    Take notice that on July 10, 1998, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No. CP98-660-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 
157.212 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212, 157.216) for authorization to upgrade 
an existing delivery point located in O'Brien County, Iowa, to provide 
incremental natural gas service to MidAmerican Energy Company (MidAm), 
under Northern's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-401-000 
\1\ pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set

public inspection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See, 20 FERC para. 62,410 (1982).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Northern states that it requests authority to upgrade the existing 
delivery point at an estimated cost of $47,000 to provide incremental 
natural gas service to MidAm under currently effective throughput 
service agreements. Estimated incremental volumes proposed to be 
delivered to MidAm at this delivery point will be 695 MMBtu on a peak 
day and 62, 781 MMBtu on an annual basis.
    Northern states that the volumes to be delivered to the MidAm after 
the request do not exceed the total volumes authorized prior to the 
request. The proposed activity is not prohibited by Northern's existing 
tariff and Northern has sufficient capacity to accommodate the changes 
proposed herein without detriment or disadvantage to Northern's other 
customers.
    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 358.214) 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and not withdrawn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.

Acting Secretary.
