Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of Request 
Under Blanket Authorization

June 11, 1998.
    Take notice that on June 2, 1998, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP98-586-000 a 
request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's 
Regulations (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) 
for authorization to operate an existing tap in Big Horn County, 
Wyoming, for deliveries to Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. (MDU), under 
Williston Basin's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-1-000, 
et al., pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth 
in the request that is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Williston Basin proposes to utilize the tap to make additional 
deliveries of gas transported for MDU, a local distribution company, to 
end-users other than right-of-way grantors. It is estimated that the 
additional volumes would total 110 Dt equivalent of natural gas per 
year. It is explained that the deliveries would be made under Williston 
Basin's Rate Schedules FT-1 and/or IT-1. It is asserted that the 
proposed deliveries will have no significant effect on Williston 
Basin's peak day or annual deliveries. It is explained that the 
proposal is not prohibited by Williston Basin's existing tariff and 
that Williston Basin has sufficient capacity to accomplish the 
deliveries.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
