[Docket No. CP97-739-000]


Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

September 15, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 9, 1997, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No. CP97-739-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205 and 
157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 
157.205 and 157.212) for authorization to install and operate a new 
delivery point in Douglas County, Minnesota, to accommodate 
interruptible natural gas deliveries to Minnegasco, a Division of NorAm 
Energy Corporation. Northern makes such request under its blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-140-000 pursuant to Section 7 of 
the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Northern proposes to identify the new delivery point as Alexandria 
#2 TBS, and states that the new delivery point will be located in the 
same plant yard as Northern's existing Alexandria #1 TBS. Northern 
asserts that Minnegasco has requested the proposed delivery point to 
accommodate service for peak shaving pad gas requirements. Northern 
states its intent to deliver up to 120 MMBtu of natural gas on a peak 
day and 840 MMBtu annually, to Minnegasco under currently effective 
service agreement(s). It is stated that the end-use of the gas will be 
for commercial, industrial and residential purposes.
    Northern estimates the cost of the proposed facilities to be 
$12,000 and states that such facility cost will be reimbursed.
    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 Sec. 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
