[Docket No. CP98-396-000]


Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

May 5, 1998.
    Take notice that on April 28, 1998, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Applicant), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah, 84108, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-396-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205, 157.211, 
and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(187 CFR 157.205, 157.211, and 157.216) for approval to abandon an 
obsolete meter which has failed at the Georgetown Meter Station in Bear 
Lake County, Idaho, and to construct and operate a smaller replacement 
meter at this station to maintain the ability to accommodate existing 
firm deliveries for Intermountain Gas Company's affiliate, IGI 
Resources, under Applicant's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 
CP82-433-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), 
all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Applicant proposes to modify the Georgetown Meter Station by 
removing the three-inch positive displacement meter and appurtenances 
and installing a new two-inch rotary meter and appurtenances. Applicant 
asserts that as a result of this modification, the maximum design 
capacity of the meter station will decrease from 3,033 Dth per day to 
approximately 2,000 Dth per day at 150 psig. It is further asserted 
that the modified station will be adequate to accommodate historically 
experienced flow rates as well as the existing maximum daily delivery 
obligations at this delivery point. Applicant states that the total 
cost of the proposed facility replacement at the Georgetown meter 
Station is estimated to be $15,750. Applicant indicates that because 
this expenditure is necessary to replace a failed and obsolete meter, 
Applicant will not require reimbursement by Intermountain.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission 's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.214), a motion to intervene and pursuant to Sec. 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 activities 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and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
