[Docket No. CP96-156-000]
Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Co.; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
February 5, 1996.
Take notice that on January 25, 1996, Williston Basin Interstate
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300,
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP96-156-000, a
request pursuant to Section 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for
authorization to construct and operate a new metering station and the
associated appurtenant facilities to effectuate transportation
deliveries on its transmission system, to Prairielands Energy
Marketing, Inc. (Prairielands), a marketer, for ultimate use by the
American Prairie Foods Potato Plant in Stutsman County, North Dakota.
Williston Basin makes such request, under its blanket certificate
issued in Docket No. CP82-487-000, et al. pursuant to Section 7 of the
Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the
[[Page 4979]]
request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Williston Basin indicates that the new metering station and
associated appurtenant facilities will include a SCADA communication
system enclosed within a building, a meter, regulators, miscellaneous
gauges and valves, and a steel building, all of which will be enclosed
within security fence. The estimated cost to construct said facilities
is $100,000, and it is stated that Prairielands will reimburse
Williston Basin in full for the cost of the facilities.
Williston Basin mentions that the estimated maximum volumes to be
delivered are 4,000 Mcf per day, and that it will provide the service
under its IT-1 Rate Schedule. Williston Basin states that the volumes
that it is proposing herein to deliver, are within the contractual
entitlements of the customer.
It is averred that the addition of the proposed facilities will not
have a significant effect on Williston Basin's peak day or annual
requirements, and capacity has been determined to exist on the
Williston Basin system to serve this natural gas market.
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.
