Certificate Filings

January 5, 1995.
    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company

[Docket No. CP95-137-000]

    Take notice that on December 28, 1994, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed request with the Commission in 
Docket No. CP95-370-000 pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.216(b) of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for 
authorization to abandon a town border station under the blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-487-000, all as more fully set 
forth in the request on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Williston Basin proposes to abandon the Ward Road Town Border 
Station (Ward Station), located in Burleigh County, North Dakota, which 
has provided service to Montana-Dakota Utilities Company (Montana-
Dakota). Williston Basin states that Montana-Dakota because of an 
existing station, Missouri River Border Station and the North Bismarck 
Border Station possess sufficient capacity to provide reliable service 
to Montana-Dakota and therefore propose to abandon Ward Station, which 
would consist of a 14'  x  16' building, regulators, valves and station 
piping. The fence enclosing the facilities and a mainline valve setting 
would remain at the site for emergency use. Williston Basin further 
states that the abandonment of this border station will not affect 
Williston Basin's peak day or annual transportation to Montana-Dakota.
    Comment date: February 21, 1995, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.

    Take notice that on December 30, 1994, Columbia Gas Transmission 
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, S.E., Charleston, West 
Virginia 25314-1599, filed in Docket No. CP95-141-000, an application

Transportation Service.
