[Federal Register Volume 63, Number 27 (Tuesday, February 10, 1998)] [Notices] [Page 6740] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 98-3240] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket No. CP98-208-000] Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization February 4, 1998. Take notice that on January 28, 1998, Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP98-208-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for permission and approval to abandon a 3-inch meter run and appurtenant facilities located at the Recluse Station in Campbell County, Wyoming. Williston Basin makes such request under its 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 on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Williston Basin is seeking authority to abandon the above ground 3- inch meter run and appurtenant facilities, which include a 5 x 7 foot skid-mounted building, orifice meter and miscellaneous gauges, station piping and valves, which Williston Basin avers are not used or useful. In 1981, Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. installed the 3-inch meter run and appurtenant facilities at the Recluse Station to deliver gas to a gas pipeline company. Williston Basin was authorized to acquire and operate those facilities pursuant to the Commission's Order issued in Docket Nos. CP82-487-000, et al. It is stated that the abandonment of the proposed facilities, all of which are located on Williston Basin's existing right-of-way, will not affect Williston Basin's peak day or annual transportation, because there will be no abandonment of service to its existing customers, since service will continue to be provided through existing facilities at the site. 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. David P. Boergers, Acting Secretary. [FR Doc. 98-3240 Filed 2-9-98; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-M
