November 27, 1995.
    Take notice that on November 20, 1995, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), P.O. Box 3330, Omaha, Nebraska, 68103-0330, filed in Docket 
No. CP96-76-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205, and 157.216(b) of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 
and 157.216(b)) for approval to abandon certain small volume measuring 
station facilities under Northern's blanket certificate authority 
issued in Docket No. CP82-401-000, pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as more fully set forth in the request which 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Northern proposes to abandon a total of 140 measuring station 
facilities, located in Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South 
Dakota, all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the 
Commission. Northern states that the facilities to be abandoned are 
jurisdictional facilities under the NGA and were constructed pursuant 
to superseded 2.55 regulations, budget, or blanket authority, depending 
on the year the facilities were originally placed in-service. Northern 
indicates that Peoples Natural Gas Company's end-users have requested 
the removal of these stations from their property.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.214), a motion to intervene 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 activities shall be deemed to be authorized effective the 
day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed 
and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 
the instant request shall be treated as an application for
