[Docket No. CP97-773-000]


Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

October 3, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 26, 1997, Questar Pipeline Company 
(Questar), 79 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, filed in 
Docket No. CP97-773-000 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 authorization to construct and operate new 
delivery point facilities in Rio Blanco County, Colorado, to deliver 
natural gas from Questar's Main Line No. 68 to Conoco, Inc. (Conoco), 
under Questar's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-491-000 
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.
    Questar states that natural gas volumes would be delivered by 
Questar to Conoco at the proposed new Conoco Dragon Trail Delivery 
Point. Conoco would process the natural gas and then redeliver 
thermally equivalent volumes of processed natural gas to Questar. 
Questar states that the processed natural gas would then flow 
downstream on Questar's interstate transmission system.
    The Conoco Dragon Trail delivery point facilities proposed to be 
installed include: (1) One 33 MMcf per day separator, (2) one 6-inch 
diameter Daniel Senior meter run, (3) four 6-inch diameter Rockwell 
plug valves, (4) two 6-inch diameter Judco check valves, (5) 
approximately 150 feet of 6-inch diameter surface lateral and 
miscellaneous fittings, (6) one 14-inch diameter Plidco hot-tapping 
saddle, and (7) one 6-inch diameter Orbit ball valve. Questar states 
that the total estimated cost of the Conoco Dragon Trail Delivery Point 
is $120,000. Construction of the proposed delivery point will be 
performed entirely within the confines of Questar's existing M.L. No. 
68 right of way. The ground disturbance associated with facility 
installations will be limited solely to the tap on Questar's existing 
M.L. No. 68. All other construction related to the proposed facilities 
will consist of above-ground installations.
    Questar states that it proposed to deliver, via the Conoco Dragon 
Trail Delivery Point, natural gas volumes of up to 20,000 Dth per day. 
The maximum capacity of the delivery point facilities is 30,000 Dth per 
day. Questar states that this proposal is not prohibited by its 
existing tariff, that there is sufficient capacity to accomplish 
deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to other customers, that 
its peak day and annual deliveries will not be effected and that the 
total volumes delivered will not exceed the total volumes authorized 
prior to this request.
    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 therefore, 
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.
