Take notice that on September 15,

Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1,

the following pro forma tariff sheets:

Pro Forma Sheet No. 87

Pro Forma Sheet No. 88

WGI states that these pro forma tariff

sheets reflect the changes to its tariff

that are required to comply with the

and 637–B. WGI has made changes to its

General Terms and Conditions to

provide for segmentation of capacity. As

further explained in the filing, WGI

believes its current tariff provisions

governing scheduling equality and

flexible point rights comply with the

requirements of Order No. 637. WGI

requests waiver of the requirements

relating to alternate point allocations,

operational flow orders, imbalance

services and penalties on the grounds

that they are either not operationally

feasible for WGI or are unnecessary in

order to comply with Order No. 637.

WGI states that copies of this filing

have been served on WGI’s

jurisdictional customers and public

bodies.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission

[Docket No. CP00–141–000]

Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice

of Availability of the Environmental

Assessment for the Proposed White

River Replacement Project

September 21, 2000.

The staff of the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission (FERC or

Commission) has prepared an

environmental assessment (EA) on the

natural gas pipeline facilities proposed

by Northwest Pipeline Corporation

(Northwest) in the above-referenced

docket.

The EA was prepared to satisfy the

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act. The staff

concludes that approval of the proposed

project, with appropriate mitigating

measures, would not constitute a major

Federal action significantly affecting the

quality of the human environment.

The purpose of the proposed project

is to ensure the long-term safety and

integrity of its dual pipelines where

they cross the meandering White River

in King County, Washington, by

replacing certain sections at a deeper

depth and building a permanent north

bank stabilization structure.

The EA assesses the potential

environmental effects of the

construction, operation, and

abandonment of two parallel gas

pipelines including:

• Construct and operate 1,800 feet

each of 26-inch-diameter and 30-inchdiameter pipelines;

• Remove 1,700 feet each of the

existing 26-inch-diameter and 30-inchdiameter pipelines;

• Remove from the White River

channel a 665-foot length of 26-inchdiameter pipeline which was previously

abandoned in-place;
