[Docket No. CP98-229-000]


Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

February 23, 1998.
    Take notice that on February 13, 1998, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed in 
Docket No. CP98-229-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to abandon by sale to K N 
Gas Gathering, Inc. (KN), certain pipeline and receipt and delivery 
point facilities, with appurtenances, located in Texas County, Oklahoma 
and Seward County, Kansas and certain services rendered thereby, all as 
more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    Northern states that it would convey to KN, facilities consisting 
of approximately 33 miles of pipeline with diameters ranging between 10 
and 24 inches, all receipt and delivery points located along the length 
of the pipelines, and all other appurtenant facilities.
    Northern states further that the facilities would be conveyed to KN 
for an estimated purchase price of $1,632,216 at the time of closing.
    Any person desiring to be heard or any person desiring to make any 
protest with reference to said application should on or before March 
16, 1998, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 
Washington, D.C. 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 and 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 protestants 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 without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that permission and approval for 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 Northern to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Acting Secretary.
