Williston Basin proposes to abandon
certain segments of two different vintage
pipeline river crossings of the
Yellowstone River located in Dawson
County, Montana. The first vintage
pipeline to be abandoned, it is said,
consists of approximately 1,390 feet of
8-inch pipeline, the majority of which
hangs from the Burlington Northern
Santa Fe (BNSF) railroad bridge.
It is stated, that on May 13, 1998,
Williston Basin filed for, and received,
authorization in Docket No. CP98–544–
000 to construct a new 16-inch river
crossing and to disconnect an 8-inch
river crossing hanging on the BNSF
railroad bridge. Williston Basin points
out that this 8-inch pipeline has not
been used since it was disconnected in
1998. Thus, Williston Basin contends
that no customers would be affected by
the abandonment of this facility.
Williston Basin proposes to remove
approximately 60 feet of this 8-inch
PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\22AUN1.SGM
pipeline which lies underground (40
feet on the north side of the river and
20 feet on the south side of the river),
with the remainder (approximately
1,330 feet) of this pipeline to be
abandoned in place and to remain on
the BNSF railroad bridge.
The second vintage pipeline,
Williston Basin states it proposes to
remove, would be approximately 410
feet of 16-inch pipeline from the north
side of the Yellowstone River and
approximately 300 feet of 16-inch
pipeline from the south side of the
Yellowstone River. Williston Basin
maintains that these segments of
pipeline, abandoned in place in 1999,
lie in close proximity to the active 16-
inch line constructed in 1998. Williston
Basin concludes that removing these
segments of 16-inch pipeline would
ensure that they are not exposed by any
future Yellowstone River bank erosion.
Williston Basin avers that the sections
of pipeline proposed to be abandoned
are neither strategic nor integral to
Williston Basin’s primary business of
transporting natural gas in interstate
commerce. Additionally, Williston
Basin states that these facilities
currently are not needed and are not
being used to perform Williston Basin’s
service obligations.
Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement (FEIS)
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will serve to notify federal and
state agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all
federal authorizations within 90 days of
the date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s FEIS or EA.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
22AUN1
 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 162 / Wednesday, August 22, 2007 / Notices
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
14 copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to
the applicant and to every other party in
the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
and interventions via the Internet in lieu
of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)
and the instructions on the
Commission’s Web site http://
www.ferc.gov under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link.
