Northern Border Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

May 21, 1997.
    Take notice that on May 15, 1997, Northern Border Pipeline Company 
(Northern Border) tendered for filing to become part of Northern Border 
Pipeline Company's FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, the 
following tariff sheets to become effective July 1, 1997:

Tenth Revised Sheet Number 156
Tenth Revised Sheet Number 157

    Northern Border proposes to decrease the Maximum Rate form 5.345 
cents per 100 Dekatherm-Miles to 5.201 cents per 100 Dekatherm-Miles 
and to increase the Minimum Revenue Credit from 2.259 cents per 100 
Dekatherm-Miles to 2.279 cents per 200 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 and applicable state 
regulatory commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Section 385.214 and Section 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. 
Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants 
parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must 
file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room.
