Northwest states that the Thomas Bullock Tap facilities originally were installed to deliver natural gas to Intermountain for distribution to the Thomas Bullock service station, café and motel in the vicinity of McCammon, Idaho. Northwest indicates that it currently has no contractual obligation to make deliveries at this point, and made its last deliveries to this point on May 9, 2006. Northwest avers that Intermountain has reconfigured its distribution facilities to serve the subject end-users from Northwest's nearby McCammon Meter Station delivery point in order to accommodate landowner plans to develop the land where the Thomas Bullock Tap facilities are located.

Northwest contends that Intermountain, the only customer served by the Thomas Bullock Tap during the past twelve months, has provided its written consent to the abandonment.

Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days after the 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 Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request.

If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to section 7 of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 NGA.
