    Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of Request 
    Under Blanket Authorization
    
    January 9, 1997.
        Take notice that on December 30, 1996, Williston Basin Interstate 
    Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Bismark, 
    North Dakota 58501 filed in Docket No. CP97-175-000 a request pursuant 
    to Sections 157.205, and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under 
    the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for approval and 
    permission to abandon a farm tap located in Dawson County, Montana, 
    under the blanket certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP82-487-000, et 
    al., pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as more 
    fully set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and 
    open to public inspection.
        Williston Basin asserts that Montana-Dakota Utilities Company 
    (Montana-Dakota), a local distribution company, has extended its 
    distribution system to serve the load previously served through the tap 
    which Williston now proposes to abandon. Williston Basin also asserts 
    that removal of the tap will eliminate the possibility of ice damage to 
    the tap's riser from the flooding of a nearby river.
        Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the 
    issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
    214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
    385.214), a motion to intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant 
    to Sec. 157.205 of the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 
    157.205), a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the 
    time allowed therefor, the proposed activities 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 30 days after the time 
    allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as 
    an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural 
    Gas Act.
    
    Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
    Acting Secretary.
