Northwest Pipeline Corp.; Request Under Blanket Authorization

July 1, 1994.
    Take notice that on June 20, 1994, Northwest Pipeline Corporation 
(Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, filed in 
Docket No. CP94-618-000 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, and 157.211) for authorization to abandon 
certain obsolete facilities at the Connell Meter Station in Whitman 
County, Washington, and to construct and operate replacement facilities 
at this station to maintain the ability to accommodate its existing 
firm maximum daily delivery obligations to The Washington Water Power 
Company (Water Power) 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 replace the existing obsolete 4-inch positive 
displacement meter with a new 4-inch turbine meter at the Connell Meter 
Station. Northwest also proposes to abandon the operation of the 
existing 4-inch orifice meter at this station by removing the recorder 
and utilizing this second meter run only as a by-pass for the meter 
station. Northwest states the proposed modification will result in a 
decrease in the maximum design delivery capacity of the meter station 
from 4,700 Dth per day to approximately 3,433 Dth per day at a pressure 
of 150 psig, a capacity still adequate to accommodate existing delivery 
obligations to Water Power. Northwest further states that the total net 
of replacing the described facilities at the Connell Meter Station is 
estimated to be approximately $104,750.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
