authority to expand its interstate natural-gas transmission system by 
constructing and operating 58.6 miles of 24-inch diameter pipeline and 
related facilities and modifying two existing compressor stations, 
known as the Southern System Expansion Project II (SSXP II), located in 
Carbon, Duchesne and Uintah Counties, Utah. This filing is available

various receipt points on Questar's southern interstate transmission 
system to Questar's Main Line No. 104 (ML 104) which is interconnected 
with Kern River Gas Transmission Company (Kern River) at Goshen, Utah. 
Questar has negotiated transportation service agreements for firm

month. Questar proposes to complete the proposed project and makes it 
available for service by November 1, 2007.
