Company (Kern River), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108, 
filed in Docket No. CP99-313-000, an application pursuant to section 7 
of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), requesting approval to upgrade its Blue

    Kern River proposes to upgrade the Blue Diamond Meter Station by 
adding a third 12-inch turbine meter and appurtenances. It is stated 
that the maximum design capacity of the meter station for delivery to 
the local distribution system of Southwest Gas Corporation (Southwest) 
will increase from 338,000 Mcf per day to approximately 507,000 Mcf per 
day. Kern River states that the total cost of the proposed upgrade at 
the Blue Diamond Meter Station is estimated to be approximately 
$102,000. It is asserted that the total actual cost of the upgrade plus 
the associated income tax gross-up will be reimbursed by Southwest.
    Any person or the Commission 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 285.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the NGA (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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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 NGA.
