DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP98-145-000]


Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

December 24, 1997.
    Take notice that on December 18, 1997, Northwest Pipeline 
Corporation (Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, 
filed in Docket No. CP98-145-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 
and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.216) for authorization to abandon by removal its 
Dr. Gambile Farm Tap (Farm Tap) located on Northwest's Grants Pass 
Lateral in Douglas County, Oregon, 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 states that the Farm Tap was originally constructed to 
deliver natural gas to The Washington Water Power Company's (Water 
Power) predecessor for service to a single customer; however, there 
have been no deliveries to the Farm Tap since October 1995. Northwest 
states that by letter dated November 12, 1997, Water Power stated that 
the Farm Tap is no longer needed and can be abandoned. Northwest states 
that it currently has no firm contractual obligations to provide 
service to the delivery point.
    Northwest proposes to abandon the Farm Tap by removing the two one-
inch regulators and related piping and all the above ground 
appurtenances at the station site, including the fence. Northwest 
states that the cost of removing the facilities will be approximately 
$1,500.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
