Take notice that on September 18, 1997, Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern), P.O. Box 3330, Omaha, Nebraska 68103-0330, filed in Docket No. CP97-759-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.216) for authorization to abandon 17 small volume measuring stations, located in Iowa and Nebraska, under Northern's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-401-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Northern proposes to abandon 17 small volume measuring stations due to requests from its end-users for the removal of the measuring station from their property. Northern states the facilities to be abandoned are located in Dickinson, Lyon, and O'Brien Counties, Iowa and Dakota, Gaye, and Lancaster Counties, Nebraska. Northern asserts the facilities to be abandoned are jurisdictional facilities under the Natural Gas Act and were constructed pursuant to superseded Section 2.55 regulations, budget, or blanket authority, depending on the year the facilities were originally placed in-service. 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for [[Page 51098]] authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
