Northwest Pipeline Corp.; Request Under Blanket Authorization

May 2, 1994.
    Take notice that on April 26, 1994, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, filed in 
Docket No. CP94-379-000 a request pursuant to Sec. 157.205 of the 
Commission's Regulations to partially abandon existing facilities and 
to construct and operate replacement facilities at the Genesee Meter 
Station in Whitman County, Washington to maintain the ability to 
accommodate its existing firm maximum daily delivery obligations (MDDO) 
to The Washington Water Power Company (Water Power), a local 
distribution 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 on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection.
    Northwest proposes to replace a two-inch positive displacement 
meter at the Genesee Meter Station in Whitman County, Washington with a 
two-inch Roots meter which will decrease the maximum design delivery 
capacity of the station from 350 dth per day to approximately 185 dth 
per day at 150 psig. Northwest states that the smaller design capacity 
would be adequate to deliver the current MDDO of 128 dth per day at 
this point. Northwest states that the estimated cost of replacing the 
facilities at the Genesee Meter Station is $30,440, including the 
$2,622 cost of removing the retired facilities. Northwest indicates 
that since it initiated this project to replace obsolete equipment, 
Northwest would not require any cost reimbursement from Water Power.
    Further, Northwest states that no significant impact on Northwest's 
peak day or annual deliveries is projected from the proposed facility 
replacement. Northwest's tariff does not prohibit the modification of 
delivery point facilities and any volumes delivered to the Genesee 
delivery point would be within the authorized entitlements of any 
shipper.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
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 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the 
request. If not 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.
