Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Proposed Settlement

May 31, 1996.

On May 16, 1996, the Canadian

Association of Petroleum Producers,

and the Alberta Department of Energy

(Movants) filed a proposed settlement

and a motion for partial consolidation of

the above captioned proceedings which

relate to the ongoing rate case of

Northern Natural Gas Company, and a

proceeding to establish measures to

ensure adequate capacity on Northern’s

system at Carlton, Minnesota (the

Carlton Resolution). By letter filed May

21, 1996, the Movants informed the

Commission that they failed to serve

copies of their proposed settlement on

all parties to the proceeding until May

21, 1996. In order to cure their error,

and for the comment period on the

settlement and the motion to be

congruent to all parties, the Movants

propose that initial comments be due 20

days from the time of complete service,

or June 10, 1996, and reply comments

be due 10 days thereafter, or June 20,

1996, as provided for by Rule 602 of the

Commission’s regulations.

Upon consideration, notice is hereby

given that initial comments to the

Movant’s May 16, 1996 filing are due on

or before June 10, 1996, and reply

comments are due on or before June 20,

1996.

Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

June 3, 1996.

Take notice that on May 22, 1996,

Northwest Pipeline Corporation

(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake

City, Utah 84108, filed in Docket No.

CP96–536–000 a request pursuant to

Sections 157.205, 157.211 and 157.216

of the Commission’s Regulations under

the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205,

157.211 and 157.216) for authorization

to abandon certain inefficient facilities

at the Brownsville/Halsey Meter Station

in Linn County, Oregon, and to

construct and operate modified

replacement facilities at that station to

more efficiently accommodate its

existing firm maximum daily delivery

obligations at that point to Northwest

Natural Gas Company and James River

Corporation, 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 proposes to replace two of

the three existing 6-inch orifice meters

with two new 6-inch turbine meters and

appurtenances to enhance accuracy and

efficiency in measuring varying flow

rates. Since the capacity of the two new

turbine meters will be nearly the same

as the three existing orifice meters,

Northwest will remove the third

existing 6-inch orifice meter and convert

that meter run for use as a by-pass line

for the meter station when necessary.

After these modifications, the maximum

design capacity of the meters will

decrease from 38,750 Dth per day to

approximately 35,069 Dth per day at a

delivery pressure of 400 psig, but the

design capacity of the meter station will

not change since it is limited by the

existing regulators to 17,500 Dth per day

at 400 psig. The total cost of the

proposal is estimated at approximately

$108,240, comprised of $99,840 for

installation of new facilities and $8,400

for removal of old facilities.

Northwest states that the proposed

facility replacements are not prohibited

by its existing tariff and that it has

sufficient capacity to accomplish

deliveries without detriment or

disadvantage to its other customers. The

proposed modifications will not have an

effect on Northwest’s peak day and

annual deliveries and the total volumes

delivered will not exceed total volumes

authorized prior to this request.

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.

Lois D. Cashell,

Secretary.
