[Docket No. CP98-36-000]
Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of Request
Under Blanket Authorization
October 23, 1997.
Take notice that on October 17, 1997, Williston Basin Interstate
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300,
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP98-36-000 a request
pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) for
authorization to construct and operate new metering and associated
appurtenant facilities in Big Horn County, Wyoming, for use in
providing delivery of transportation service to KCS Mountain Resources,
Inc. (KCS), under Williston Basin's blanket certificate issued in
Docket Nos. CP82-487-000, et al., pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural
Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Williston Basin states that KCS has requested the installation of
metering facilities to allow Williston Basin to make deliveries of up
to 7,500 Mcf per day to KCS to be used at its gas processing plant and
for KCS to provide gas service to a local distribution company.
Williston Basin states that the facilities to be constructed will
consist of a new four-inch meter run, meter, SCADA communication
equipment and miscellaneous piping, gauges and valves, all of which
will be installed within the existing buildings or within the existing
fenced metering station. Williston Basin estimates the cost of the
proposed metering facilities to be $59,000, and that the actual cost of
the facilities is 100% reimbursable by KCS.
Williston Basin states that in addition to the facilities mentioned
above, Williston Basin will be installing approximately 12 feet of
additional six-inch piping to connect its system at the intersection of
its 10-inch Manderson Lateral and its 12-inch Worland-Cabin Creek
Yellow Line to effectuate the delivery of gas to KCS. Williston Basin
states that this construction will occur entirely on existing pipeline
right-of-way within a concrete-enclosed underground valve box and no
ground disturbance will occur. Williston Basin proposes to complete and
report such construction under Section 157.208(a) of the Commission's
Regulations.
Williston Basin states that it will provide natural gas
transportation deliveries to KCS under Rate Schedules FT-1 and/or IT-1
of Williston Basin's FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, and
that Williston Basin's FERC Gas tariff does not prohibit the addition
of new delivery points. Williston Basin also states that the addition
of the proposed facilities will have no significant effect on its peak
day or annual requirements and capacity has been determined to exist on
the Williston Basin system to serve this natural gas market. Williston
Basin

further states that the volumes to be delivered will be within the
contractual entitlements of the customer.
Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 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 Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor,
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 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.

Secretary.
