Wasatch Energy, LLC and Northwest Pipeline Corporation; Notice of 
Joint Petition of Wasatch Energy, LLC, and Northwest Pipeline 
Corporation for Expedited Grant of Limited Waivers

January 26, 2007.
    Take notice that on January 23, 2007, pursuant to Rule 207 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, Wasatch Energy, LLC 
(Wasatch) and Northwest Pipeline Corporation (Northwest) tendered for 
filing a Joint Petition for Expedited Grant of Limited Waivers.
    Wasatch and Northwest petition the Commission for an expedited 
grant of a limited waiver, to the extent required, of: (i) The 
Commission's Order No. 636-A policy regarding the ``tying'' of gas 
delivery contracts to any extraneous conditions; (ii) the Commission's 
maximum rate cap on released capacity; (iii) applicable capacity-
release tariff provisions of Northwest and other interstate natural gas 
pipelines identified; and (iv) any further natural gas pipeline tariff 
provision or Commission policy as may be necessary. Wasatch and 
Northwest state that the requested waivers will enable them to 
permanently transfer Wasatch's portfolio of its natural gas marketing 
operations, including transportation capacity on Northwest and other 
interstate natural gas pipelines, to Wasatch's Prearranged Replacement 
Shipper or some other third-party replacement shipper who may prevail 
in a consolidated auction process supervised by Northwest. Wasatch and 
Northwest further request expedited action on the requested waivers, so 
that the transportation releases may be made effective no later than 
March 30, 2007.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). Protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken, but will not serve to make protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the date as indicated 
below. Anyone filing an intervention or protest must serve a copy of 
that document on the Applicant. Anyone filing an intervention or 
protest on or before the intervention or protest date need not serve 
motions to intervene or protests on persons other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov.
 Persons unable to file electronically should submit an 

original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
