[Docket No. CP97-661-000]


Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

July 31, 1997.
    Take notice that on July 24, 1997, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), P.O. Box 58900, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158-0900, filed in 
Docket No. CP97-661-000 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 
construct and operate modified replacement facilities and abandon 
certain obsolete facilities located in Yakima County, Washington, under 
Northwest's certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-433-000, pursuant to 
Section 7(c) 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 modify the Yakima Firing Center Meter 
Station, located in Yakima County, Washington, by replacing the two 
existing 1-inch regulators with two new 1-inch regulators, the existing 
4-inch positive displacement meter with a new 3-inch turbine meter, the 
existing 30,000 Btu per hour heater with a new 100,000 Dth per hour 
heater, and the existing 2 x 3 relief valve with a new 2 x 3 full bore 
relief valve and appurtenances. Northwest declares as a result of the 
described modifications, the maximum design capacity of the meter 
station will increase from approximately 483 Dth per day to 
approximately 1,222 Dth per day at 150 psig, as limited by the 
regulators. Northwest asserts the modifications will more efficiently 
accommodate existing firm maximum daily delivery obligations at this 
delivery point to Cascade Natural Gas Corporation.
    Northwest states that the total cost of the proposed facility 
replacements at the Yakima Firing Center Meter Station is estimated to 
be $101,375, comprised of $98,375 for installation of new facilities 
and $3,000 for removal of old facilities.
    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.
