[Docket No. CP09-14-000]


Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation; Notice of Application

November 13, 2008.
    Take notice that on October 28, 2008, Whiting Oil and Gas 
Corporation (Whiting), 1700 Broadway, Suite 2300, Denver, CO 80290, 
filed with the Commission an Application for Limited Jurisdiction 
Certificate and Request for Waivers of Regulatory Requirements pursuant 
to sections 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part 157 of the 
Commission's regulations. Whiting seeks a limited jurisdiction 
certificate authorizing Whiting to transport natural gas it owns though 
the Robinson Lake Residue Line, a 17 mile 6-inch pipeline in Mountrail 
County, North Dakota; and a waiver of certain regulatory requirements, 
all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Rick 
A. Ross, Vice President, Operations, Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation, 
1700 Broadway, Suite 2300, Denver, CO 80290, phone (303) 837-4236, e-
mail [email protected].
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: 
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule 
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other 
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of 
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this 
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for 
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of 
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the 
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this application. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to this proceeding should file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.10) by the 
comment date, below. A person obtaining party status will be placed on 
the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will 
receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other 
parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the 
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other 
party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for 
court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the

[[Page 69626]]

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two 
copies of comments in support of or in opposition to the project. The 
Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate 
action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to 
make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules 
require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link. Persons unable 
to file electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the 
protest or intervention to the Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 
888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription'' 
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail

Secretary.
