    Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of 
    Application
    
    June 16, 1997.
        Take notice that on June 3, 1997, Williston Basin Interstate 
    Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
    Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP97-559-000 an 
    application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for 
    permission and approval to abandon 7.5 miles of Warren-Elk Basin 
    natural gas transmission pipeline, 6.9 miles in Carbon County, Montana 
    and .6 miles in Park County, Wyoming, all as more fully set forth in 
    the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
    inspection.
        Williston Basin states that the 7.5 miles of 6-inch pipeline is old 
    and deteriorated and has not been used in several years. Williston 
    Basin states further that there would be no effect on existing 
    customers, as service would continue through an existing 12-inch loop 
    line.
        Any person desiring to be heard or any person desiring to make any 
    protest
    
    [[Page 33623]]
    
    with reference to said application should on or before July 7, 1997, 
    file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 
    20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the 
    requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 
    CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
    (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be 
    considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but 
    will not serve to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any 
    person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a 
    party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in 
    accordance with the Commission's Rules.
        Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
    and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
    Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
    the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
    held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
    this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
    required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
    finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 
    required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave 
    to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion 
    believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such 
    hearing will be duly given.
        Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
    it will be unnecessary for Williston Basin to appear or be represented 
    at the hearing.
    Lois D. Cashell,
    Secretary.
