Northern Border Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

December 3, 1999.
    Take notice that on November 30, 1999, Northern Border Pipeline 
Company (Northern Border) tendered for filing to become part of 
Northern Border Pipeline Company's FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised 
Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets to become effective January 
1, 2000:

Sixteenth Revised Sheet Number 156
Fifteenth Revised Sheet Number 157

    Northern Border proposes to increase the Maximum Rate from 3.643 
cents per 100 Dekatherm-Miles to 4.095 cents per 100 Dekatherm-Miles 
and to increase the Minimum Revenue Credit from 1.527 cents per 100 
Dekatherm-Miles to 3.095 cents per 100 Dekatherm-Miles. The Maximum 
Rate reflects Northern Border's rate case at Docket No. RP99-322-000, 
which was suspended by the Commission in its order dated June 30, 1999 
to become effective December 1, 1999. Thus, a portion of this Maximum 
Rate will be billed subject to refund. In accordance with the 
computational terms of Rate Schedule IT-1, the increase in the Minimum 
Revenue Credit (MRC) is due primarily to long term debt payments made 
during the last six months that were not incurred in the previous six 
month time-period. The revised Maximum Rate and Minimum Revenue Credit 
are being filed in accordance with Northern Border's Tariff provisions 
under Rate Schedule IT-1.
    Northern Border states that copies of this filing have been sent to 
all of Northern Border's contracted shippers an interested state 
regulatory commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with section 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 
Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestants 
parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must 
file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
