Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

September 24, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 8, 1997, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska, 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No. CP97-734-000 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 approval to install and operate a new 
delivery point located in Clark County, South Dakota, to accommodate 
interruptible natural gas deliveries to Northwest Public Service 
Company (NWPS), under Northern's blanket certificate authority issued 
in Docket No. CP82-401-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas 
Act (NGA), all as more fully set forth in the request which is on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Northern proposes to install and operate the proposed new delivery 
point to accommodate natural gas deliveries to NWPS under currently 
effective throughput service agreements. Northern asserts that NWPS has 
requested the proposed facility for service to four grain dryers and 
three Hutterite Colonies who have not previously been served by natural 
gas. Northern further asserts that the estimated volumes of natural gas 
to be delivered to NWPS at the proposed point are 1,020 MMBtu on a peak 
day and 52,000 MMBtu on an annual basis. Northern states that the 
estimated cost to construct the new delivery point is $67,000, which 
NWPS will reimburse Northern.
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the 
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 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and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
