[Docket No. CP96-627-000]


Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

July 12, 1996.
    Take notice that on July 8, 1996, Questar Pipeline Company 
(Questar), 79 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, filed in 
Docket No. CP96-627-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of the 
Natural Gas Act for authorization to increase the Maximum Authorized 
Operating Pressure (MAOP) on its Main Lines (M.L.) Nos. 1 and 13 
between the Eakin Compressor Station and the Coalville Compressor 
Station and to restage the Eakin No. 5 compressor, all as more fully 
set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    Questar proposes to increase the MAOP from 700 psig to 860 psig 
following replacement of the pipelines under Section 2.55 of the 
Commission's Regulations. Questar proposes to restage the compressor in 
order to more fully utilize the increased capacity resulting from the 
increase in MAOP. It is asserted that the proposals would result in an 
increase in firm capacity of 20,000 dt equivalent of natural gas for 
Salt Lake City and other metropolitan areas along the Wasatch Front. It 
is estimated that the cost of the restage would be $184,000, with an 
additional $310,000 for a gas cooler to be installed under Section 2.55 
authorization. It is stated that there would be no cost associated with 
the increase in MAOP.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before August 2, 1996, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 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 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 a grant of the certificate is 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 advise, 
it will be necessary for Questar to appear or to be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
