Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP00–186–000]

Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice

of Application

April 21, 2000.

Take notice that on April 14, 2000

Northwest Pipeline Corporation

(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake

City, Utah 84158, filed in Docket No.

CP00–186–000, an abbreviated

application, pursuant to sections 7(b)

and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and part

157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission’s Regulations for an order

authorizing the replacement of the

existing permanent compressor unit

with an upgraded mobile compressor

unit at the Zillah Compressor Station on

Northwest’s Wenatchee Lateral in

Yakima County, Washington, all as

more fully set forth in the application

which is on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection. This

filing may be viewed on the web at

http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm

(call 202–208–2222 for assistance).

Specifically, Northwest proposes to

upgrade the Zillah station controls and

station infrastructure and to replace the

existing Solar Saturn T–1000 (1,068

NEMA-rated horsepower) stationary

compressor unit with one of

Northwest’s existing Solar Saturn T–

1300 (1,343 ISO-rated horsepower)

trailer-mounted turbine compressor

packages. The mobile unit would be

based at Zillah during the winter season

to provide compression when needed

for operations on the Wenatchee Lateral.

During off-peak periods when not

required at Zillah, the mobile unit

would remain available as a temporary

back-up to out of service permanent

units at other locations on Northwest’s

system. Northwest states that the

additional horsepower available with

the proposed mobile unit and the more

optimal staging of the mobile

compressor will enhance operational

and service flexibility for existing firm

shippers on the Wenatchee Lateral.

The associated upgrades to

appurtenant facilities, especially the

station control equipment, will enhance

efficiency and reliability of service at

the Zillah Compressor Station.

Northwest’s total estimated cost for the

proposed project is approximately

$940,000, which Northwest proposes to

be given rolled-in treatment in its next

rate case.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before May 12,

2000, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street

NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to

interview or protest in accordance with

the requirements of the Commission’s

Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.314 and 385.214). All protests filed

with the Commission will be considered

by it in determining the appropriate

action to be taken but will not serve to

make the protestants parties to the

proceeding. Any person wishing to

become a party to the proceeding or to

participate as a party in any hearing

therein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

Rules. Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to Gary

Kotter, Manager, Certificates, Northwest

Pipeline Corporation, P.O. Box 58900,

Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, (801) 584–

7117.

A person obtaining intervenor status

will be placed on the service list

maintained by the Secretary of the

Commission and will receive copies of

all documents issued by the

Commission, filed by the applicant, or

filed by all other intervenors. An

intervenor can file for rehearing of any

Commission order and can petition for

court review of any such order.

However, an intervenor must serve

copies of comments or any other filing

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well as filing an original and 14 copies

with the Commission. A person does

not have to intervene, however, in order

to have comments considered. A person,

instead, may submit two copies of such

comments to the Secretary of the

Commission. Commenters will be

placed on the Commission’s

environmental mailing list, will receive

copies of environmental documents,

and will be able to participate in

meetings associated with the

Commission’s environmental review

process. Commenters will not be

required to serve copies of filed

documents on all other parties.

However, commenters will not receive

copies of all documents filed by other

parties or issued by the Commission,

and will not have the right to seek

rehearing or appeal the Commission’s

final order to a Federal court. The

Commission will consider all comments

and concerns equally, whether filed by

commenters or those requesting

intervenor status.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

by Sections 7 and 15 of the NGA and the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure, a hearing will be held

without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that the proposal is

required by the public convenience and

necessity. If a motion for leave to

intervene is timely filed, or if the

Commission on its own motion believes

that a formal hearing is required, further

notice of such hearing will be duly

given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised it will be

unnecessary for Northwest to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
