in Docket No. CP97-585-000 a request pursuant to Section 157.205, and

point to provide fuel for its plant. Northern further asserts that the 
estimated volumes proposed to be delivered to NitroTec at the delivery 
point are 1,000 MMBtu on a peak day and 50,000 MMBtu on an annual 
basis. Northern indicates that the estimated cost to install the 
delivery point is $20,450 for which NitroTec will reimburse Northern.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the 
issuance of the intent 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 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 activities 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and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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.
