Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

November 20, 1996.
    Take notice that on November 15, 1996, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No. CP97-100-000 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 install and operate the 
Menlo #2 TBS, a new delivery point to be located in Guthrie County, 
Iowa, to accommodate incremental, interruptible natural gas deliveries 
to IES Utilities (IES) 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 it requests authority to install and operate 
the proposed delivery point to accommodate incremental, interruptible 
natural gas deliveries to IES under Northern's currently effective 
throughput service agreements with IES. Northern asserts that IES has 
requested the proposed delivery point to accommodate service to their 
customers who have not previously been served by natural gas. The 
estimated interruptible volumes proposed to be delivered to IES at the 
Menlo #2 TBS are 680 MMBtu on a peak day and 94,000 MMBtu on an annual 
basis.
    Northern states that the estimated cost to install the new delivery 
point is $87,156, and that IES will reimburse Northern for the total 
cost of constructing the proposed delivery point.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
