[Docket No. CP96-133-000]


Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

January 19, 1996.

    Take notice that on January 11, 1996, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
a prior notice request with the Commission in Docket No. CP96-133-000 
pursuant to Section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to upgrade an existing delivery 
point in Renville County, Minnesota, under Northern's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-401-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the request which is open to 
the public for inspection.
    Northern proposes to upgrade the existing Buffalo Lake town border 
station in Renville County to accommodate increased interruptible 
natural gas deliveries under Northern's currently effective throughput 
service agreements to Sheehan's Gas Company (Sheehan) for use at their 
ethanol plant. Northern would replace a 3-inch meter with a 4-inch 
meter. Northern would increase its natural gas deliveries to Sheehan 
from the present peak day quantity of 805 MMBtu to 1,805 MMBtu and from 
the present annual quantity of 225,568 MMBtu to 545,568 MMBtu. Northern 
states that it would pay the estimated $31,000 for the proposed upgrade 
of facilities at the Buffalo Lake town border station.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 Section 157.205 of the 
Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If 
no protest is filed within the allowed time, 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 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 NGA.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
