(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
a request with the Commission in Docket No. CP98-160-000, pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.216(b) of the Commission's Regulations under

fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission and open to

6,588 MMBtu on an annual basis. Northern further states that the 
estimated cost to upgrade the delivery point would be $6,400.

Commission has issued this notice, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If

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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 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 NGA.
