    Natural requests authorization to construct and operate delivery 
point facilities, consisting of a 6-inch tap and 6-inch meter, to serve 
Central Iowa Power Cooperative (CIPCO), which requires the gas for its 
power plant in Union County, Iowa. It is stated that Natural will use 
the facilities to transport up to 28,992 MMBtu equivalent of natural 
gas per day on a firm basis pursuant to Section 284.223 of the 
Commission's regulations. Natural estimates the cost of the facilities 
at $310,000. Natural states that Cipco will construct a 4.6 mile 
lateral to connect Natural's facilities to its power plant. It is 
explained that the power plant currently receives gas service from IES 
Utilities Inc., a local distribution company. It is asserted that 
Natural has sufficient capacity to render the proposed service without 
detriment or disadvantage to its other existing customers. It is 
further asserted that the proposal will have so significant impact on 
Natural's peak day and annual deliveries.
    Any questions regarding the application may be directed to James J. 
McElligott, Vice President, at (630) 691-3525, Natural Gas Pipeline 
Company of America, 747 East 22nd Street, Lombard, Illinois 60148.

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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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. Comments, protests and
