Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

November 7, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 30, 1997, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP98-56-000 a request 
pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for 
authorization to construct and operate new metering and associated 
appurtenant facilities for use in providing delivery of transportation 
service gas to Bear Paw Operating Company, Inc. (Bear Paw), 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 facilities to be constructed at the 
proposed metering facility will consist of a building, an orifice 
meter, SCADA communication equipment and miscellaneous piping, gauges 
and valves, all of which will be constructed on existing right-of-way 
at the Baker Compressor Plant in Section 12, T7N, R59E, Fallon County, 
Montana. Williston Basin states that Bear Paw has requested 
installation of this metering facility to allow Williston Basin to make 
deliveries of up to 4,800 Mcf per day to Bear Paw to be used as 
emergency fuel at the Big Horn plant. The estimated cost of the 
proposed metering facilities is $11,400. The actual cost of the 
facility is 100% reimbursable by Bear Paw.
    Williston Basin states that the addition of the proposed facilities 
will have no significant effect on its peak day or annual requirements, 
that the total volumes delivered will not exceed total volumes 
authorized prior to this request, that the existing tariff does not 
prohibit the addition of new delivery points and that there is 
sufficient capacity to accomplish deliveries without detriment or 
disadvantage to other customers.
    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

the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be 
treated as an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of
