Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Proposed Change in FERC 
Gas Tariff

November 2, 1995.
    Take notice that on October 31, 1995, Northwest Pipeline 
Corporation (Northwest) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, the following tariff sheets with a proposed effective date of 
November 1, 1995:

Third Revised Volume No. 1

Second Revised Sixth Revised Sheet No. 5
First Revised Fifth Revised Sheet No. 5-A
Second Revised Fifth Revised Sheet No. 8

Original Volume No. 2

Second Revised Twentieth Revised Sheet No. 2
First Revised Fifteenth Revised Sheet No. 2.1
First Revised Nineteenth Revised Sheet No. 2-A

    Northwest states that the purpose of this filing is to place into 
effect a $1,000,000 rate reduction pending final resolution of the 
general rate proceeding in this docket. The rate reduction is being 
made in conjunction with the filing of a Joint Offer of Settlement 
(``Settlement'') that is proposed to resolve, or put in place 
procedures to resolve, all issues in this docket. Northwest anticipates 
filing the Settlement with the Presiding Administrative Law Judge on or 
around November 6, 1995. As a part of the Settlement, Northwest is 
classifying $3,000,000 annually to the commodity charge component of 
its transportation rates for the period of November 1, 1995 through 
January 31, 1996. The effect of the cost classification is to increase 
the commodity charges and decrease the reservation charges for 
Northwest's transportation rates. The instant filing reflects the 
changes that result from the classification change and reduces the 
overall cost of service underlying Northwest's transportation rates as 
set forth above. Other rate changes contemplated by the Settlement will 
not be put into place until a final order approving the Settlement has 
been issued.
    Northwest states that a copy of this filing has been served upon 
all intervenors in Docket No. RP94-220.
    Any person desiring to protest said filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Sections 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. All such protests should 
be filed on or before November 9, 1995. 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 proceeding. Copies of 
this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for 
public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
