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

September 2, 1997.
    Take notice that on August 25, 1997, Williston Basin Interstate 
Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, 
Bismark, North Dakota 58501, filed a request with the Commission in 
Docket No. CP97-711-000, pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.211 and 
157.216(b) of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA) for authorization to upgrade an existing delivery meter and 
associated appurtenant facilities by abandoning certain existing 
facilities and constructing and operating upgraded facilities to 
effectuate increased natural gas transportation deliveries to 
Interenergy Corporation (Interenergy) authorized in blanket certificate 
issued in Docket Nos. CP82-487-000, et al., all as more fully set forth 
in the request on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Williston states that Interagency has requested the upgrade of the 
existing Hiland Plant delivery meter and associated appurtenant 
facilities in Washakie County, Wyoming, to allow Williston Basin to 
accommodate increased deliveries of natural gas to be used as an 
emergency source of fuel for its gas compressors. The existing metering 
and appurtenant facilities are currently too small to accommodate the 
increased delivery requested by Interenergy. Therefore, Williston Basin 
proposes to replace the existing delivery

meter and associated appurtenant facilities with a larger meter and 
associated appurtenant facilities to accommodate the increase in 
delivery requested by Interenergy. The total cost of the abandonment 
and upgrade proposed herein is approximately $8,000. The total cost 
would be reimbursed by Interenergy.
    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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
