Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of Petition To Amend

September 19, 1996.
    Take notice that on September 16, 1996, Northwest Pipeline 
Corporation (Northwest), P.O. Box 58900, Salt Lake City, Utah 84108-
0900, filed in Docket No. CP96-576-001 a petition to amend its 
application filed in Docket No. CP96-576-000 to delete that portion of 
the application proposing to construct approximately 2.775 miles of 10-
inch pipeline and metering facilities in Clark County, Washington, all 
as more fully set forth in the petition which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Northwest indicates that, in the original filing submitted under 
the prior notice procedure in Docket No. CP96-576-000, it proposed to 
construct and operate approximately 2.775 miles of 10-inch pipeline and 
a new metering station in Clark County, Washington to implement a firm 
transportation service

for Washington Water Power Company (Water Power) for redelivery to a 
new electrical plant built by the Public Utility District No. 1 of 
Clark County. It is also stated that Northwest Natural Gas Company 
protested the filing citing Northwest's failure to address impacts on 
firm service reliability and an interruption of the facilities 
reimbursement provision of Northwest's tariff. Northwest states that 
the protest was not withdrawn during the 30-day reconciliation period 
provided under 157.205(g) of the Commission's Regulations. It is 
indicated that, because of adverse cost impacts to be caused by a 
construction delay, Northwest, at the request of Water Power and Inland 
Pacific Energy Services, elected to construct the facilities under the 
auspices of Section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978.
    Northwest has amended its application to delete its request to 
construct the above-mentioned facilities. No other changes are proposed 
in Northwest's original application.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said petition to amend should on or before October 10, 
1996, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, 
D.C. 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the 
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 
CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be 
considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but 
will not serve to make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any 
person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a 
party in any hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in 
accordance with the Commission's Rules.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
