[Docket No. CP97–751–000]

Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

September 17, 1997.

Take notice that on September 12,

1997, Northwest Pipeline Corporation

(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake

City, Utah 84158, filed in Docket No.

CP97–751–000 a request pursuant to

§§ 157.205 and 157.216 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.216) for authorization to abandon

by removal certain obsolete facilities at

the Warden Meter Station located in

Grant County, Washington, under

Northwest’s blanket certificate issued in

Docket No. CP82–443–000 pursuant to

Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as

more fully set forth in the request that

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Northwest proposes to remove the

obsolete 2-inch positive displacement

meter at the Warden Meter Station,

which has been shut-in since 1992, in

order to allow easier access to perform

routine maintenance on the remaining

facilities since there is limited space in

the existing meter building. Northwest

states that appurtenant piping will be

installed as auxiliary facilities under 18

CFR Section 2.55(a) so the former meter

run can be used as a meter by-pass line

when necessary.

Northwest states that removing the 2-

inch positive displacement meter will

not change the design capacity of the

Warden Meter Station since it originally

was installed only to measure lower

flows than the remaining 3-inch turbine

meter could accurately measure and the

capacity of the meter station still will be

limited by the existing regulators.

Northwest further states that the cost

of removing the 2-inch positive

displacement meter at the Warden

Meter Station is estimated to be

approximately $2,000.

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

§ 157.250 of the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within 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protest is filed and not withdrawn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.

Secretary.
