existing delivery point and appurtenant facilities, initially 
constructed pursuant to Section 311(a) of the Natural Gas Policy Act, 
as a jurisdictional delivery point to provide natural gas deliveries to

proposed volumes to be delivered to US Gypsum will be within the 
currently authorized level of firm entitlement for US Gypsum pursuant 
to Northern's currently effective throughout agreements.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after

and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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