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

June 16, 1998.
    Take notice that on June 10, 1998, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Third 
Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, to become effective 
July 11, 1998:

First Revised Sheet No. 16
Seventh Revised Sheet No. 24
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 104
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 108
Seventh Revised Sheet No. 200
Sixth Revised Sheet No. 242
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 274
Original Sheet No. 274-A
Fourth Revised Sheet No. 275
Second Revised Sheet No. 276
Third Revised Sheet No. 277
Second Revised Sheet No. 278
Original Sheet No. 278-A

    Northwest states that the purpose of this filing is to propose 
changes to the way in which it awards available capacity. Section 25 of 
the General Terms and Conditions of Northwest's tariff, ``Right of 
First Refusal; Posting of Available Capacity,'' currently pertains only 
to capacity that becomes available under expiring or terminating 
agreements. Proposed Section 25, which is now entitled ``Available 
capacity,'' has been revised and expanded to establish a new procedure 
for posting, bidding and awarding unsubscribed capacity instead of 
awarding such capacity on a first-come, first-served basis. Section 25 
also has been expanded to establish the procedures Northwest will use 
to reserve capacity for future expansion projects. Corresponding 
changes also have been made to related tariff sheets.
    Northwest states that a copy of this filing has been served upon 
Northwest's customers and interested state regulatory commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's 
Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed as 
provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 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 proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must file a 
motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room.

Acting Secretary.
