    Take notice that on October 22, 1997, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300,

pursuant to Section 157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations 
under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for 
authorization to construct and operate new metering and associated 
appurtenant facilities to provide delivery of natural gas to 
Interenergy Corporation, under Williston Basin's blanket certificate

which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Williston Basin proposes to construct and operate metering and 
associated facilities within an existing meter station located in Big 
Horn County, Wyoming. Williston Basin further states that the proposed 
facility would consist of a meter, regulator and miscellaneous piping, 
gauges and valves, all of which would be enclosed within an existing 
steel link fence. Williston Basin also states that the proposed 
metering facility would be constructed on existing pipeline right-of-
way at the Manderson meter station in Big Horn County, Wyoming. It is 
further stated that Interenergy would reimburse Williston Basin for the 
cost of this project which is approximately $6,200.
    Williston Basin states that Interenergy requested the installation 
of these metering facilities to allow Williston Basin to deliver up to 
200 Mcf of natural gas per day Interenergy to use as fuel for 
compression and processing equipment in the area. Williston states that 
it would provide natural gas transportation deliveries to Interenergy 
under Rate Schedules FT-1 and/or IT-1. Williston further states that 
(i) the volumes delivered to Interenergy are within the contractual 
entitlements to; (ii) that establishing the addition of the proposed 
new delivery point is not prohibited by Williston Basin's existing 
tariff; and, (iii) that the addition of the proposed facilities would 
have no significant effect on Williston Basin's peak day or annual 
requirements and capacity has been determined to exist on the Williston 
Basin system to serve this natural gas market.

and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
