    Take notice that on November 17, 1997, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), P.O. Box 3330, Omaha, Nebraska 68103-0330, filed in Docket 
No. CP98-93-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205, 157.212, and 
157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 
CFR 157.205, 157.211, 157.216) for authorization to upgrade an existing 
delivery point, located in Wabasha County, Minnesota, to accommodate 
natural gas deliveries to Northern States Power Company-Minnesota 
(NSP), 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 upgrade an existing delivery point consisting 
of the replacement of the meter modules, located in Wabasha County, 
Minnesota, to accommodate natural gas deliveries to NSP under currently 
effective throughput service agreements. Northern asserts that NSP has 
requested the upgrade of the delivery point to provide increased 
natural gas service to the Lake City #1 town border station.
    Northern declares the estimated peak day and annual volumes would 
be increased from 3,443 MMBtu to 3,620 MMBtu and from 513,972 MMBtu to 
524,250 MMBtu, respectively. Northern states that the estimated cost to 
upgrade the delivery point is $25,000.
    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 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
