Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline

Company; Notice of Application

May 21, 1998.

Take notice that on May 13, 1998,

Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline

Company (Williston Basin), filed in

Docket No. CP98–544–000 a request

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural

Gas Act, for a certificate of public

convenience and necessity authorizing

it to construct a replacement of the

Yellowstone River pipeline crossing in

Dawson County, Montana, all as more

fully set forth in the application which

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Williston Basin requests authority to

construct a replacement of the

Yellowstone River pipeline crossing

located on its line section 5, between

the Cabin Creek compressor plant and

the Morgan Creek compressor plant, in

Dawson County, Montana. Williston

Basin states that the crossing will be

constructed under the Yellowstone

River through a directional bore and

will consist of approximately 1,931 feet

of 16-inch pipeline, and that

approximately 50 feet of 16-inch

pipeline will be trenched in at both the

bore entry and exist locations to connect

the crossing to Williston Basin’s existing

line section 5. Williston Basin states

that the installation of the new pipeline

crossing will allow it to maintain the

original capacity, integrity, operational

flexibility, and reliability of line section

5 on Williston Basin’s pipeline system.

Williston Basin estimates the cost to

replace the Yellowstone River pipeline

crossing to be $463,301.

Any person desiring to participate in

the hearing process or to make any

protest with reference to said

application should on or before June 11,

1998, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a

protest in accordance with the

requirements of the Commission’s Rules

of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations

under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR

157.10). All protests filed with the

Commission will be considered by it in

determining the appropriate action to

taken but will not serve to make the

protestants parties to the proceeding.

The Commission’s rules require that

protestors provide copies of their

protests to the party or parties directly

involved. Any person wishing to

become a party to a proceeding or to

participate as a party in any hearing

therein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

Rules.

A person obtaining intervenor status

will be placed on the service list

maintained by the Secretary of the

Commission and will receive copies of

all documents filed by the applicant and

by every one of the intervenors. An

intervenor can file for rehearing of any

Commission order and can petition for

court review of any such order.

However, an intervenor must submit

copies of comments or any other filing

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well as 14 copies with the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

however, in order to have comments

considered. A person, instead, may

submit two copies of comments to the

Secretary of the Commission.

Commenters will be placed on the

Commission’s environmental mailing

list, will receive copies of

environmental documents and will be

able to participate in meetings

associated with the Commission’s

environmental review process.

Commenters will not be required to

serve copies of filed documents on all

other parties. However, commenters

will not receive copies of all documents

filed by other parties or issued by the

Commission and will not have the right

to seek rehearing or appeal the

Commissions final order to a federal

court.

The Commission will consider all

comments and concerns equally,

whether filed by commenters or those

requesting intervenor status.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas

Act and the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, a hearing will

be held without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that a grant of the

certificate is required by the public

convenience and necessity. If a motion

for leave to intervene is timely filed, or

if the Commission on its own motion

believes that a formal hearing is

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Williston Basin to

appear or be represented at the hearing.

David P. Boergers,

Acting Secretary.
