Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline

Company; Notice of Request Under

Blanket Authorization

August 12, 1997.

Take notice that on August 7, 1997,

Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline

Company (Williston), 200 North Third

Street, Suite 300, Bismarck, ND 58501,

filed in Docket No. CP97–686–000 a

request pursuant to Sections 157.205

and 157.216(b) of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for

approval to abandon 4,280 feet of fourinch lateral pipeline located in Richland

County, MT, under Wiliston’s blanket

certificate issued in Docket No. CP82–

487–000 et al., pursuant to Section 7(c)

of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as

more fully set forth in the request which

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Williston asserts that the pipeline

proposed to be abandoned herein was

originally constructed in 1978 to allow

the receipt of gas from a supplier at the

Petrolane-Perry Gas Processing

Company Plant (Plant) and/or to deliver

natural gas to the supplier to be used as

field fuel. Williston further asserts that

the Plant was shut down in the early

1980’s and that Williston has not

received natural gas from the Plant since

1983 or made deliveries of natural gas

through this pipeline since 1993.

Williston thus proposes to purge this

pipeline and abandon it in place.

Any person or the Commission’s Staff

may, within 45 days of the issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214), a motion to

intervene 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 activities 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a protest is filed and not withdrawn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.
