    Take notice that on October 22, 1997, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP98-45-000 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 South 
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

    Williston Basin states that it recently received a request from 
Montana-Dakota for authorization to add additional residential 
customers to an existing transmission line tap at Station 9059+59 on 
Williston Basin's Belle Fourche to Rapid City line, located in Section 
36, T5N, R5E, Meade County, South Dakota. The estimated additional 
volume to be delivered is 2,500 Dkt per year.
    Williston Basin states that this proposal will have no significant 
effect on its peak day or annual requirements, that the total volumes 
delivered will not exceed total volumes authorized prior to this 
request, 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
