Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of Compliance 
Filing

March 28, 1997.
    Take notice that on March 25, 1997, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), tendered for filing to become part 
of its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1 and First Revised 
Volume No. 1-A, revised tariff sheets, with a proposed effective date 
of March 25, 1997.
    Williston Basin states that the instant filing includes revised 
tariff sheets to reflect changes in shared operating personnel and 
facilities as a result of Prairielands Energy Marketing, Inc., 
(Prairielands) which had been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Centennial 
Energy Holdings, Inc., the parent of Williston Basin, becoming a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of Williston Basin as of January 1, 1997. In 
addition, Williston Basin states that Prairielands has been designated 
as an agent by Williston Basin to manage and develop Williston Basin's 
gas production reserves and appurtenant facilities.
    Williston Basin also states that the revised tariff sheets reflect 
that on January 1, 1997, WBI Gas Services Co. (WBI-Gas), Williston 
Basin's merchant sales division, was renamed WBI Production (WBI-Prod).
    In addition, Williston Basin states that it has revised Sheet No. 
188 of its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1 to reflect the 
deletion of the Baker District Office in Baker, Montana from the list 
of locations which have possible shared personnel occupying office 
space in the same building as Williston Basin personnel.
    Williston Basin states that it will continue to comply with the 
Standards of Conduct for Interstate Pipelines with Marketing Affiliates 
as established under Order No. 566, et seq., and in Section 161.3 of 
the Commission's Regulations. In accordance with Section 161.3(g) of 
the Commission's Regulations, Williston Basin's operating employees and 
the operating employees of Prairielands will function independently of 
one another to the maximum extent practicable.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal
