Authorization

December 14, 1998.
    Take notice that on December 7, 1998, Northern Border Pipeline 
Company (Northern Border), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 
68124-1000, filed a request with the Commission in Docket No. CP99-105-
000, pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's 
Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to 
operate an existing valve setting and to construct and operate certain 
measurement facilities as a new delivery point to the city of 
Watertown, South Dakota authorized in blanket certificate issued in 
Docket No. CP84-420-000, all as more fully set forth in the request on 
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Northern border proposes to operate an existing 4-inch valve 
setting and to construct and operate a single 4-inch turbine meter and 
associated piping, valves, RTU, and buildings to serve as a delivery 
point to the city of Watertown. The estimated cost of the proposed 
facilities is $465,000. Northern Border would be reimbursed for all 
costs incurred to constructing the proposed delivery point.
    The natural gas volumes to be delivered at the proposed delivery 
point are volumes currently being transported by Northern Border. 
Northern Border would deliver to the city of Watertown up to 15,000 Mcf 
on a peak day and an estimated 1.8 Bcf annually the natural gas volumes 
delivered at the Watertown delivery point would be used to serve the 
city of Watertown. There would not be any impact on the peak day 
capability of Northern Border's existing shippers as a result of the 
proposed interconnect and any impact on annual deliveries would be 
minimal.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If 
no protest is filed within the allowed time, 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 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 NGA.

Secretary.
