    Take notice that on October 4, 2000, MDU Resources Group, Inc. (MDU

exceed the following amounts:
    (1) $750,000,000 of common stock;
    (2) $112,500,000 of preferred stock;
    (3) $225,000,000 of New Mortgage Bonds, Senior Notes, debentures, 
subordinated debentures, and/or guarantees from time to time;

and/or warrants; and
    (5) $225,000,000 of other securities, including hybrid securities 
or hybrid securities guaranties.
    MDU Resources seeks authorization to vary the issuance amount for 
each of the above types of securities as long as the aggregate amount 
of MDU Resources' securities issued does not exceed $750,000,000. The

period.
    MDU Resources seeks a waiver of the Commission's competitive
