Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

January 9, 1997.
    Take notice that on January 2, 1997 Questar Pipeline Company 
(Questar) 79 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, filed in 
Docket No. CP97-179-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act, for permission and approval to abandon, by removal, 
the above ground Drunkard's Wash No. 1 Measuring and Regulating Station 
located in Carbon County, Utah that serves as a jurisdictional receipt 
point on Questar's interstate transmission system, all as more fully 
set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    It is stated that the Drunkard's Wash No. 1 measuring and 
regulating station consist of a 4-inch Daniel senior meter run, a 3-
inch Rockwell valve, telemetry and appurtenances housed in a 4-foot by 
6-foot skid mounted meter building. Questar explains that the 
Drunkard's Wash No. 1 station was established as a temporary facility 
to receive natural gas volumes produced solely by River Gas Corporation 
(River Gas) into Questar's interstate transmission

system. Questar states that the Drunkard's Wash No. 1 station is no 
longer utilized as a receipt point, declaring that instead the natural 
gas produced by River Gas is now delivered at an alternate, larger 
capacity receipt point, known as the Drunkard's Wash No. 2 station, 
which is located approximately one mile south of the facility proposed 
to be abandoned.
    Questar is not proposing to abandon any service.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before January 21, 1997, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 
20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the 
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 
CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.10). 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 a proceeding or to participate as a 
party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in 
accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    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 Natural Gas Act 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 permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 
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 Questar to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
