[Docket No. CP98-808-000]


Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of 
Application

October 6, 1998.
    Take notice that on September 29, 1998, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP98-808-000 an 
application pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act for permission 
and approval to delete the Little Knife Plant receipt point and to add 
the Bitter Creek receipt point for Northern States Power Company 
(N.P.), all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Williston Basin proposes to delete the Little Knife Plant receipt 
point and add the Bitter Creek receipt point to the February 22, 1991 
Transportation Service Agreement between Williston Basin and N.P. 
Williston Basin states that the Transportation Service Agreement is a 
part of Rate Schedule X-13 contained in Williston Basin's FERC Gas 
Tariff, Original Volume No. 2. Williston Basin declares that N.P. has 
requested that the Little Knife Plant receipt point be deleted and the 
Bitter Creek receipt point be added as an authorized receipt point to 
its existing Transportation Service Agreement. Williston Basin asserts 
that no new facilities are proposed and no facilities are proposed to 
be abandoned.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said Application should on or before October 27, 1998, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in 
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 or 18 CFR 385.214) and the Regulations 
under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the 
Commission will be considered by it in determining the appropriate 
action to be taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties 
to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding 
or to participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion 
to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that pursuant to the authority contained in and 
subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Commission by Sections 7 
and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, a hearing will be held without further notice before the 
Commission or its designee on this Application if no petition to 
intervene is filed within the time required herein, if the Commission 
on its own review of the matter finds that a grant of the abandonment 
is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a petition for 
leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission, on its own 
motion believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of 
such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
