Take notice that on June 10, 1998, Northwest Pipeline Corporation (Northwest), tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, to become effective July 11, 1998: First Revised Sheet No. 16 Seventh Revised Sheet No. 24 Fourth Revised Sheet No. 104 Fourth Revised Sheet No. 108 Seventh Revised Sheet No. 200 Sixth Revised Sheet No. 242 Fourth Revised Sheet No. 274 Original Sheet No. 274-A Fourth Revised Sheet No. 275 Second Revised Sheet No. 276 Third Revised Sheet No. 277 Second Revised Sheet No. 278 Original Sheet No. 278-A Northwest states that the purpose of this filing is to propose changes to the way in which it awards available capacity. Section 25 of the General Terms and Conditions of Northwest's tariff, ``Right of First Refusal; Posting of Available Capacity,'' currently pertains only to capacity that becomes available under expiring or terminating agreements. Proposed Section 25, which is now entitled ``Available capacity,'' has been revised and expanded to establish a new procedure for posting, bidding and awarding unsubscribed capacity instead of awarding such capacity on a first-come, first-served basis. Section 25 also has been expanded to establish the procedures Northwest will use to reserve capacity for future expansion projects. Corresponding changes also have been made to related tariff sheets. Northwest states that a copy of this filing has been served upon Northwest's customers and interested state regulatory commissions. Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed as provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
