Northern Natural Gas Co.; Notice of Amendment to Application

October 17, 1994.
    Take notice that on October 7, 1994, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed an 
amendment (Amendment) to its original application in Docket No. CP94-
608-000 which was filed pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act 
for an order permitting and approving the abandonment by sale to Enron 
Gathering Company (EGC), a wholly owned subsidiary of Enron Operations 
Corp., certain compression, dehydrating, delivery point and pipeline 
facilities, with appurtenances, located in various counties in Texas, 
Oklahoma, Kansas, Wyoming and Colorado and services rendered thereby. 
Also, in its original application, Northern requests approval 
concurrent with the conveyance of the facilities to EGC to abandon 
certain agreements and services. Northern states that the Amendment: 
(1) Reflects changes in the Amended and Restated Contract for the 
Purchase and Sale of Assets, dated September 23, 1994, (Amended 
Contract); (2) clarifies certain elements of the original application; 
and (3) updated certain exhibits with additional information, all as 
more fully set forth in the amendment which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Northern states that it is amending the application to divide it 
into four parts, identifying the facilities on the basis of geographic 
production areas and requests that each partial assignment made by EGC 
to its four affiliates be given a separate subdocket to facilitate 
review along the geographic lines associated with each affiliate taking 
assignment from EGC. Northern indicates that, by assignments dated 
September 23, 1994, EGC has assigned the gathering facilities generally 
located in: (1) The Anadarko production area to Enron Anadarko 
Gathering Corp. (EAGC); (2) the Hugoton production area to Enron 
Gathering Limited Partnership (EGLP); (3) the Permian production area 
to Enron Permian Gathering Inc. (EPGI), and; (4) the Rocky Mountain 
region to Enron Mountain Gathering Inc. (EMGI). Northern states that, 
pursuant to the Amended Contract, EGC has made partial assignments of 
the gathering facilities to the four separate and distinct regional 
entities due to expressions of interest by third parties to purchase 
certain of these assets from EGC.
    In the Amendment, Northern states that it is also refiling three 
large scale maps to make changes and clarifications to symbols, 
locations and functions of facilities identified on the maps. Further, 
Northern states that it is adding two delivery points on the Brewer 
system in the Hugoton production area located in Texas County, Oklahoma 
and the Jackson B#1 delivery point in the Anadarko production area 
located in Hansford County, Texas. Also, Northern is deleting the 
Clinton Oil Company delivery point from its list of delivery points 
since it is located on a transmission pipeline that is not included in 
the facilities to be abandoned, it is indicated.
    Northern states that it is supplementing Exhibit W to replace a 
notice of termination of Rate Schedule T-5 with a consent letter to 
terminate Rate Schedule T-5 between Northern and Mobil Oil Corporation. 
Also, Northern states it is amending Exhibit U to delete its request to 
abandon Northern's Rate Schedule X-38 since the abandonment 
authorization has been requested in a separate proceeding.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said amendment should on or before November 7, 1994, 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. All persons who have heretofore filed need not file 
again.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
