[Docket No. CP97-224-000]


Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Application

February 6, 1997.
    Take notice that on February 3, 1997, Northwest Pipeline 
Corporation (Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158-
0900, filed in Docket No. CP97-224-000 an application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to 
abandon transportation services for Amoco Production Company (Amoco) 
and Chevron U.S.A., Inc. (Chevron) provided pursuant to agreements 
certificated in Docket No. CP82-432 and incorporated in Volume No. 2 of 
Northwest's Tariff as Rate Schedules X-77 and X-78, all as more fully 
set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    Northwest states that Rate Schedules X-77 and X-78 provide for 
interruptible transportation of 1,200 Dth per day for Amoco and 350 Dth 
per day for Chevron, respectively, from the Ryckman Creek Field in 
Uinta County, Wyoming to a mainline meter interconnect with the Amoco/
Chevron supply line for their sulphur terminals. Northwest further 
states that these transportation agreements have each expired by their 
own terms, that no services have been requested or provided thereunder 
since early 1993, and that Amoco and Chevron currently are using open-
access, interruptible transportation agreements to provide for 
deliveries to the Amoco/Chevron supply line delivery point.
    Northwest also states that no abandonment of facilities is proposed 
in conjunction with the abandonment of these services.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before February 27, 1997, 
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 permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 
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 advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Northwest to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
