    Take notice that on November 21, 2006, Questar Pipeline Company

abbreviated application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations, seeking 
authority to expand its interstate natural-gas transmission system by 
constructing and operating 58.6 miles of 24-inch diameter pipeline and 
related facilities and modifying two existing compressor stations, 
known as the Southern System Expansion Project II (SSXP II), located in 
Carbon, Duchesne and Uintah Counties, Utah. This filing is available 
for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be

    The proposed project will enable Questar to transport up to an 
additional 175,000 decatherms of natural gas per day (Dth/d) from 
various receipt points on Questar's southern interstate transmission 
system to Questar's Main Line No. 104 (ML 104) which is interconnected 
with Kern River Gas Transmission Company (Kern River) at Goshen, Utah. 
Questar has negotiated transportation service agreements for firm 
transportation service with seven parties for the entire 175,000 Dth/d 
with terms varying between 10 and 11\1/2\ years. Questar states that 
the total estimated cost of the proposed project is $107,693,000 and 
the seven contracting shippers have agreed to pay the existing Southern 
System Expansion Project monthly reservation charge of $7.82712/Dth per 
month. Questar proposes to complete the proposed project and makes it 
available for service by November 1, 2007.
    Any questions regarding the application are to be directed to L.

Company, 180 East 100 South, P.O. Box 45360, Salt Lake City, Utah 
84145-0360; phone number (801) 324-2459.
    On March 17, 2006, the Commission staff granted Questar's request 
to utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-Filing 
Process and assigned Docket No. PF06-18-000 to staff activities 
involving SSXP II. Now, as of the filing of this application on 
November 21, 2006, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this project has 
ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be conducted in 
Docket No. CP07-25-000, as noted in the caption of this Notice.

review of this project. Environmental commenters will be placed on the 
Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of 
environmental documents issued by the Commission, and will be notified 
of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review 
process. Those persons, organizations, and agencies who submitted 
comments during the NEPA Pre-Filing Process in Docket No. PF06-18-000
