DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
[Docket No. CP95-650-002]


Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of Amendment to Application

October 25, 1995.
    Take notice that on October 20, 1995, Questar Pipeline Company 
(Questar Pipeline), 79 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, 
filed in Docket No. CP95-650-002 a second amendment to its application 
in Docket No. CP95-650-000, pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas 
Act (NGA), seeking authority to abandon certain certificated facilities 
by transfer to Questar Gas Management Company (QGM), all as more fully 
set forth in the amendment that is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection.
    Questar Pipeline proposes, by this amendment, to include in the 
assets to be transferred to QGM: (1) Jurisdictional Lateral No. 17 (JL 
No. 17), comprising 14,585 feet of 8-inch diameter pipeline, and 
associated metering and regulating facilities, originally referred to 
as the Dry Piney Exchange Station, and (2) the Riley Ridge M&R Station, 
comprising one 2-inch and one 6-inch meter run, various valves and 
appurtenant facilities located in Section 12, Township 27 North, Range 
114 West, Sublette County, Wyoming. It is stated that the gross plant 
investment values for JL No. 17 and the Riley Ridge M&R Station, as of 
May 31, 1995, are $88,381 and $64,615, respectively.
    Questar Pipeline explains that this amendment is submitted in 
response to the intervention and protest filed by Exxon Company, U.S.A. 
(Exxon), in this proceeding on September 6, 1995. It is further 
explained that Questar Pipeline concurs with Exxon's assertions that 
Questar Pipeline's 8-inch, 2.76-mile JL No. 17 and associated 
facilities should more properly be classified as gathering because JL 
No. 17 connects Questar Pipeline's Dry Piney gathering system with two 
Williams Field Services' gathering laterals.
    Questar Pipeline asserts that, upon receipt of the requested 
authorizations, QGM will own and operate these facilities as part of 
its nonjurisdictional gathering system, exempt from the Commission's 
jurisdiction under NGA Section 1(b).
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said amendment to the application should on or before 
November 15, 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 as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion to 
intervene 

[[Page 55374]]
in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 
required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave 
to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion 
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such 
hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Questar Pipeline to appear or be represented 
at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
