[Docket No. CP96-308-000]


Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

April 19, 1996.
    Take notice that on April 10, 1996, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108, filed in 
Docket No. CP96-308-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.216 
and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.216 and 157.211) for authorization to abandon an 
existing obsolete, undersized meter and to construct and operate an 
upgraded replacement meter at the Mancos Meter Station in Montezuma 
County, Colorado, 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 proposes to upgrade the meter station by removing the 
existing 2-inch positive displacement meter and appurtenances and 
installing a new 2-inch positive displacement meter and appurtenances. 
The maximum design capacity of the meter station will increase from 233 
Dth per day to approximately 438 Dth per day at 150 psig. The estimated 
upgrade cost is $79,680 ($69,680 for installation of new facilities and 
$10,000 for removal of the old). Northwest states that this proposal 
will better accommodate existing firm maximum daily delivery 
obligations at this delivery point to Greeley Gas Company. Northwest 
has stated that its existing FERC Gas Tariff does not prohibit the 
proposed upgrading; that there will be no impact on Northwest's system 
peak day or annual deliveries; and, that there is sufficient capacity 
to accomplish deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to existing 
customers.
    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 not 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
