Take notice that on June 5, 1998, Northwest Pipeline Corporation (Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108, filed in Docket No. CP98-597-000 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 approval to partially abandon facilities at the Soda Springs Meter Station in Caribou County, Idaho, and to construct and operate upgraded replacement facilities at this station to accommodate a request for additional delivery capabilities under authorized transportation agreements with Intermountain Gas Company's affiliate, IGI Resources, Inc., 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 proposes to upgrade the Soda Springs Meter Station by removing the four 2-inch regulators, one 4'' x 8'' relief valve and appurtenances and installing two new 3-inch regulators (with 50 percent trim), a 6'' x 8'' relief value and appurtenances. Northwest states that as a result of this upgrade, the maximum design capacity of the meter station will increase from 12,087 Dth per day at 350 psig to approximately 17,432 Dth per day at 400 psig. The total cost of the proposed facility replacement is estimated to be approximately $58,100, which will be reimbursed by Intermountain. 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 regulation 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to Section 7 of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.
