Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline

Company; Notice of Request Under

Blanket Authorization

October 3, 1997.

Take notice that on September 29,

1997, Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline

Company (Williston Basin), 200 North

Third Street, Suite 300, Bismarck, North

Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP97–

782–000 a request pursuant to

§§ 157.205, 157.211 and 157.216 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.211 and 157.216) for authorization

to upgrade four existing meter stations

in Montana and South Dakota by

abandoning certain existing facilities

and constructing and operating

upgraded facilities resulting from

Electronic Custody Transfer (ECT)

measurement conversion, under

Williston Basin’s blanket certificate

issued in Docket No. CP82–487–000

pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas

Act, all as more fully set forth in the

request that is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Williston Basin states that the existing

meter stations involved are the Wolf

Point in Roosevelt county and the

Glasgow in Valley county, Montana, and

the Lead in Lawrence county and the

Sturgis in Meade county, South Dakota.

Williston Basin states that the existing

orifice meters at these stations will not

facilitate ECT measurement and must be

replaced and will result in reducing

operation and maintenance costs.

Williston Basin will also replace a

regulator at the Glasgow station since

the existing regulator doesn’t provide

control over intermediate pressure and

is inappropriately sized. The capacity of

all four meter stations will decrease as

a result of these replacements.

Williston Basin states that it provides

natural gas transportation deliveries

through these meter stations to

Montana-Dakota Utilities Co., a local

distribution company. The total project

cost is approximately $45,000. Williston

Basin states that the facilities to be

upgraded are located entirely on

existing right-of-way and that all of the

proposed work will be done within an

existing building at the meter station

sites.

Williston Basin states that this

proposal is not prohibited by its existing

tariff, that there is sufficient capacity to

accomplish deliveries without

detriment or disadvantage to other

customers, that its peak day and annual

deliveries will not be effected and that

the total volumes delivered will not

exceed the total volumes authorized

prior to this request.

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

§ 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.

Secretary.
