Take notice that on August 1, 2001, Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, the following revised tariff sheet to become effective August 1, 2001:

Third Revised Sheet No. 738

Williston Basin states that it has revised the above-referenced tariff sheet found in the Receipt Point Operational Balancing Agreement Section of its Tariff, to allow the Term of Agreement to continue on a month to month basis after the primary term. This proposed revision will allow the Agreement to remain in effect without the need for the parties to request a formal extension of the Agreement. The proposed revision will simplify the ROBA contract process.
