Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

April 10, 1996.
    Take notice that on April 1, 1996, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No. CP96-290-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 
157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to operate a delivery point, 
located in Ochiltree County, Texas, to accommodate interruptible 
natural gas deliveries to West Texas Gas, Inc. (WTG) 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 states that service will be provided to shippers for WTG 
pursuant to currently effective throughput service agreement(s). 
According to Northern, WTG has requested the proposed delivery point to 
serve an industrial customer in Ochiltree County, Texas. The proposed 
volumes to be delivered for WTG at the proposed delivery point are 60 
MMBtu on a peak day and 15,000 MMBtu on an annual basis. Northern 
estimates the construction cost to be $2,000 which WTG will reimburse 
to Northern.
    Northern states that the total volumes to be delivered to shippers 
for WTG after the request do not exceed the total volumes authorized 
prior to the request. Northern states that the proposed activity is not 
prohibited by its existing tariff and that there is sufficient capacity 
to accommodate these changes without detriment or disadvantage to its 
other customers.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of

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 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.

Secretary.
