[Docket No. CP98-624-000]
Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of Request
Under Blanket Authorization
June 26, 1998.
Take notice that on June 19, 1998, Williston Basin Interstate
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), Suite 300, 200 North Third Street,
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed a prior notice request with the
Commission in Docket No. CP98-624-000 pursuant to Section 157.205 of
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for
authorization to construct and operate two master meter stations and
appurtenant facilities in Yellowstone County, Montana, under Williston
Basin's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-487-000, et al.,
pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the
request which is open to the public for inspection.
Williston Basin proposes to construct and operate two new master
meter stations and appurtenant facilities to provide natural gas
service to Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. (Montana-Dakota). Williston
Basin states that it would install two master meter stations at its
current 48th Street West farm tap site. Williston Basin also states
that one meter station would be known as the Danford master meter
station, which would consist of a 2-inch tap on the Elk Basin-Billings
mainline and approximately 400 feet of 3-inch diameter lateral pipeline
from the proposed Danford master meter station to the new tap.
Williston Basin further states that it would construct and operate a
rotary meter, regulators, and miscellaneous piping, gauges, and valves
at the 48th Street West farm tap site. Williston Basin estimates that
it would construct the proposed master meter stations facilities at a
cost of $47,700 in order to deliver approximately 1,310 Mcf of natural
gas per day via the proposed Danford master meter station and 595 Mcf
of natural gas per day via the 48th Street West farm tap site master
meter station to Montana-Dakota.
Williston Basin states that it provides natural gas transportation
service to Montana-Dakota pursuant to Rate Schedules FT-1 and/or IT-1
of Williston Basin's FERC Gas Tariff. Williston Basin further states
that the addition of the proposed master meter stations facilities is
not prohibited by its FERC Gas Tariff and that addition of the
facilities would not have any adverse impact on a daily or annual basis
upon Williston Basin's existing customers.
Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the
Commission has issued this notice, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If
no protest is filed within the allowed time, 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 NGA.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
