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

    Take notice that on May 5, 2014, WBI Energy Transmission, Inc. (WBI 
Energy Transmission), 1250 West Century Avenue, PO Box 5601, Bismarck, 
North Dakota 58506-5601, filed in Docket No. CP14-474-000, a prior 
notice request pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.208 of the 
Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, 
requesting authorization to establish a new Maximum Allowable Operating 
Pressure (MAOP) for three existing pipelines located in Washakie 
County, Wyoming. WBI Energy Transmission proposes to change the MAOP of 
the following pipelines: (i) 1,680 feet of eight-inch diameter pipeline 
from 242 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) to 1,000 psig; (ii) 1,856 
feet 12-inch diameter pipeline from 100 psig to 200 psig; and (iii) 
1,753 feet of 12-inch diameter pipeline from 800 psig to 300 psig. WBI 
Energy Transmission asserts that these changes are necessary in order 
to meet increased demand for additional pressure at the inlet of Devon 
Energy Production Company, LPS (Devon) Worland Plant. WBI Energy 
Transmission estimates that there are no costs associated with the 
Project, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.

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

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

subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
