1Natural had previously proposed to relocate a

smaller compressor unit from Texas to Illinois.

2Natural had previously proposed to retrofit

Station No. 199 and increase its horsepower by

4,500.

3One shipper which was previously part of the

project, Renaissance Energy (US) has dropped out.

(1) Construct and operate a new 9,000

horsepower compressor at Station No.

110 in Henry County, Illinois,1

(2) Construct and operate about 9.7

miles of 36-inch pipeline loop in Louisa

and Muscatine Counties, Iowa. The loop

would be immediately upstream (to the

west) of Station No. 199, which is in

Muscatine County.2

The primary purpose of Natural’s

proposal, to add new firm transportation

service downstream of from Harper,

Iowa, has not been changed. Other than

described above, the other facilities

proposed in Natural’s original

application remain unchanged. Natural

had previously proposed to add 550,000

Mcf per day of new service, but reduced

its proposal to 525,000 Mcf per day of

new service.3 Natural is still planning to

use roughly 180,000 Mcf per day of

future released capacity, plus 345,000

Mcf per day of the additional capacity

gained from the proposed facilities for

these services. The total cost of

Natural’s proposal has decreased from

$87,467,000 to $85,415,000. Also,

Natural restates that it plans to recover

the cost of this expansion by means of

an incremental rate applied to the

345,000 Mcf per day of expansion

capacity.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to this

amendment to the application should

on or before June 28, 1996 file with the

intervene or a protest in accordance

with the requirements of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (28 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)

and the Regulations under the Natural

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. All persons who have heretofore

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

no motion to intervene is filed within

the time required herein, if the

Commission on its own review of the

Northwest states that this proposal

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

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

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.
