[Docket No. CP96-110-000]


Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

December 21, 1995.
    Take notice that on December 18, 1995, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No. CP96-110-000 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 construct and operate 
delivery point facilities in Lancaster County, Nebraska, to accommodate 
deliveries of natural gas to UtiliCorp United, Inc. (UCU), 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 construct and operate the delivery point and 
400 feet of 2-inch branchline for UCU to make deliveries to the Wanek 
Town Border Station #1 to accommodate the growth of residential gas 
requirements in the area. It is stated that the facilities would be 
used for the delivery of up to 63 MMBtu equivalent of natural gas on a 
peak day and 13,000 MMBtu equivalent on an annual basis. It is 
explained that these volumes will be the result of a realignment of 
existing firm entitlement contracted under Northern's throughput 
service agreements with UCU. Northern estimates the construction cost 
for the facilities at $47,500. It is asserted that the deliveries 
through the proposed facilities would not increase UCU's existing firm 
entitlement from Northern. It is further asserted that Northern's 
tariff does not prohibit additional delivery points and that Northern 
has sufficient capacity to accomplish the deliveries without detriment 
or disadvantage to Northern's other customers.
    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 
not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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 Natural Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
