Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

February 7, 1996.
    Take notice that on February 1, 1996, Northwest Pipeline 
Corporation (Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, 
filed in Docket No. CP96-167-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205, 157.211 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211 and 157.216) for authorization 
to abandon certain facilities at the Glenns Ferry Meter Station in 
Elmore County, Idaho and to construct and operate upgraded replacement 
facilities at this station to more efficiently accommodate existing 
firm maximum daily delivery obligations at this delivery point to 
Intermountain Gas Company under Northwest's blanket certificate issued 
in Docket No. CP82-433-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas 
Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Northwest states that since the existing regulators can not 
efficiently accommodate the existing peak hourly flow rates, it 
proposes to upgrade the Glenns Ferry Meter Station by replacing the two 
existing 1-inch regulators and appurtenances with two new 1-inch 
regulators and appurtenances.
    In addition, Northwest states that, as a result of this 
replacement, the maximum design capacity of the meter station will 
increase from 1,117 Dth per day (as limited by the existing regulators) 
to approximately 1,867 Dth per day at 150 psig (as limited by the 
existing meters).
    Northwest also states that no abandonment of service will occur and 
no impact on Northwest's system peak day or annual deliveries is 
projected to result from the proposed facility replacements at the 
Glenns Ferry Meter Station.
    Northwest further states that the total cost of the proposed 
facility replacement at the Glenns Ferry Meter Station is estimated to 
be approximately $16,600; comprised of $15,600 for installation of the 
new facilities and $1,000 for removal of the old facilities.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rue 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 
the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a 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 Natural Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
