Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

June 3, 1997.
    Take notice that on May 29, 1997, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, filed in 
docket No. CP97-552-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.216 
and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.216, 157.211) for authorization to upgrade its 
North Powder Meter Station in Union County, Oregon by abandoning 
certain existing facilities and constructing and operating upgraded 
replacement facilities 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 proposes to upgrade the North Powder Meter Station by 
removing the existing 2-inch Roots 1M-900 rotary meter and 
appurtenances and installing a new 2-inch Roots 2M-900 rotary meter and 
appurtenances. As a result of this proposed upgrade the maximum design 
capacity of the meter station will increase from approximately 187 Dth 
per day at 150 psig to approximately 350 Dth per day at 150 psig, as 
limited by the existing regulators. Northwest states that this meter 
station upgrade is necessary to accommodate a request by The Washington 
Water Power Company (Water Power) for increased delivery point capacity 
at this point for service under existing firm transportation 
agreements.
    Northwest states that the total cost of the meter station upgrade 
is estimated to be approximately $11,196 which will be reimbursed by 
Water Power.
    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 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
