    Specifically, KNI proposed to install the following eighteen 
delivery points to KNE:
    1. Two delivery points in Thayer County, Nebraska each to deliver 
approximately 29 Mcf of natural gas on a peak day and 950 Mcf annually 
to serve separate irrigation customers, at an estimated facility cost 
of $1,810 each.
    2. A delivery point in Gosper County, Nebraska to deliver

    6. Two delivery points in Fillmore County, Nebraska to deliver gas

    In addition, KNI also proposed to install a delivery point to MAPC.

636 Mcf of natural gas on a peak day and 115,000 Mcf annually to serve 
an industrial customer, at an estimated facility cost of $30,000.
    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 Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention 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 activity 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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
