[Docket No. CP95-728-000]


Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

September 7, 1995.
    Take notice that on September 1, 1995, Northwest Pipeline 
Corporation (Northwest), P.O. Box 58900, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108-
0900, filed in Docket No. CP95-728-000 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 modify facilities at the Burley No. 2 Meter Station, 
Cassia County, Idaho, used to perform transportation service for 
Intermountain Gas Company (Intermountain), under the blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-433-000, pursuant to Sections 
7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in 
the request which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Northwest states that the Burley No. 2 Meter Station currently 
consists of two 4-inch taps, four 2-inch regulators, monitor 
configuration, two 6-inch orifice meters and appurtenances, with a 
maximum design capacity of approximately 8,883 dt equivalent of natural 
gas per day at 200 psia. Northwest indicates that at present it has 
firm obligations to deliver up to 9,000 dt equivalent of natural gas 
per day at 200 psig for Intermountain's affiliate, IGI Resources, Inc. 
(IGI) at the Burley No. 2 Meter Station under a Rate Schedule TF-1 
transportation agreement.
    Northwest proposes to modify the meter station by removing two of 
the four existing 2-inch regulators and appurtenances and installing 
appurtenant station piping valves. Northwest indicates that the 
facility replacement will increase the maximum design capacity of this 
meter from 8,883 dt equivalent of natural gas per day at 200 psia to 
approximately 12,400 dt equivalent of natural gas per day at 200 psia 
or 10,900 dt equivalent of natural gas per day at the 300 psig typical 
operating pressure. Northwest estimates a construction and removal cost 
of $3,840. It is indicated that, since this expenditure is necessary in 
order for Northwest to more efficiently accommodate existing delivery 
requirements at the Burley No. 2 Meter Station, Northwest will not 
require any cost reimbursement from IGI.
    Northwest advises that any volumes delivered to intermountain 
through the Burley No. 2 Meter Station will be delivered either for IGI 
or any other shipper for whom Northwest is authorized to transport gas 
and will be within the authorized entitlements of such shippers. Also, 
Northwest indicates that the proposed facility modification is not 
prohibited by its existing tariff. In addition, Northwest states that 
it projects no impact on Northwest's system peak day or annual 
deliveries as a result of the facility modifications.
    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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
