[Docket No. CP95-194-007]


Northern Border Pipeline Company; Notice of Amendment

September 18, 1998.
    Take notice that on September 17, 1998, Northern Border Pipeline 
Company (Northern Border), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 
68124-1000, filed in Docket No. CP95-194-007 an amendment pursuant to 
Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's 
regulations, to amend its certificate issued at Docket No. CP95-194-
000, et al. on August 1, 1997 in order to place certain compressor 
stations in-service prior to the in-service date of its Expansion/
Extension Project, all as more fully set forth in the amendment which 
is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Northern Border seeks to place Compressor Stations 3 
and 5 in-service at the earliest possible date in order that 
construction at Compressor Stations 2 and 4 can be completed without 
impact to existing firm shippers. Northern Border states that 
Compressor Stations 3 and 5 will be subject to the accounting treatment 
authorized in ordering paragraph (H) of the August 1 Order.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application, should on or before September 25, 1998, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
N.W., Washington, D.C. 20426, a petition to intervene or a protest in 
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (Rule 210, 211, or 214) and 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 proceedings. Any 
person wishing to become a party to the proceeding or to participate as 
a party in any hearing therein must file a petition 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, as 
amended, and the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a 
hearing will be held without further notice before the Commission, or 
its delegate, on this application if no petition to intervene is filed 
within the time required herein, if the Commission on its own review of 
the matter finds that the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity.
    If a petition for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the 
Commission on its own motion believes that an oral 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 Border to appear or be represented 
at the hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
