    Northern states that it requests authority to upgrade this delivery 
point to accommodate natural gas deliveries to USEI under currently 
effective throughput service agreements. Northern asserts that USEI has 
requested the upgrade of the existing delivery point to provide 
increased natural gas service to the Al-Corn town border station. The 
estimated incremental volumes proposed to be delivered to USEI at this 
delivery point are 400 MMBtu on a peak day and 146,000 MMBtu on an 
annual basis. Northern has stated that the estimated cost to upgrade 
the delivery point is $24,500.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
