    2. Northwest Pipeline Corp.
    
    [Docket No. CP94-282-000]
    
        Take notice that on March 11, 1994, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
    (Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108, filed in 
    Docket No. CP94-282-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 157.211 
    of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 
    157.205 and 157.211) for authorization to construct and operate 
    facilities in Klickitat County, Washington required to implement a firm 
    transportation service for Development Associates, Inc. (DA), under the 
    blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-433-000, pursuant to 
    section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
    request which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
    inspection.
        Northwest proposes to construct and operate approximately 5.3 miles 
    of pipeline to partially loop and extend its existing Hood River 
    Lateral in Klickitat County, Washington and to construct and operate a 
    new meter station, to be named the KEP Meter Station. Northwest states 
    that the proposed facilities would be used to provide approximately 
    11,000 million Btu per day of firm transportation service to the 
    planned Klickitat Energy Partners (KEP), cogeneration facility. 
    Northwest states that the looping and other facility modification are 
    required because the capacity of the existing Hood River Lateral is 
    fully committed to deliver up to 5,909 million Btu per day at two 
    existing meter stations for the account of Northwest Natural Gas 
    Company under existing blanket agreements. It is indicated that KEP was 
    formed to develop, finance, construct and own the new KEP cogeneration 
    facility.
        It is indicated that KEP's planned cogeneration plant would have 
    53.5 megawatts of generating capacity and would consist of a natural 
    gas-fired combustion turbine, a heat recovery steam generator and three 
    steam turbines. It is also stated that KEP has contracted to sell up to 
    49.5 average megawatts of power generated at its facility to the 
    Bonneville Power Administration under a 20-year contract and that 
    process steam would be sold to a lumber company located at the proposed 
    plant site.
        Northwest states that DA has agreed with KEP to secure firm 
    transportation service from Northwest to the plant site beginning when 
    the plant commences operations, scheduled for August 1995 and for plant 
    start-up prior to that time. It is indicated that Northwest and DA have 
    modified existing transportation arrangements under Northwest's Rate 
    Schedule TF-1 to provide the requested service.
        Northwest estimates a construction cost of $3,118,100, which would 
    be installed and paid for pursuant to a facilities agreement with DA 
    and the facilities reimbursement provisions of Northwest's tariff. 
    Northwest estimates the net present value of the future revenues 
    projected to be generated as a result of the proposed facilities of 
    $4.6 million which would exceed the incremental cost of service of 
    approximately $2.9 million.
        Northwest states that no significant impact on its system peak day 
    deliveries is projected to result from the installation of the proposed 
    facilities. It is indicated that, because DA elected to extend its 
    existing firm transportation agreements with Northwest, the existing 
    firm contract delivery obligations would remain the same.
        Comment date: April 29, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
    G at the end of this notice.
    
    3. Arkla Energy Resources Co.
    
    [Docket No. CP94-278-000]
    
        Take notice that on March 10, 1994, Arkla Energy Resources Company 
    (AER), 1600 Smith Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. 
    CP94-278-000 a request pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the Commission's 
    Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) for 
    authorization to abandon and relocate certain facilities in Oklahoma 
    and Louisiana, under AER's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 
    CP82-384-000 and CP82-384-001 pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas 
    Act, all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file with 
    the Commission and open to public inspection.
        Specifically, AER proposes to (1) abandon in place 8 miles of 6-
    inch Line 634-2 and eight domestic delivery taps in Hughes County, 
    Oklahoma; and (2) abandon in place 1.9 miles of 4-inch Line FM-27 and 
    three domestic delivery taps and relocate one rural industrial tap, all 
    in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana. AER states that it proposes to cut, cap 
    and fill the abandoned pipelines with water and that it would remove 
    all above ground facilities.
        AER states that the pipelines were used to provide service to 11 
    domestic and one industrial customer of Arkansas Louisiana Gas Company 
    (ALG). AER asserts that nine domestic customers have or would convert 
    to alternate fuels and have given AER written releases. AER further 
    asserts that ALG would construct 1800 feet of plastic pipeline from its 
    existing Gulftown Rural Extension to serve the remaining two domestic 
    customers. AER would continue service to ALG's industrial customer by 
    relocating the meter and ALG would construct a distribution line to the 
    industrial customer, it is stated.
        AER maintains that it has provided notice of the proposed 
    abandonments to the Oklahoma Corporate Commission and the Louisiana 
    Public Service Commission.
        Comment date: April 29, 1994, in accordance with Standard Paragraph 
    G at the end of this notice.

    intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the
