[Docket No. RP98–216–000]

Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice

of Petition for Declaratory Order

May 19, 1998.

Take notice that on May 8, 1998,

pursuant to Rule 207(a)(2) of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 207(a)(2)), Northwest

Pipeline Corporation (Northwest)

tendered for filing a petition for a

declaratory order.

Northwest requests the Commission

to assist Northwest in determining the

appropriate final confirmed volume

between Northwest and PG&E Gas

Transmission-Northwest (GT–NW) at

the points of their interconnection.

Northwest argues that because currently

effective GISB standards do not

specifically address pipeline to pipeline

communication and confirmation

standards, Northwest seeks the

Commission’s assistance in resolving

the dispute between Northwest and GT–

NW.

Northwest respectfully requests the

Commission to provide guidance

concerning how final confirmed

volumes should be determined.

Northwest submits that for the lockedin period from August 1997 until the

implementation of Order No. 587–G,

GT–NW should be directed to recognize

Northwest’s ‘‘Evening Confirmation’’ as

the start of gas day confirmation.

Implementation of Order No. 587–G,

supported by Northwest regarding this

issue, will eliminate future confirmation

disputes between Northwest and GT–

NW.

Northwest argues that because of the

significance of this issue, and the fact

that timing issues affect pipelines

throughout the country, Northwest

submits that it is appropriate for the

Commission to determine how this

issue should be resolved in light of GISB

standards, rather than leaving the

parties to construe individual operating

and balancing agreement terms.

Northwest states that copies of the

filing has been served upon all

jurisdictional customers and affected

state commissioners.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest this 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 and 385.211 of the

Commission’s Rules and Regulations.

All such motions or protests must be

filed on or before June 8, 1998. 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.
