Take notice that on October 2, 1998, Northwest Pipeline Corporation (Northwest), 295 Chipeta Way, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158, filed in Docket No. CP98-554-001 an amendment to its application filed May 15, 1998, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for authorization to revise the facility requirements and update the associated costs and rates for its proposed Columbia River Gorge Expansion Project, all as more fully set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Specifically, Northwest proposes not install the new compressor cylinder unloader pockets at the Washougal Compressor Station, as originally [[Page 55594]] proposed, and to revise the original cost estimate from $17,029,000 to an approximate estimate of $18,567,000. All other segments of the original proposal would not change. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with reference to said application should on or before October 30, 1998, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 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. Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given. Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will be unnecessary for Northwest to appear or be represented at the hearing. Linwood A. Watson, Jr., Acting Secretary.
