Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

October 1, 1996.
    Take notice that on September 10, 1996, Northern Natural Gas 
Company (Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-
1000, filed and supplemented on September 26, 1996, in Docket No. CP96-
777-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 157.212 and 157.216 of 
the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 
157.212, 157.216) for authorization to upgrade two existing delivery 
points located in Sarpy County, Nebraska and Polk County, Iowa 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 two existing delivery points. Northern 
also requests authorization to retire the meters and appurtenant 
facilities associated with the subject delivery points. Northern states 
that no throughput service is being abandoned. The upgrade will 
accommodate increased natural gas deliveries to UtiliCorp United, Inc. 
(UCU). Northern asserts that UCU has requested the increased service at 
the delivery points to accommodate growth in the area.
    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 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
