Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

July 9, 1997.
    Take notice that on July 7, 1997, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest) 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108, filed a 
request with the Commission in Docket No. CP97-621-000, pursuant to 
Sections 157.205, 157.211, and 157.216(b) of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to 
upgrade its Monroe Meter Station in Snohomish County, Washington by 
abandoning existing meter facilities and appurtenances and constructing 
and operating upgraded replacement facilities to accommodate a request 
by Puget Sound Energy, Inc. Formerly Washington Natural Gas Company, 
for additional delivery capacity authorized in blanket certificate 
issued in Docket No. CP82-433-000, all as more fully set forth in the 
request on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Northwest proposes to remove the two existing 1-inch regulators, 
the existing 3-inch turbine meter and appurtenances and install two 2-
inch regulators, two 4-inch turbine meters, a 750,000 Btu per hour line 
heater and appurtenances at the Monroe Meter Station.
    Northwest states the proposed upgrade will increase the maximum 
design capacity of the meter station from 1,696 Dth per day at 150 psig 
to approximately 6,880 Dth per day at 150 psig, as limited by the 
meters or to approximately 10,800 Dth per day at 250 psig, as limited 
by the regulators.
    The total cost of the proposed facility upgrade at the Monroe Meter 
Station is estimated to be approximately $194,100, which would be 
reimbursed by Puget Sound Energy, Inc. Pursuant to a Facilities 
Agreement dated June 16, 1997.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If

shall be deemed to be authorized
