[Docket No. CP98-597-000]


Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

June 16, 1998.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
