DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP95-566-000, et al.]


Northwest Pipeline Corp., et al.; Natural Gas Certificate Filings

June 22, 1995.
    Take notice that the following filings have been made with the 
Commission:

1. Northwest Pipeline Corporation

[Docket No. CP95-566-000]

    Take notice that on June 15, 1995, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, filed in 
Docket No. CP95-566-000 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 
replace certain obsolete and undersized facilities at its Lewiston East 
Meter Station in Nez Perce County, Idaho in order to better accommodate 
its existing firm maximum daily delivery obligations (MDDO) to the 
Washington Water Power Company (Washington Power), 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 states that it presently has firm obligations to deliver 
up to a total of 11,000 Dt per day (at 150 psig) under Rate Schedules 
TF-1 and TF-2, to Washington Power at the Lewiston East delivery point. 
Northwest further states that the Lewiston East Meter Station has a 
maximum design delivery capacity of approximately 7,300 Dt per day (at 
150 psig). Since the maximum design capacity of the Lewiston East Meter 
Station is less then Northwest's firm delivery obligation to Washington 
Power, Northwest is proposing to upgrade the Lewiston East Meter 
Station by replacing the two existing undersized 4-inch orifice meters 
with two 6-inch turbine meters. Northwest states that it also plans to 
install related auxiliary facilities, including a new 750,000 Btu 
heater, electronic flow measurement equipment and a relocated meter 
building. It is stated that the proposed facility upgrade will increase 
the maximum design delivery capacity of the Lewiston East Meter Station 
from 7,300 Dt per day to approximately 13,367 Dt per day at a delivery 
pressure of 150 psig. However, it is further averred that the maximum 
design delivery capacity of the meter station, as limited by the 
existing regulators, will increase from 7,300 Dt to 12,500 Dt per day 
at 150 psig.
    Northwest has estimated the cost of the proposed facility upgrade 
at the Lewiston East Meter Station to be approximately $292,352 which 
includes the cost of removing the old facilities. Northwest avers that 
since this expenditure is necessary in order for Northwest to better 
accommodate existing MDDO's at the Lewiston East Meter Station, 
Northwest will not require any cost reimbursement from Washington 
Power.

    Comment date: August 7, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
G at the end of this notice.

2. Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company

[Docket No. CP95-572-000]

    Take notice that on June 20, 1995, Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company 
(Tennessee), P.O. Box 2511, Houston, Texas 77252, filed in Docket No. 
CP95-572-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the 
Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 
157.212) for authorization to add a new deliver point in Barren County, 
Kentucky, to serve Natural Gas of Kentucky, an existing customer, under 
Tennessee's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-413-000, 
pursuant to Section 7(c) 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.
    Tennessee states that Natural Gas of Kentucky has requested that 
Tennessee provide for a delivery point on its system in Barren County, 
Kentucky which would permit Natural Gas of Kentucky to move up to 2,000 
dekatherms per day of natural gas under an existing IT (interruptible) 
contract held by Tenneco Gas Marketing Company. In order to effectuate 
the delivery, Tennessee proposes to construct and operate a new 2-inch 
hot tap assembly on an existing right-of-way located at Tennessee's 
M.P. 92-4+5.9 in Barren County, Kentucky. Tennessee estimates the cost 
of establishing this delivery point to be approximately $10,837, which 
cost will be reimbursed by Natural Gas of Kentucky. Tennessee further 
states that Natural Gas of Kentucky will install, own, operate, and 
maintain approximately 40-feet of 2-inch interconnecting pipe on 
Tennessee's right-of-way and install, 

[[Page 33799]]
own, and maintain a meter at the site to be operated Tennessee.
    Additionally, Tennessee states that it is currently anticipated 
that only interruptible quantities of gas will be delivered at this 
delivery point and thus the construction of this delivery point will 
not impact Tennessee's peak day and/or annual deliveries.

    Comment date: August 7, 1995, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
G at the end of this notice.

and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

obsolete and undersized facilities at the Pasco Meter Station in 
Franklin County, Washington and to construct and operate upgraded 
replacement facilities at this station to accommodate its existing firm 
maximum daily delivery obligations to Cascade Natural Gas Corporation 
(Cascade Natural) 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

    Northwest proposes to upgrade the Pasco Meter Station by replacing 
one existing 2-inch regulator with a new 1-inch regulator and one 
existing 4-inch orifice meter with a new 4-inch turbine meter and 
appurtenances. These facility replacements will increase the design 
capacity of the Pasco Meter Station from 2,377 Dth per day to 
approximately 4,433 Dth per day at 150 psig. Northwest states that it 
presently has firm maximum daily delivery obligations to deliver up to 
4,350 Dth per day, at a pressure of 150 psig, to Cascade Natural at the 
Pasco delivery point under Rate Schedules TF-1 and TF-2. Northwest 
further states that total cost of the proposed facility replacements at 
the Pasco Meter Station is estimated to be $89,570.
