40520 Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 145 /Wednesday, July 29, 1998 / Notices

more fully set forth in the request that

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Specifically, NGT proposes to install

a 6-inch tap on its Line AC in Pike

County and construct approximately

16.7 miles of 6-inch pipe (Line ACT–5)

to deliver additional gas to an existing

customer in Howard County. NGT states

that it will install this tap, Line ACT–

5, a 6-inch meter station and four 2-inch

first-cut regulators to provide an

incremental delivery of 3,000 Dth to

James Hardie Gypsum, Inc. (Hardie

Gypsum). NGT estimates the peak day

and annual deliverability of gas through

these facilities to be 8,000 Dth and 2.9

million Dth, respectively. The estimated

cost of the facilities to be installed is

approximately $2.2 million.

NGT states that in lieu of

reimbursement to NGT, Hardie Gypsum

has executed a transportation agreement

with initial contract demand of 3,000

Dth per day and a primary term

extending through December 31, 2010.

NGT states that it currently delivers

5,000 Dth to Hardie Gypsum through

Line AM–165, but will file to abandon

and relocate that point to Line ACT–5

upon completion of Hardie Gypsum’s

plant expansion.

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 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protest is filed and not withdrawn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.

Acting Secretary.

Commission

[Docket No. CP98–601–001]

Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice

of Amendment

July 23, 1998.

Take notice that on July 15, 1998,

Northwest Pipeline Corporation

(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake

City, Utah 84108, filed in Docket No.

CP98–601–001 an amendment to the

pending request filed on June 9, 1998,

in Docket No. CP98–601–000, to reflect

changes in the facilities originally

proposed and other related aspects of

the project, 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 that is on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

Northwest proposed in its original

request to construct and operate

approximately 2.8 miles of 6-inch loop

line on its Moscow Lateral in Whitman

County, Washington and to upgrade its

Moscow Meter Station in Latah County,

Idaho to better accommodate existing

firm service delivery obligations to the

Washington Water Power Company

(Water Power).

Northwest states that as originally

proposed, the new 6-inch loop line on

the Moscow Lateral would commence at

a new 6-inch tap on the existing 12-inch

Lewiston Lateral, adjacent to the

existing 4-inch Moscow Lateral tap and

terminate at milepost 2.8 on the

Moscow Lateral with a tie-in valve

installed at the terminus of the loop

line.

Northwest states that because the

landowner has expressed concern

regarding its proposal to locate the site

for the tie-in valve in the middle of a

field he uses for agricultural purposes,

Northwest has redesigned the loop line

and with the approval of the landowner

proposes to install the tie-in valve at a

site near the edge of the landowner’s

property. Northwest states that the

proposed loop line will now terminate

at milepost 2.39 on the Moscow Lateral

and will be approximately 2,221 feet

shorter in length than the loop line as

originally proposed.

Northwest states that as a result of the

proposed change, the maximum design

capacity of the Moscow Lateral and loop

line will increase from approximately

8,300 Dth per day to approximately

9,500 Dth per day. Northwest states that

even though the proposed maximum

design capacity has decreased by

approximately 300 Dth per day from its

original proposal, Northwest believes

that the Moscow Lateral and proposed

loop line will still have sufficient

capacity to meet Water Power’s

projected market growth downstream of

the Moscow Meter Station through the

year 2001.

Northwest states that it had originally

proposed to use temporary work space

at four locations along the 75-foot wide

Moscow Lateral right-of-way, but will

now only need temporary work space at

three locations.

Northwest states the estimated cost of

constructing the loop line and the

Moscow Meter Station will decrease

from approximately $1,634,617 to

approximately $1,484,617.

Northwest states that all other

pertinent information as stated in its

original prior notice request filed in

Docket No. CP98–601–000 remain

accurate as previously filed.

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 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.

Acting Secretary.
