Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

October 29, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 24, 1997, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No CP98-48-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 
157.212 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212 and 157.216) for authorization to 
upgrade two existing delivery points located in LaCrosse and Monroe 
Counties, Wisconsin, to accommodate natural gas deliveries to Northern 
States Power Company--Wisconsin (NSP), under Northern's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-401-000 pursuant to Section 7 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 upgrade these delivery points to accommodate 
natural gas deliveries to NSP under currently effective throughput 
service agreements.
    Northern asserts that NSP has requested the upgrade of the existing 
delivery points to provide increased natural gas service to the Fort 
McCoy #1 and LaCrosse #2 town border stations. The estimated 
incremental volumes proposed to be delivered to NSP at these delivery 
points are 3,663 MMBtu on a peak day and 330,284 MMBtu on an annual 
basis. Northern states that the estimated cost to install the delivery 
points is $210,000.
    In addition to the authorization requested herein, Northern states 
that it will construct certain branchline compression on its LaCrosse 
branchline pursuant to the automatic authorization of the blanket 
certificate and Section 157.208(a) of the Commission's Regulations.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
