WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

    Take notice that on May 5, 2014, WBI Energy Transmission, Inc. (WBI 
Energy Transmission), 1250 West Century Avenue, PO Box 5601, Bismarck, 
North Dakota 58506-5601, filed in Docket No. CP14-474-000, a prior 
notice request pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.208 of the 
Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, 
requesting authorization to establish a new Maximum Allowable Operating 
Pressure (MAOP) for three existing pipelines located in Washakie 
County, Wyoming. WBI Energy Transmission proposes to change the MAOP of 
the following pipelines: (i) 1,680 feet of eight-inch diameter pipeline 
from 242 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) to 1,000 psig; (ii) 1,856 
feet 12-inch diameter pipeline from 100 psig to 200 psig; and (iii) 
1,753 feet of 12-inch diameter pipeline from 800 psig to 300 psig. WBI 
Energy Transmission asserts that these changes are necessary in order 
to meet increased demand for additional pressure at the inlet of Devon 
Energy Production Company, LPS (Devon) Worland Plant. WBI Energy 
Transmission estimates that there are no costs associated with the 
Project, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.

    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to section 157.205 of 
the regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and 
not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: 
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule 
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other 
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of 
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this 
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for 
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of 
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the 
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenter's will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenter's will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentary, will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link 
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should 
submit an original and seven copies of the protest or intervention to 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE.,
