Northern Border Pipeline Company's FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised 
Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets to become effective January

Eighth Revised Sheet Number 156

    Northern Border states that it proposes to increase the Maximum 
Rate from 4.221 cents per 100 Dekatherm-Miles to 5.345 cents per 100 
Dekatherm-Miles and to increase the Minimum Revenue Credit from 2.213 
cents per 100 Dekatherm-Miles to 2.259 cents per 100 Dekatherm-Miles. 
The revised Maximum Rate and Minimum Revenue Credit are being filed in 
accordance with Northern Border's Tariff provisions under Rate Schedule 
IT-1.
    On October 15, 1996, Northern Border filed with the Commission in 
Docket No. RP96-45-000 a Stipulation and Agreement (Stipulation) in its 
rate case which when placed into effect will result in a significantly 
lower cost of service and resulting Maximum Rate under Rate Schedule 
IT-1. Once the Stipulation is effective, Northern Border will make the 
appropriate filing to effectuate a Maximum Rate based on the cost of 
service established by the terms of the Stipulation.
    Northern Border states that the herein proposed changes do not 
result in a change in Northern Border's total revenue requirement.
    Northern Border states that copies of this filing have been sent to 
all of Northern Border's contracted shippers.

file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations.
