    Northwest states that this proposal will allow the meter station to 
maintain the ability to accommodate existing firm Maximum Daily 
Delivery Obligations (MDDO) at this delivery point to Cascade Natural 
Gas Corporation. Northwest proposes to modify the meter station by 
removing the two existing obsolete 1-inch regulators and the existing 
obsolete 2-inch positive displacement meter and appurtenances, 
installing two new 1-inch regulators and a new 3-inch turbine meter and 
appurtenances as replacements, and converting the existing 3-inch 
orifice meter for operation solely as a backup to the new turbine 
meter. Northwest states that as a result of these modifications, the 
meter station's maximum design capacity will decrease from 2,300 Dth 
per day to 1,837 Dth per day at 150 psig. The total cost of the 
proposed facility replacements is $116,360. The meter station is 
located in Section 6, Township 5 North, Range 36 East, Umatilla County, 
Oregon, at Milepost 22.55 on Northwest's Walla Lateral.
    Northwest states that the proposed facility modifications is not 
prohibited by its existing tariff, that it has sufficient capacity to 
accomplish deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to other 
customers, that its peak day and annual deliveries will not be impacted 
and that the total volumes delivered will be within the authorized 
entitlements.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.

Secretary.
