certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing Northwest 
to construct and operate its ``Parachute Lateral Project'' to transport

County, Colorado; and (2) the Starkey Gulch Receipt Meter Station, 
located at E&P's Parachute plant in Garfield County, Colorado, all as 
more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the 
Commission and open for public inspection. These filings are available 
for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be 
viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the 

``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three 
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or toll free at (866) 208-3676, or for TTY,

    Any questions regarding this application may be directed to Steven 
W. Snarr, General Counsel, Northwest Pipeline Corporation, P.O. Box 
58900, Salt Lake City, Utah 84158-0900 at (801) 584-7094 or by fax at

    Northwest states that the proposed facilities will have a firm 
design capacity of 450,000 Dth per day and an estimated total cost of 
$55.1 million. In order to meet a November 2006 in-service, Northwest 
requests that the Commission issue a final certificate order by July 1, 
2006.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before the below listed comment date, file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person 
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by 
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all 
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must 
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a 
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only 
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders 
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed 
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site 
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages 
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: February 10, 2006.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
