Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

July 19, 1996.
    Take notice that on July 16, 1996, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108, filed in 
Docket No. CP96-642-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.216 
and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 157.205, 157.216, and 157.211) for authorization to upgrade its 
Gresham and North Eugene Meter Stations in Multnomah and Lane Counties, 
Oregon respectively, by partially abandoning certain existing 
facilities and constructing and operating appropriate upgraded 
replacement facilities 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 Gresham Meter Station by 
replacing approximately 150 feet of existing 4-inch inlet and outlet 
heater piping with new 6-inch inlet and outlet heater piping, replacing 
the existing 750,000 Btu per hour heater with a 1,000,000 Btu heater, 
replacing the existing regulator pilot springs in the 4-inch dual port 
regulators with new higher pressure regulator pilot springs and 
replacing the existing 2-inch meter station by-pass line with a new 4-
inch meter station by-pass line. As a result of these changes the 
maximum design delivery capacity of this meter station will increase 
from approximately 22,910 Dth per day to approximately 27,800 Dth per 
day.
    Northwest also proposes to upgrade the North Euguene Meter Station 
by replacing approximately 150 feet of existing 4-inch inlet and outlet 
heater piping with 6-inch inlet and outlet heater piping and by 
replacing two existing 4-inch filters with a single 6-inch filter. As a 
result of these changes the maximum delivery capacity of this meter 
station will increase from approximately 18,539 Dth per day to 
approximately 33,433 Dth per day.
    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 therefore, 
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.
