Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

July 21, 1995.
    Take notice that on July 17, 1995, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No. CP95-623-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 
157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to upgrade facilities at an 
existing delivery point in Columbia County, Wisconsin, under Northern's 
blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-401-000 pursuant to 
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
request that is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Northern proposes to upgrade the Portage Town Border Station #1 in 
order to accommodate increased deliveries Wisconsin Power & Light 
Company (WP&L) under Northern's currently effective throughout service 
agreements. It is stated that WP&L has requested the upgrade of the 
delivery point to accommodate growth of gas requirements in the area. 
It is asserted that Northern would use the upgraded delivery point for 
the delivery of up to 9,613 MMBtu equivalent of natural gas on a peak 
day and 1,956,013 MMBtu equivalent on an annual basis. It is further 
asserted that Northern is presently using the delivery point for the 
delivery of up to 6,113 MMBtu equivalent on a peak day and 678,513 
MMBtu equivalent on an annual basis. It is explained that the proposed 
increase would be 3,500 MMBtu equivalent on a peak day and 1,277,500 on 
an annual basis. It is stated that the volumes to be delivered would 
not exceed the total volumes presently delivered to WP&L. The 
construction cost is estimated at $166,898. It is stated that WP&L will 
reimburse Northern in the amount of $154,159. Northern states that it 
has sufficient capacity to render the proposed service without 
detriment or disadvantage to its other existing customers and that its 
tariff does not prohibit the proposed upgrade of a delivery point.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
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 Sec. 157.205 of the 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and 
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 Natural Gas Act.

Acting Secretary.
