because the replacement is needed to

maintain the integrity of its mainline

transmission system and reduce the risk

of pipeline failure and service

interruptions to its shippers.

Northwest states that the replacement

will occur entirely within Northwest’s

existing permanent right-of-way, at

milepost 539.1 on Northwest’s mainline

in Caribou County, ID, and that the

estimated cost of the proposed project is

approximately $870,000—$770,000 to

construct the replacement pipeline

segment and $100,000 to remove the

existing pipeline segment.

Northwest states that: (1) the 22-inch

pipeline to be replaced was originally

constructed by Northwest’s predecessor,

Pacific Northwest Pipeline, pursuant to

a certificate authorization in Docket No.

G–1429 (13 FPC 221); (2) several areas

of new temporary construction

workspace and a new access road

(which may not have been included in

the scope of the original construction

certificate authorization) will be

required to accommodate the

construction techniques Northwest

needs to employ to remove the existing

pipeline from the casing and to install

the new replacement pipeline, either in

the existing casing or in a new bored,

uncased railroad crossing in the existing

permanent right-of-way; and (3)

Northwest is seeking the subject

abandonment and certificate approvals

because the contemplated use of

temporary construction workspace areas

and a new access road do not meet the

guidelines for a facilities replacement

project under 18 CFR 2.55(b), as

clarified in the Commission’s March 15,

1995 letter to Tennessee Gas Pipeline

Company in Docket No. CP95–198–000.

Northwest also states that, to avoid

service disruptions to its customers

receiving service at the Soda Springs

Meter Station during construction,

Northwest will install a temporary 2-

inch (above-ground) pipeline, extending

approximately 4,120 feet from upstream

of the closed block valve to that delivery

point.

Any person desiring to be heard, or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should, on or before June 4,

1996, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

DC 20426, a motion to intervene or

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 the 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, or

if the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that a grant of the

certificate is required by the public

convenience and necessity. If a motion

for leave to intervene is timely filed, or

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 Northwest to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Transwestern Pipeline Company;

Notice of Application

May 14, 1996.

Take notice that on April 30, 1996,

Transwestern Pipeline Company

(Transwestern), 1400 Smith Street, P.O.

Box 1188, Houston, Texas 77251–1188,

filed an application with the

Commission in Docket No. CP096–370–

Transwestern to install and operate

mobile compressors on a temporary

basis while existing compressors are

undergoing maintenance, and

permission and approval to abandon the

compressors, all as more fully set forth

in the application which is open to the

public for inspection.

Transwestern states that it requires

the blanket certificate in order to

maintain throughout in the event of

scheduled or unscheduled maintenance.

Transwestern also states that it would

attempt to achieve comparable

horsepower and deliverability with the

temporary compressors as that which is

available with the permanent

compressors. Transwestern asserts that

the blanket certificate would enable

Transwestern to install temporary

compressors without a prior filing and

to avoid interruptions of service to

customers. Transwestern states that it

does not own a compressor unit which

could be used on an as-needed,

temporary basis and that it would use

rental units at a cost estimated to be no

greater than $75,000 per unit per month.

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before May 24,

1996, file with the Federal Energy
