    Questar Pipeline Company; Notice of Application
    
    November 10, 1997.
        Take notice that on November 3, 1997, Questar Pipeline Company 
    (Questar), 180 East First South Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111, 
    filed in Docket No. CP98-66-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) 
    of the Natural Gas Act for authorization to construct and operate a 
    compressor station in Carbon County, Utah, all as more fully set forth 
    in the application on file with the Commission and open to public 
    inspection.
        Questar states that the Oak Spring Compressor Station would be used 
    to boost main-line pressure and provide additional firm capacity of 
    52,000 dt equivalent of natural gas per day on Questar's system. It is 
    asserted that Questar would install a 5,940 horsepower compressor and 2 
    20-inch diameter pipelines, each about 605 feet in length, to connect 
    the compressor to Questar's Main Line No. 40.
        It is estimated that the cost of the facilities would be 
    $8,218,000. Questar requests rolled-in rate treatment and requests that 
    it not be placed at risk for the recovery of the costs associated with 
    the compressor station. Questar explains that it held an open season 
    between July 2, and July 17, 1997, to assess customer interest in the 
    Oak Spring Compressor Station, and that the results of the open season 
    clearly indicate that and that the results of the open season clearly 
    indicate that sufficient market demand exists to support construction 
    of the

    compressor station. Questar further explains that it has executed 4 
    firm transportation agreements which account for 39,800 dt equivalent 
    per day at Questar's maximum reservation and commodity rates for terms 
    ranging from 1 to 20 years, including evergreen provisions.
        Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
    reference to said application should on or before December 1, 1997, 
    file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 
    20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the 
    requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 
    CFR 385.314 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
    (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be 
    considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but 
    will not serve to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any 
    person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a 
    party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in 
    accordance with the Commission's Rules.
        Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
    and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
    Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
    the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
    held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
    this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
    required herein, if the Commission or its own review of the matter 
    finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
    convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
    filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal 
    hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
        Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
    it will be unnecessary for Questar to appear or be represented at the 
    hearing.
    Lois D. Cashell,
    Secretary.
