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

July 21, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 15, 1998, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP98-670-000 a 
request pursuant to Sections 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 utilize an existing tap in Morton County, North Dakota 
to effectuate additional natural gas deliveries to an existing 
customer. Williston Basin makes such request under its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP82-487-000, et al. pursuant to 
Section 7 of the National Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Williston Basic states that it recently received a request from 
Montana-Dakota Utility Company (Montana-Dakota), a local distribution 
customer, for authorization to add additional end-use customers to an 
existing transmission line tap in Morton County, North Dakota. 
Williston Basin is proposing herein to utilize this existing tap to 
effectuate additional natural gas transportation deliveries to Montana-
Dakota for other than right-of-way grantor use. It is stated that 
Williston Basin plans to provide natural gas transportation deliveries 
to Montana-Dakota for ultimate use by the additional end-use customers 
under Rate Schedules FT-1 and/or IT-1.
    The estimated additional volume to be delivered is 110 dekatherms 
per year. It is averred that the proposed service will not have a 
significant effect on Williston Basin's peak day or annual 
requirements. Williston Basin indicates that its tariff does not 
prohibit the addition of new delivery points, and that the volumes 
proposed to be delivered are within the contractual entitlements of 
Montana-Dakota.
    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 not protest is filed within the time allowed thereof, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is tiled 
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.
