    Take notice that on October 18, 2000, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No. CP01-15-000 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 install a new delivery 
point in Cuming County, Nebraska in order to accommodate interruptible 
natural gas deliveries to West Point Dairy Products, Inc. (West Point 
Dairy) under Northern's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-
401-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully 
set forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Northern states that West Point Dairy is currently served by 
UtiliCorp United Inc. (UCU), a local distribution company. Northern 
states that pursuant to Section 284.106 of the Commission's 
Regulations, Northern provided notice to UCU and the Nebraska Public 
Service Commission by sending a copy of the application, via FedX over-
night delivery, on the same date that the application was filed with 
the Commission.
    Northern states that the delivery point will consist of a side 
valve and tap in Section 26, Township 22 North, Range 6 East in Cuming 
County, Nebraska. Northern states that the facilities will be capable 
of delivering up to 200 MMbtu per day to West Point Dairy and estimates 
total annual deliveries of 52,000 MMbtu. Northern estimates that the 
delivery point will cost $7,000 and that West Point Dairy will 
reimburse Northern for the construction costs.
    Northern states that the deliveries to West Point Dairy will be 
made pursuant to Northern's currently effective throughput service 
agreement and that the deliveries to West Point will not exceed the 
total volumes authorized prior to the request. Further, Northern 
asserts that it has sufficient capacity to accommodate the West Point 
Dairy volume without detriment or disadvantage to Northern's other 
customers.
