[Docket No. RP00–283–000]

Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of

Tariff Filing

May 16, 2000.

Take notice that on May 12, 2000,

Questar Pipeline Company (Questar)

tendered for filing as part of its FERC

Gas Tariff, Third Revised Sheet No. 117,

First Revised Volume No. 1, to be

effective June 12, 2000.

Questar pursuant to prior Commission

authority, provides underground

natural-gas storage service at three

aquifer storage reservoirs, Leroy,

Coalville and Chalk Creek. Questar’s

currently effective tariff requires that

working gas from these reservoirs be

withdrawn to the extent practicable at

the conclusion of the withdrawal

period, beginning no later than March 1

of each year, and allows reinjection late

in the fall.

Questar’s only storage customer

utilizing the aquifer reservoirs, Questar

Gas Company (QGC), requested that it

be allowed, but not required to, leave

working gas in both the Leroy and

Coalville storage aquifers during the

summer months. Upon Questar’s and

QGC’s joint engineering analysis, the

parties ascertained that leaving

approximately 50 percent of the

working gas in place at two of its storage

reservoirs, Leroy and Coalville and

allowing QGC to inject and withdraw

working gas between the end of the

withdrawal period and beginning of the

injection period, may be beneficial for

QGC. Injecting and withdrawing natural

gas in and out of these two reservoirs

year round, improves reservoir

performance and provides QGC with

more accommodation and flexible

storage service. Questar Pipeline has

determined that making the change

requested by QGC will not adversely

affect the storage reservoirs’ operations.

Further, since QGC is the only customer

using these storage reservoirs, this

change will not affect other customers.

Therefore, in response to QGC’s request,

Questar proposed modifications to its

tariff that it believes will allow for more

efficient and productive usage of the

Leroy and Coalville storage reservoirs.

Questar states that a copy of this filing

has been served upon Questar’s

customers, the Public Service

Commission of Utah and the Public

Service Commission of Wyoming.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Sections

385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission’s

Rules and Regulations. All such motions

or protests must be filed in accordance

with Section 154.210 of the

Commission’s Regulations. Protests will

be considered by the Commission in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken, but will not serve to make

protestants parties to the proceedings.

Any person wishing to become a party

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the

Commission and are available for public

inspection in the Public Reference

Room. This filing may be viewed on the
