Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

November 19, 1996.
    Take notice that on November 12, 1996, Northwest Pipeline 
Corporation (Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, 
filed in Docket No. CP97-88-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 
157.211 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211 and 157.216) for authorization to 
upgrade its Spokane West Meter Station in Spokane County, Washington by 
partially abandoning certain existing facilities and constructing and 
operating 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 Spokane West Meter Station by 
removing the two existing 6-inch turbine meters, the existing 750,000 
Btu per hour heater and approximately 250 feet of existing 4-inch inlet 
piping and appurtenances and installing two new 8-inch turbine meters, 
a 1,900,000 Btu per hour heater, a new 6-inch tap valve on the lateral 
line and approximately 200 feet of 6-inch inlet piping and 
appurtenances.
    Northwest states that the meter station upgrade is necessary to 
accommodate a request by The Washington Water Power Company for 
increased delivery point capacity at this point for service under 
existing firm transportation agreements.
    Northwest states that as a result of the proposed upgrade, the 
maximum design capacity of the meter station will increase from 
approximately 18,733 Dth per day at 250 psig to approximately 34,945 
Dth per day at 250 psig.
    Northwest estimates the total cost of the proposed meter station 
upgrade to be approximately $357,400.
    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 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
