[Docket No. CP97-98-000]


Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

November 19, 1996.
    Take notice that on November 13, 1996, Northwest Pipeline 
Corporation (Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, P.O. Box 58900, Salt Lake 
City, Utah 84158-0900, filed in Docket No. CP97-98-000 a request 
pursuant to Sections 157.205, and 157.211 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for 
approval and permission to operate two meter stations as certificated 
delivery points for deliveries to Mid-America Pipeline Company (MAPCO), 
successor in interest to Gulf Gas Utilities Company, under the blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-433, pursuant to Section 7(c) of 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as more fully set forth in the request 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Northwest states that it proposes to operate the Lisbon and Dolores 
meter stations (formerly known as the Gulf Gas No. 1 and Gulf Gas No. 2 
meter stations), located in San Juan County, Utah and Montezuma County, 
Colorado, respectively, as certificated delivery points. Northwest 
further states that MAPCO recently acquired Gulf Gas Utilities' 
interest in its gas supply and transportation agreements, including the 
A-89 agreement, and certain facilities located downstream of the 
subject meter stations. Northwest asserts that MAPCO requested 
Northwest to take the necessary action to make the meter stations 
available as delivery points for open access transportation under 
MAPCO's Rate Schedule TI-1 Part 284 transportation agreement dated 
April 20, 1994 (E-48 agreement), as reported in Docket No. ST95-1124. 
Northwest further asserts that MAPCO has requested Northwest to 
transfer the volumes and priority dates established under the A-89 
agreement to its E-48 agreement, and subsequently terminate the A-89 
agreement, upon approval of the prior notice authorization sought 
herein. Northwest indicates that it will shortly seek the necessary 
waivers of its first-come, first-served and priority of service tariff 
provisions in order to maintain the priority dates established under 
the A-89 agreement under the E-48 agreement.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (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 activities shall be deemed to be 
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for filing a 
protest. If a protest is filed and notwithdrawn 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.
