CP82–487–000, et al.,1 for the acquisition and operation of natural gas facilities in Sheridan County and Campbell County, Wyoming and modification of underground storage facilities at its Baker Storage Reservoir in Fallon County, Montana. The details of Williston Basin’s proposal is more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to the public for inspection. Williston Basin proposes to acquire about 74 miles of 16-inch diameter pipeline from Bitter Creek Pipelines, LLC (Bitter Creek), which currently performs a non-jurisdictional gathering function, as well as installing filtration equipment at its Monarch Compressor Station. Together these facilities will enable Williston Basin to increase the firm storage deliverability from its Baker Storage Reservoir that it will use to make up for declining deliverability from its Billy Creek Storage Reservoir on 1 30 FERC ¶ 61,143 VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:14 Jun 19, 2012 Jkt 226001 its Sheridan Subsystem. Williston Basin states that its proposal will increase system security and reliability by connecting its stand-alone Sheridan Subsystem with the rest of its transmission facilities and, ultimately allow for the future abandonment of its Billy Creek Storage facility. Williston Basin estimates that the cost of the project will be approximately $8,367,00.00. Any questions concerning this prior notice request may be directed to Keith A. Tiggelaar, Director of Regulatory Affairs, Williston Basin Interstate Pipeline Company, 1250 West Century Avenue, Bismarck, North Dakota 58503, (701) 530–1560 or via email at keith.tiggelaar@wbip.com.

Description of Existing Facilities: The licensee has performed no on-site construction or ground-disturbing activities.1 j. Description of Proceeding: The Commission has initiated this Termination of License by Implied Surrender proceeding for the Crown Mill Hydroelectric Project No. 11175 because over 13 years have passed since the issuance of the license, the licensee has failed to complete construction of the project as licensed, and its filings fail to show it can do so in the near future. In 1999 the Commission issued a major license for the 3.4-megawatt (MW) Crown Mill Hydroelectric Project. The authorized project includes: A reconstructed upper canal and intake tunnel; a powerhouse located at the basement of the Crown Roller Mill Building and containing two hydropower units with a total capacity of 3.4 MW; an existing tailrace tunnel and a reconstructed tailrace canal; and an underground transmission line. Standard Article 35 of the license for Project No. 11175 provides, in pertinent part: If the licensee shall cause or suffer essential project property to be removed or destroyed or to become unfit for use, without adequate replacement, or shall abandon or discontinue good faith operation of the project or refuse or neglect to comply with the terms of the license and the lawful orders of the Commission mailed to the record address of the Licensee or its agent, the Commission will deem it to be the intent of the Licensee to surrender the license.2 In 2002, the licensee filed an application to amend the license to relocate the powerhouse to the east side of the West River Parkway in the footprint of the remains of the Holly and Cataract Mill Foundation owned by the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (Park Board) because it stated it could not secure a lease agreement with the owner of the Crown Roller Building and, therefore, it could not construct the project as licensed. In 2005, the Commission dismissed the licensee’s 1 The licensee met the March 2003 deadline to commence project construction by initiating turbine manufacture. See June 19, 2003 letter from Commission staff. 2 Crown Hydro Co., 86 FERC ¶ 62, 209, at 64,289, incorporating by reference form L–6 (Revised Oct. 1975), entitled ‘‘Terms and Conditions of License for Unconstructed Major Project Affecting Navigable Waters and Lands of the United States,’’ 54 F.P.C. 1792 (1975).

The licensee responded on June 23, 2011, stating its intent to file yet another amendment application to develop a substantially different project that would be located in the headrace canal adjacent to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Lock and Dam and on USACE lands. This response and subsequent filings of the licensee indicates that it is in the very early stages of preparing a license amendment application that will materially alter the project facilities and their locations from those as originally licensed. After more than 13 years since the issuance of the license, there is still no expectation that the licensee will complete construction of the project in the foreseeable future. k. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission’s mailing list for this proceeding should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission. l. Filing and Service of Responsive Documents: Any filing must bear in all capital letters the title ‘‘COMMENTS’’, ‘‘PROTEST’’, or ‘‘MOTION TO INTERVENE’’, as applicable, and the Project Number of the proceeding (P– 11175–024). m. Agency Comments—Federal, states, and local agencies are invited to file comments on the described proceeding. If an agency does not file comments within the time specified for filing comments, it will be presumed to have no comments. Dated: June 14, 2012. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary.

    Rule 2010 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.2010, provides 
that, to eliminate unnecessary expense or improve administrative 
efficiency, the Secretary may establish a restricted service list for a 
particular phase or issue in a proceeding. The restricted service list 
should contain the names of persons on the service list who, in the 
judgment of the decisional authority establishing the list, are active 
participants with respect to the phase or issue in the proceeding for 
which the list is established.
    Commission staff is consulting with the Alabama State Historic

Council's regulations, 36 CFR part 800, implementing section 106 of the 
National Historic Preservation Act, as amended, (16 U.S.C. 470f), to 
prepare a Programmatic Agreement (PA) for managing properties included 
in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of Historic 
Places at the Holt Hydroelectric Project. The PA, when executed by the 
Commission, the Alabama SHPO, and the Advisory Council, would satisfy 
the Commission's section 106 responsibilities for all individual 
undertakings carried out in accordance with the license until the 
license expires or is terminated (36 CFR 800.13(e)).
    On August 30, 2011, Commission staff established a restricted 
service list for the Holt Hydroelectric Project. On June 6, 2012, the
