[Docket No. CP99-171-000]


Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

February 1, 1999.
    Take notice that on January 22, 1999, Northwest Pipeline 
Corporation (Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, 
filed in Docket No. CP99-171-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 
and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations (18 CFR 157.205 and 
157.216) under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to abandon a 
farm tap in Douglas County, Oregon, under Northwest's blanket 
certificate authorized in Docket No. CP82-433-000, pursuant to Section 
7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Northwest proposes to abandon the Markillie No. 2 Farm Tap located 
on Northwest's Grants Pass Lateral. It is stated that the tap was 
installed in 1964 for service to a single end-user, the predecessor of 
the Avista Corporation. It is asserted that Northwest has no current 
contractual obligations to provide service through the tap, which has 
not been used since 1976. It is further asserted that the end-user has 
consented to the abandonment. Northwest estimates the cost of 
abandoning the tap at $2,300.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
