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 jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES First Revised Sheet No. 64. Original Sheet No. 64A.

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 16inch 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 E:\FR\FM\22AUN1.SGM 22AUN1
