DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory

WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.; Notice 

of Request Under Blanket 

Authorization and Establishing

Take notice that on February 7, 2024, 

WBI Energy Transmission, Inc. (WBI

the above referenced docket, a prior 

notice request pursuant to sections 

157.206 and 157.216(b) of the 

Commission’s regulations under the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA), and WBI 

Energy’s blanket certificate issued in 

Docket No. CP82–487–000, for 

authorization to disconnect and 

abandon by sale a 1,478 ratedhorsepower (hp) compressor unit (Unit 

7) at its Landeck Compressor Station. 

All of the above facilities are located in 

Campbell County, Wyoming (Landeck 

Unit 7 Abandonment). The project will 

allow WBI Energy to minimize the need 

for future operating and maintenance 

expenditures by abandoning the Unit as 

there is no operational need and WBI 

states that it is able to meet its firm 

contractual commitments without the 

use of its Landeck Compressor Station, 

all as more fully set forth in the request 

which is on file with the Commission 

and open to public inspection.
