Northern Border Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

June 11, 1999.
    Take notice that on June 7, 1999, Northern Border Pipeline Company 
(Northern Border), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, 
filed in Docket No. CP99-548-000, a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) for authorization to construct and 
operate certain interconnect facilities as a new delivery point 
(Cordova delivery point) to MidAmerican Energy Company (MidAmerican), 
all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission 
and open to public inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at 
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Specifically, Northern Border would construct and operate a 16-inch 
tee and valve and a single 10-inch ultrasonic meter and associated 
piping, valves, RTU, and buildings to serve as a delivery point to 
MidAmerican in Rock Island County, Illinois. Northern Border states 
that the estimated cost of the proposed facilities is $1.4 million.
    Northern Border further states the volumes to be delivered at the 
proposed delivery point are volumes currently being transported by 
Northern Border. Northern Border will deliver to MidAmerican up to 
94,800 Mcf on a peak day and an estimated 23 Bcf annually, it is 
stated. Northern Border further states that the natural gas volumes 
delivered at the Cordova delivery point will be used to serve a new 
power plant. Further, Northern states that there will 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 will be de minimis.
    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,

[[Page 32491]]

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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.

Secretary.
