[Docket No. CP07-100-000]


Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

March 14, 2007.
    Take notice that on March 8, 2007, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, filed in 
Docket No. CP07-100-000, a prior notice request pursuant to sections 
157.205 and 157.208 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
regulations under the Natural Gas Act for authorization of the Windy 
Creek pipeline replacement and lowering project on Northwest's Eugene 
to Grants Pass Lateral, located in Douglas County, Oregon, all as more 
fully set forth in the application, which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may also be viewed 
on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter 
the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket number 
field to access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or TYY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, Northwest proposes to replace approximately 100 feet 
of existing 10-inch diameter pipeline with approximately 100 feet of 
new 10-inch diameter pipeline. Northwest states that the new pipeline 
segment will be installed at a lower depth in Northwest's existing 
right-of-way and the existing pipeline segment will be abandoned by 
removal. Northwest asserts that the section of the lateral has become 
partially exposed by erosion within the banks of Windy Creek, making a 
replacement necessary to maintain safety and integrity of the lateral. 
Northwest estimates the cost of the project to be approximately 
$300,000.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Gary 
K. Kotter, Manager, Certificates and Tariffs, Northwest Pipeline 
Corporation, P.O. Box 58900, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158-0900, or call 
at (801) 584-7117.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 60 days after the 
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 Sec.  157.205 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 
157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the 
time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be 
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for 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protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time 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.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

Philis J. Posey,
Acting Secretary.
