DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. RP95-413-000]


Northwest Pipeline Corp.; Notice of Petition for Declaratory 
Order

August 15, 1995.
    Take notice that on August 2, 1995, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest) filed, pursuant to Rule 207(a)(2) of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 387.207(a)(2), a petition for a 
declaratory order finding that rolled-in rates are appropriate for the 
costs and services associated with the new facilities certificated in 
Docket Nos. CP93-613-000, -001, and -002 (Northwest Natural Expansion 
Project) and CP93-673-000, -001, and -002 (Northwest Expansion II 
Project).
    Northwest states that, subsequent to receiving certificates for the 
Northwest Natural and Expansion II Projects, the Commission issued its 
Policy Statement on Pricing Policy for New and Existing Facilities 
Constructed by Interstate Natural Gas Pipelines wherein the Commission 
provided procedures in conjunction with the certificate process for 
obtaining a predetermination on the rate design of new facilities. 
Although it has already received final certificate authority for its 
expansion projects, subject to its request for rehearing, Northwest 
states it desires to obtain rate certainty, specifically, rolled-in 
rates, with respect to these projects prior to placing rates into 
effect in its general rate proceeding that would include the costs and 
services associated with these projects.
    Northwest states rolled-in rate treatment would be appropriate for 
the expansion projects since the facilities will be an integral part of 
Northwest's existing system, provide specific operational and financial 
benefits, and impact the rates of existing customers less than five 
percent.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said petition should on or before September 6, 1995, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements of 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 
385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). 
All protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in 
determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to 
make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to 
become a party to a proceeding or to participate in any hearing therein 
must file a motion to intervene in accordance with the Commission's 
Rules. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are 
available for public inspection in the public reference room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
