[Docket No. CP98-656-000]


Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

July 14, 1998.
    Take notice that on July 6, 1998, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-656-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.216 
of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 
157.205 and 157.216) for authorization to modify approval previously 
received in Docket No. CP97-657-000 to abandon its Issaquah Lateral 
line, located in King County, Washington, by sale to Puget Sound 
Energy, Inc. (Puget), 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 now proposes to abandon the first 407 feet of the 6-inch 
Issaquah Lateral line by removal, and to abandon the remaining 
approximately 1.3 mile segment of the lateral by sale to Puget. 
Northwest states that the pipeline and appurtenances that are removed 
from the lateral will be scrapped, and that the remaining portion of 
the lateral will be capped and transferred to Puget.
    Northwest states that the estimated cost of removing the 407-foot 
section of the Issaquah Lateral and appurtenant facilities is estimated 
to be approximately $5,750, and that the remaining 1.3 miles of the 
lateral will be sold in place to Puget for $77,005, the approximate net 
book value.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
