[Docket No. CP98-208-000]
Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of Request
Under Blanket Authorization
February 4, 1998.
Take notice that on January 28, 1998, Williston Basin Interstate
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300,
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP98-208-000 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
permission and approval to abandon a 3-inch meter run and appurtenant
facilities located at the Recluse Station in Campbell County, Wyoming.
Williston Basin makes such request under its 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 on file
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Williston Basin is seeking authority to abandon the above ground 3-
inch meter run and appurtenant facilities, which include a 5 x 7 foot
skid-mounted building, orifice meter and miscellaneous gauges, station
piping and valves, which Williston Basin avers are not used or useful.
In 1981, Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. installed the 3-inch meter run
and appurtenant facilities at the Recluse Station to deliver gas to a
gas pipeline company. Williston Basin was authorized to acquire and
operate those facilities pursuant to the Commission's Order issued in
Docket Nos. CP82-487-000, et al.
It is stated that the abandonment of the proposed facilities, all
of which are located on Williston Basin's existing right-of-way, will
not affect Williston Basin's peak day or annual transportation, because
there will be no abandonment of service to its existing customers,
since service will continue to be provided through existing facilities
at the site.
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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
