[Docket No. CP97-519-000]


Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

May 21, 1997.
    Take notice that on May 12, 1997, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in the above docket a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 
of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 
157.205 and 157.212) for authorization to install and operate a new 
delivery tap, located in Blackhawk County, Iowa, to accommodate natural 
gas deliveries to UtiliCorp United Inc. (UCU) under Northern's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-401-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the N.A., all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Northern proposes to install a tee and valve at the 
site of the proposed delivery tap. UCU will install a meter, construct, 
own and operate the nonjurisdictional facilities downstream of 
Northern's tap.
    Northern states that the service will be provided to UCU pursuant 
to currently effective throughput service agreement(s). It is asserted 
that the proposed volumes to be delivered for UCU at the proposed 
delivery tap are 1.5 MMBtu on a peak day and 200 MMBtu on an annual 
basis. Northern estimates the cost for constructing the proposed 
delivery tap to be $4.000. Northern states that it will be reimbursed 
for the total cost of construction.
    Northern states that the total volumes to be delivered to UCU after 
the request do not exceed the total volumes authorized prior to the 
request. Northern further states that the proposed activity is not 
prohibited by its existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity 
to accommodate the changes proposed herein without detriment or 
disadvantage to Northern's other customers.
    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 Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 
385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant 
to Section 157.205 of the Regulations under the National Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within 
the time allowed therefor, the proposed activity is deemed to be 
authorized effective on 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after 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.
