Docket No. CP01-370-000


Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company and Frontier Gas 
Storage Company; Notice of Joint Application

May 29, 2001.
    Take notice that on May 18, 2001, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), P.O. Box 5601, Bismarck, North 
Dakota 58506-5601 and Frontier Gas Storage Company (Frontier), c/o Lord 
Securities Corporation, Two Wall Street, 19th Floor, New York, New York 
10005 filed a Joint Abbreviated Application pursuant to Section 7(b) of 
the Natural Gas Act and Sections 157.7 and 157.18 of the Commission's 
Regulations for an order permitting and approving the abandonment of 
certificates.
    Williston Basin and Frontier state that inasmuch as all gas 
previously owned by Frontier has been withdrawn from Williston Basin's 
storage fields as of April 3, 2001, and neither Williston Basin nor 
Frontier has any further need for the services provided by the other, 
Williston Basin and Frontier respectfully request abandonment of the 
certificates authorizing the services provided by Williston Basin 
pursuant to Rate Schedules X-9 and X-11 of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Original Volume No. 2 and by Frontier pursuant to its FERC Gas Tariff, 
Original Volume Nos. 1 and 2, including most specifically Rate Schedule 
LVS-1. Williston Basin and Frontier further state they are the only 
parties to the certificates of public convenience and necessity 
proposed to be abandoned.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before June 19, 2001, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 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) 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 Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Section 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 motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its review of the matter finds 
that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are required 
by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion 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.
    Comments, protests, and interventions may be filed electronically 
via the internet in lieu of paper. See, 18

represented at the hearing.
