Northern Natural Gas Co., Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas 
Tariff

February 1, 1995.
    Take notice that on January 27, 1995, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), tendered for filing, under Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA), notice of the termination of gathering services offered over 
facilities located in Crockett County, Texas, effective February 28, 
1995. Northern states that on December 19, 1994, the Commission 
authorized it to abandon, by sale to Peach Ridge Pipeline, Inc. (Peach 
Ridge), the Crockett County facilities, and declared that these 
facilities, once acquired by Peach Ridge, would be exempt from 
Commission regulation under Section 1(b) of the NGA (69 FERC 61,354 
(1994)). Northern states it was directed to make the instant filing by 
the December 19, 1994 order.
    Northern states that it is abandoning the facilities because, as a 
result of restructuring under Order No. 636, Northern no longer has a 
merchant function and does not require these facilities to access 
supplies to fulfill customer obligations. Regarding twelve customers 
who received gathering service over the Crockett County facilities 
(listed in the filing), Northern states they have been mailed the 
instant notice of termination of services, and that notice of the 
deletion of receipt and delivery points on the Crockett County 
facilities has been posted on Northern's Electronic Bulletin Board. 
Finally, Northern has listed those customers which have entered into 
private contracts for continued service with Peach Ridge. Although not 
all of the twelve customers have entered into such contracts, Northern 
states there were no outstanding protests in the abandonment 
proceeding; thus Northern is not required to file a default contract.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426, in accordance with Section 385.214 and 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such protests should be filed 
on or before February 8, 1995. 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 motion to intervene. Copies of 
this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for 
public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
