[Docket No. CP96-783-000]
Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company; Notice of Request
Under Blanket Authorization
September 19, 1996.
Take notice that on September 12, 1996, Williston Basin Interstate
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300,
Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed in Docket No. CP96-783-000, a
request pursuant to Secs. 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 construct and operate metering and appurtenant
facilities in Slope County, North Dakota, to be used as a back-up fuel
source to Bear Paw Energy, Inc. (Bear Paw). Williston Basin makes such
request, pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more
fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission and open to
public inspection.
Specifically, Williston Basin proposes to construct and operate a
meter, valves, and piping, within a receipt point metering station that
was authorized under Section 2.55(d) of the Commission's Regulations,
to allow Williston Basin to make deliveries of up to 2,000 equivalent
Dt of natural gas per day to Bear Paw, for Bear Paw's use as a back-up
or emergency source of fuel for its field compression facilities.
Williston Basin indicates that it will transport the volumes to Bear
Paw, under the applicable provisions of its FERC Gas Tariff, Second
Revised Volume No. 1.
It is stated that the addition of the proposed facilities will have
no significant effect on Williston Basin's peak day or annual
requirements, and that the volumes to be delivered are within the
certificated entitlements of the customer. The project is estimated to
cost approximately $23,000 and Williston Basin states that Bear Paw
will reimburse Williston Basin for said project cost.
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 Sec. 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
