Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

June 22, 1997.

Take notice that on July 16, 1997,

Northwest Pipeline Corporation

(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake

City, Utah 84158, filed in Docket No.

CP97–643–000, a request pursuant to

Sections 157.205, 157.211, and 157.216

of the Commission’s Regulations under

the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.211, and 157.216) for authorization

to upgrade its Durkee Meter Station in

Baker County, Oregon by abandoning

certain existing facilities and

constructing and operating upgraded

replacement facilities, under

Northwest’s blanket certificate issued in

Docket No. CP82–433–000, pursuant to

Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as

more fully set forth in the request which

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Northwest relates that this meter

station upgrade is necessary to

accommodate a request by Ash Grove

Cement Company (Ash Grove) for

additional delivery capacity at this

point. Northwest proposes to remove

the two existing 1-inch regulators, the

existing 4-inch turbine meter, existing 3-

inch relief valve and appurtenances and

install upgraded replacement facilities

consisting of two new 2-inch large port

regulators with 50 percent trim, a new

6-inch turbine meter, a new 3 x 4-inch

full ported relief valve and

appurtenances.

Northwest states that as a result of

this proposed upgrade, the maximum

design capacity of the meter station will

increase from approximately 4,517 Dth

per day at 200 psig to approximately

8,764 Dth per day at 200 psig as limited

by the meter.

Northwest says the total cost of the

proposed facility upgrade is estimated

to be approximately $91,000, which will

be reimbursed by Ash Grove. Northwest

indicates that a copy of this filing was

sent to the Oregon Public Utilities

Commission. Northwest states that no

service will be abandoned. Northwest

further states that any volumes

delivered to the Durkee delivery point

will be within the authorized

entitlements of Ash Grove or other

shippers for whom Northwest is

authorized to transport gas. Northwest

says its tariff does not prohibit the

upgrade of delivery point facilities.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 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

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed with the time allowed therefor, 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 time allowed

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act.
