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

December 29, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 18, 1998, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to construct and operate a new 
metering facility for use in measuring natural gas deliveries to an 
LDC, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Williston Basin would install a new meter within the 
confines of an existing building at the Border Station in Big Horn 
County, Wyoming, to measure gas deliveries prior to such gas entering 
Montana-Dakota Utilities Company's (Montana-Dakota) distribution 
system. Montana-Dakota serves Phoenix Production (Phoenix) with natural 
gas to fuel Phoenix's oil treaters and separators in the Torchlight 
Field in Big Horn County. The new meter station would eliminate the 
possibility of unmeasured and unbilled gas losses through Montana-
Dakota's distribution line.
    The estimated cost for the installation of the meter proposed is 
$660.00. Williston Basin does not anticipate that the addition of the 
proposed facility would have any significant effect on its peak day or 
annual requirements and capacity. Williston Basin also states that the 
volumes to be delivered are within the contractual entitlements of the 
customer.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
