    Take notice that on July 10, 1995, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, filed in 
Docket No. CP95-607-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.211) for authorization to construct and operate the

issued in Docket No. CP82-433-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural

Center Hub at Muddy Creek (Hub), in Lincoln

[[Page 37636]]
County, Wyoming. Northwest states that the proposed tap facilities will 
be located at approximately milepost 437.5 on Northwest's existing 22-
inch Ignacio to Sumas mainline in Section 25, Township 20 North, Range 
115 West. Northwest further states that the proposed facilities, 
consisting of a 10-inch tap, valves, appurtenances and approximately 
100 feet of 10-inch piping, will have the capacity to deliver to or 
receive up to approximately 100,000 Dth per day (at 700 psig) to or 
from the Hub to be owned and operated by Overland Trail Transmission 
Company LP (Overland), an intrastate pipeline. Northwest states that it 
will provide transportation service to and from the Hub pursuant to 
authorized Rate Schedule TF-1 and TI-1 transportation agreements with 
various shippers.
    Northwest explains that the proposed tap facilities will be used by 
Northwest to deliver to and receive natural gas from a new bi-
directional meter station to be owned and operated by Overland as part 
of the Hub, under duly authorized transportation agreements with 
various shippers on Northwest's system. It is stated that Northwest and 
Overland have entered into a Facilities Agreement dated May 15, 1995, 
which provides for Northwest to construct, own and operate the proposed 
tap facilities. Northwest further explains that the Hub will provide a 
variety of natural gas market hub services to shippers utilizing the 
Hub via interconnections with various pipelines. Northwest advises that 
Overland's plans for the Hub include interconnections with Colorado 
Interstate Gas Company, Kern River Gas Transmission Company and Questar 
Pipeline Company, in addition to Northwest.
    Northwest states that Overland will reimburse Northwest for the 
construction cost of the proposed tap facilities, estimated to be 
$157,300.
    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.
