Under Blanket Authorization

April 1, 1998.
    Take notice that on March 23, 1998, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP98-296-000 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 the existing taps in Wyoming and Montana, 
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.
    Williston Basin states that it received a request from Montana-
Dakota Utilities Co. (Montana-Dakota) to add additional end-use 
customers to the Odorizer and Vine Taps. The Odorizer is located at 
Station 270+44 in Section 34, T56N, R98W, Park County, Wyoming, and the 
Vine Tap is at Station 5659+92 in Section 35, T25N, R49E, McCone 
County, Montana. Estimated additional volume to be delivered at the 
Odorizer Tap is 100 Dkt per year and 110 Dkt per year at the Vine Tap. 
Williston Basin states it will be using the existing taps to effectuate 
additional natural gas transportation deliveries to Montana-Dakota for 
other than right-of-way grantor use.
    Williston Basin states that the proposed action will have no 
significant effect on its peak day or annual requirements, that total 
volumes delivered will not exceed total volumes authorized prior to 
this request, that the 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 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

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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30

shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to 
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
