Horn County, Wyoming, for use in 
providing delivery of transportation service to KCS Mountain Resources, 
Inc. (KCS), under Williston Basin's blanket certificate issued in 
Docket Nos. CP82-487-000, et al., 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.
    Williston Basin states that KCS has requested the installation of 
metering facilities to allow Williston Basin to make deliveries of up 
to 7,500 Mcf per day to KCS to be used at its gas processing plant and 
for KCS to provide gas service to a local distribution company.
    Williston Basin states that the facilities to be constructed will 
consist of a new four-inch meter run, meter, SCADA communication 
equipment and miscellaneous piping, gauges and valves, all of which 
will be installed within the existing buildings or within the existing 
fenced metering station. Williston Basin estimates the cost of the 
proposed metering facilities to be $59,000, and that the actual cost of 
the facilities is 100% reimbursable by KCS.
    Williston Basin states that in addition to the facilities mentioned 
above, Williston Basin will be installing approximately 12 feet of 
additional six-inch piping to connect its system at the intersection of 
its 10-inch Manderson Lateral and its 12-inch Worland-Cabin Creek 
Yellow Line to effectuate the delivery of gas to KCS. Williston Basin 
states that this construction will occur entirely on existing pipeline 
right-of-way within a concrete-enclosed underground valve box and no 
ground disturbance will occur. Williston Basin proposes to complete and 
report such construction under Section 157.208(a) of the Commission's 
Regulations.
    Williston Basin states that it will provide natural gas 
transportation deliveries to KCS under Rate Schedules FT-1 and/or IT-1 
of Williston Basin's FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, and 
that Williston Basin's FERC Gas tariff does not prohibit the addition 
of new delivery points. Williston Basin also states that the addition 
of the proposed facilities will have no significant effect on its peak 
day or annual requirements and capacity has been determined to exist on 
the Williston Basin system to serve this natural gas market. Williston

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.

Secretary.
