Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline

Company; Notice of Application

May 10, 2001.

Take notice that on April 30, 2001,

Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline

Company (Williston Basin), P.O. Box

5601, Bismarck, North Dakota 58506–

5601, filed an Abbreviated Application

pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural

Gas Act (NGA), as amended, and

Sections 157.7 and 157.18 of the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission’s (the

Commission) Regulations for an order

authorizing the abandonment of

gathering facilities and related land

rights and services located in Phillips

and Valley Counties, Montana by sale to

Bitter Creek Pipelines, LLC (Bitter

Creek). Facilities include:

approximately 363.689 miles of 2 to 12

inch diameter gas gathering pipeline;

three compressor stations; and 278 field

meter stations in Bowdoin Field. Land

rights and services include: pipeline

gathering easements; Bureau of Land

Management, highway, railroad and

other permits; and various gathering

service agreements. Bitter Creek has

informed Williston Basin that it will

operate the gathering facilities to be

acquired on an open access basis.

Williston Basin also seeks a

determination that following

abandonment of the subject facilities,

and upon their transfer to Bitter Creek,

the subject facilities will be

nonjurisdictional gathering facilities

and not subject to regulation by the

Commission as provided in NGA

Section 1(b), all as more fully set forth

in the application which is on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection. The filing may be viewed at

http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm

(call 202–208–2222 for assistance).

Questions regarding the details of this

proposal should be directed to Keith A.

Tiggelaar, Manager, Regulatory Affairs,

Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline

Company, Post Office Box 5601,

Bismarck, North Dakota, 58506–5601,

call 701–530–1560.

There are two ways to become

involved in the Commission’s review of

this project. First, any person wishing to

obtain legal status by becoming a party

to the proceedings for this project

should, on or before May 31, 2001, file

with the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,

Washington, DC 20426, a motion to

intervene in accordance with the

requirements of the Commission’s Rules

of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.211 or 385.214) and the Regulations

under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A

person obtaining party 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 all other

parties. A party must submit 14 copies

of filings made with the Commission

and must mail a copy to the applicant

and to every other party in the

proceeding. Only parties to the

27090 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 95 / Wednesday, May 16, 2001 / Notices

proceedings can ask for court review of

Commission orders in the proceeding.

However, a person does not have to

intervene in order to have comments

considered. The second way to

participate is by filing with the

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as

possible, an original and two copies of

comments in determining the

appropriate action to be taken, but the

filing of a comment alone will not serve

to make the filer a party to the

proceeding. The Commission’s rules

require that persons filing comments in

opposition to the project provide copies

of their protests only to the party or

parties directly involved in the protest.

Comments, interventions and protests

may be filed electronically via the

Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR

385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions

on the Commission’s web site at

http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/doorbell.htm.

If the Commission decides to set the

application for a formal hearing before

an Administrative Law Judge, the

Commission will issue another notice

describing that process. At the end of

the Commission’s review process, a

final Commission order approving or

denying a certificate will be issued.

Secretary.
