Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of Tariff Filing

August 8, 2003.
    Take notice that on August 5, 2003, Questar Pipeline Company 
(Questar) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First 
Revised Volume No. 1, Fifth Revised Sheet No. 169, to be effective 
September 5, 2003.
    Questar states that it is proposing to update 10.5(b) to the 
General Terms and Conditions of part 3 of its tariff to be more 
consistent with the economic and operational conditions of open-access 
storage service and to promote efficient utilization of Questar's Clay 
Basin storage capacity. Under Questar's proposal, FSS shippers will be 
notified at least six months prior to their contract expiration date to 
withdraw their remaining working gas or to transfer it to another Clay 
Basin storage or park and loan account.
    Questar states that in light of the flexibility that its tariff 
provides, there are ample opportunities for shippers to withdraw their 
gas or make other arrangements for disposition of their gas from the 
Clay Basin storage reservoir prior to the time of contract.
    Under its proposal, Questar states that it will, within two 
business days after expiration or termination of the service agreement, 
hold a bid period of ten days to sell, at the highest rate per Dth, any 
gas remaining in the FSS shipper's account. Questar asserts that any 
remaining gas unsold after the bid period will be subsequently sold on 
a first-come, first-served basis. Questar explains that upon receipt of 
payment from all sales, proceeds will be distributed to the shipper 
less any administrative costs incurred by Questar. Questar further 
explains that each purchasing shipper will have 15 days to withdraw or 
transfer its gas to a storage or park and loan account after payment 
has been received by Questar. Questar believes that these changes 
balance its needs with those of its customers.
    Questar states that a copy of this filing has been served upon its 
customers, the Public Service Commission of Utah and the Public Service 
Commission of Wyoming.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with Sec.  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. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link.
