[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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
