Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application To Abandon

February 11, 1998.
    Take notice that on February 6, 1998, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed under 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act, for authority to abandon by sale 
to Transok, Inc. (Transok) 37 miles of 8 and 16-inch pipeline and 
dehydration facilities in Custer and Roger Mills Counties, Oklahoma. 
Northern proposes to sell the facilities to Transok for $3,000,000. 
Northern's request is more fully set forth in the application on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically Natural proposes to sell:
    1. 14 miles of Northern's 8-inch line extending from the outlet of 
the Diamond Shamrock Plant located in Section 5, Township 15N, Range 
21W, Roger Mills County, Oklahoma to, and including the Redmoon Dehy 
yard located in Section 27, Township 14N, Range 20W, in Custer County, 
Oklahoma.
    2. 23 miles of Northern's 16-inch line extending from the Northern/
Transok interconnect in Section 33, Township 13N, Range 17W, to a point 
in Section 14, Township 12N, Range 14W all in Custer County, Oklahoma.
    3. All farm taps, interconnecting points, delivery points and 
appurtenant facilities located on the subject facilities. All receipt 
points and delivery points located along the length of the facilities.
    Northern states that after abandonment Northern's ``Point Catalog'' 
will be revised to reflect the elimination of the points associated 
with the facilities being sold. Northern states further, that its 
transportation customers will then nominate transportation service at 
the interconnect points between Transok's newly acquired facilities and 
Northern's transmission facilities.
    Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference 
to said application should on or before March 4, 1998, file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., 
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance 
with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission 
will be considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be 
taken but will not serve to make the Protesters parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to 
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion to 
intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held wihtout further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds 
that permission and approval of the proposed abandonment are required 
by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to 
intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission on its own motion 
believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of such 
hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
