[Docket No. CP98-624-000]


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

June 26, 1998.
    Take notice that on June 19, 1998, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), Suite 300, 200 North Third Street, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed a prior notice request with the 
Commission in Docket No. CP98-624-000 pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for 
authorization to construct and operate two master meter stations and 
appurtenant facilities in Yellowstone County, Montana, under Williston 
Basin's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-487-000, et al., 
pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the 
request which is open to the public for inspection.
    Williston Basin proposes to construct and operate two new master 
meter stations and appurtenant facilities to provide natural gas 
service to Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. (Montana-Dakota). Williston 
Basin states that it would install two master meter stations at its 
current 48th Street West farm tap site. Williston Basin also states 
that one meter station would be known as the Danford master meter 
station, which would consist of a 2-inch tap on the Elk Basin-Billings 
mainline and approximately 400 feet of 3-inch diameter lateral pipeline 
from the proposed Danford master meter station to the new tap. 
Williston Basin further states that it would construct and operate a 
rotary meter, regulators, and miscellaneous piping, gauges, and valves 
at the 48th Street West farm tap site. Williston Basin estimates that 
it would construct the proposed master meter stations facilities at a 
cost of $47,700 in order to deliver approximately 1,310 Mcf of natural 
gas per day via the proposed Danford master meter station and 595 Mcf 
of natural gas per day via the 48th Street West farm tap site master 
meter station to Montana-Dakota.
    Williston Basin states that it provides natural gas transportation 
service to Montana-Dakota pursuant to Rate Schedules FT-1 and/or IT-1 
of Williston Basin's FERC Gas Tariff. Williston Basin further states 
that the addition of the proposed master meter stations facilities is 
not prohibited by its FERC Gas Tariff and that addition of the 
facilities would not have any adverse impact on a daily or annual basis 
upon Williston Basin's existing customers.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If 
no protest is filed within the allowed time, 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 NGA.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
