Northwest Natural Gas Company; Notice of Petition for Rate 
Approval

April 11, 2008.
    Take notice that on March 31, 2008, Northwest Natural Gas Company 
(NW Natural) filed a petition for rate approval for its FERC 
jurisdictional firm and interruptible storage and related 
transportation service, pursuant to Section 284.123(b)(2) and 284.224. 
This petition proposes to reduce certain existing maximum rates and 
keep other existing maximum rates the same. NW Natural proposes the 
following: (1) A reduced maximum monthly reservation charge of $5.3325/
Dth, (2) currently approved maximum monthly capacity charge of $0.0600/
Dth, (3) currently approved maximum commodity charge of $0.0075/Dth, 
(4) the reduced maximum authorized overrun rate for both firm and 
interruptible of $0.1753/Dth. All the maximum rates may be discounted, 
and the minimum is zero. In addition NW Natural proposes to continue 
its non-discounted fuel charge of 2% for each Dth.
    Any person desiring to participate in this rate proceeding must 
file a motion to intervene or to protest this filing in accordance with 
Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 
(18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). Protests will be considered by the 
Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will
