Take notice that on December 4, 1997, Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company (Williston Basin), 200 North Third Street, Suite 300, Bismarck, North Dakota 58501, filed a request with the Commission in Docket No. CP98-115-000, pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to utilize an existing tap to effectuate natural gas transportation deliveries to Montana-Dakota Utilities Co. (Montana- Dakota) authorized in blanket certicate issued in Docket Nos. CP98-487- 000, et al., all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Williston Basin proposes to add both right-of-way grantor and non right-of-way grantor and end-use customers to an existing transmission line tap at Station No. 9388+45 on Williston Basin's Belle Fourche- Rapid City pipeline in Meade County, South Dakota, at the request of Montana-Dakota. The estimated additional volume to be delivered is 600 Mcf per year. The existing tap was never connected by Montana-Dakota to the right-of-way grantor's residence and no service was ever provided through this facility. Williston Basin plans to provide natural gas transportation deliveries to Montana-Dakota for ultimate use by additional 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 If a protest is filed [[Page 66074]] and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of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.
