• Send a copy of your letter to: Ms.

Lauren O’Donnell, EA Project Manager,

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

If you wish to receive a copy of the

EA, you should request one from Ms.

O’Donnell at the above address.

Beyond asking for written comments,

we invite you to attend our public

scoping meeting that will be held on

June 11, 1996, at 7:00 p.m., at the

Saugus High School, Pierce Street,

Saugus, Massachusetts. This public

meeting will provide you with more

detailed information and another

opportunity to offer your comments on

the proposals. We will also be visiting

the project location on June 11 and 12,

1996.

Becoming an Intervenor

In addition to involvement in the EA

scoping process, you may want to

become an official party to the

proceedings or become an ‘‘intervenor’’.

Among other things, intervenors have

the right to receive copies of caserelated Commission documents and

filings by other intervenors. Likewise,

each intervenor must provide copies of

its filings to all other parties. If you

want to become an intervenor you must

file a motion to intervene according to

Rule 214 of the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure (18 CFR

385.214) (see appendix 2).

• The date for filing of timely motions

intervene in these proceedings has

passed. Therefore, parties now seeking

to file late interventions show good

cause, as required by section

385.214(b)(3), why this time limitation

should be waived. Environmental issues

have been viewed as good cause for late

intervention. You do not need

intervenor status to have your scoping

comments considered.

Additional information about the

proposed projects is available from Ms.

Lauren O’Donnell, EA Project Manager,

at (202) 208–0325.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.

BILLING CODE 6717–01–M

[Docket No. CP96–501–000, et al.]

Northwest Pipeline Corporation, et al.;

Natural Gas Certificate Filings

May 15, 1996.

Take notice that the following filings

have been made with the Commission:

1. Northwest Pipeline Corporation

[Docket No. CP96–501–000]

Take notice that, on May 6, 1996,

Northwest Pipeline Corporation

(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake

City, Utah 84108, filed an abbreviated

application in Docket No. CP96–501–

000, pursuant to section 7(b) of the

Natural Gas Act and Section 157.7(a) of

the Commission’s regulations, for

authorization to remove its previously

abandoned in-place, 10-inch diameter

South Seattle Lateral crossing and

adjacent 10-inch diameter lateral loop

line crossing of Madsen Creek, in

Section 26, T23N, R5E, King County,

Washington, all as more fully set forth

in the application, which is on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

Northwest states that it relocated and

replaced the above referenced 175-foot

long Madsen Creek crossing segments in

1993, pursuant to its blanket certificate

authority in Docket No. CP82–433 (20

FERC ¶ 62,412), but did not remove the

two replaced and exposed pipeline

segments. Instead, these pipeline

segments were abandoned in-place in

order to avoid further damage to the

Madsen Creek ravine.

Northwest states that (as reported in

Docket No. CP82–433) it intended to

remove these pipeline segments in 1994,

as part of the project area restoration,

but the planned restoration was not

completed and the pipeline segments

were not removed, due to Northwest’s

prolonged negotiations with King

County over plans for the restoration

and bank stabilization of the Madsen

Creek ravine. According to Northwest, it

has reached agreement with King

County regarding the restoration and

bank stabilization plans for the Madsen

Creek ravine, and now plans to remove

the two exposed pipeline segments in

July of 1996. Northwest states that

(consistent with the plans negotiated

with King County) it seeks the requisite

Commission approvals to remove the

previously abandoned pipeline

segments, and estimates that the project

will cost approximately $45,000.

Comment date: June 5, 1996, in

accordance with Standard Paragraph F

at the end of this notice.

K N Interstate states that these new

delivery facilities are not prohibited by

its existing tariff and that it has

sufficient capacity to accomplish

deliveries without detriment or

disadvantage to other customers. The

proposed delivery facilities will not

have an effect on K N Interstate’s peak

day and annual deliveries and the total

volumes delivered will be within the

current maximum transportation
