[Docket No. CP02-36-000]


Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of 
Application

December 13, 2001.
    Take notice that on November 30, 2001, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), P.O. Box 5601, Bismarck, North 
Dakota 58506-5601, filed in Docket No. CP02-36-000 an Abbreviated 
Application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and 
Sections 157.7 and 157.18 of the Commission's Regulations for an order 
authorizing Williston Basin to abandon the transportation of natural 
gas volumes for Shell Western E&P, Inc. (Shell) pursuant to Rate 
Schedule T-5 and authorizing Williston Basin to abandon Rate Schedule 
T-5 of its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1 (Tariff), in 
its entirety, all as more fully set forth in the application which is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The 
application may be viewed on the web at www.ferc.fed.us/online/
rims.htm. Call (202) 208-2222 for assistance.
    Williston Basin states that the Rate Schedule T-5 Service Agreement 
with Shell expires by the terms of the agreement on December 1, 2001 
and no service has been provided to Shell pursuant to this Service 
Agreement since March 1998. Williston Basin also states that pursuant 
to Docket No. CP85-534-000, Rate Schedule T-5 was available only to six 
specific producers. Williston Basin has previously filed for and 
received authorization, pursuant to Section 7(b) of the NGA, to abandon 
service to the other five specific producers. With the termination of 
the Service Agreement with Shell on December 1, 2001, service under 
Rate Schedule T-5 will no longer be available to any party and 
Williston Basin has no further need for Rate Schedule T-5.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 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 385.214 or 385.211) and the 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All such motions 
to intervene or protests should be filed on or before January 3, 2002. 
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.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
