WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

    Take notice that on November 30, 2017, WBI Energy Transmission, 
Inc. (WBI Energy), 1250 West Century Avenue, Bismarck, North Dakota 
filed a prior notice application pursuant to sections 157.205, 157.210 
of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) regulations 
under the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and WBI Energy's blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP82-487-000. WBI Energy requests authorization to 
construct and operate Spring Creek Expansion Project. The filing may 
also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' 
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the 
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, contact 
FERC at [email protected] or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or 
TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, WBI Energy proposes to: (1) construct approximately 
12 miles of 24-inch diameter steel pipeline to provide an additional 
connection to Northern Border Pipeline Company and add facilities at 
its Cherry Creek Valve Setting; (2) expand its Spring Creek Meter 
Station; and (3) expand its Wild Basin Meter Station in McKenzie 
County, North Dakota.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Lori 
Myerchin, Manager, Regulatory Affairs, WBI Energy Transmission, Inc., 
1250 West Century Avenue, Bismarck, North Dakota 58503, (701) 530-1563 
or by email at [email protected]
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, 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 time allowed therefore, 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
    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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties.

[[Page 60008]]

However, the non-party commenter will not receive copies of all 
documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except 
for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission) 
and will not have the right to seek court review of the Commission's 
final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the eFiling link at 
http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should 
submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, 
DC 20426.

    Dated: December 11, 2017.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
