[Docket No. CP02-162-000]


Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

June 13, 2002.
    Take notice that on April 18, 2002, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), filed in Docket No. CP02-162-000, a request pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, and the Rules 
and Regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission), requesting permission and approval to abandon service 
under an individually certificated agreement, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission, and open 
to public inspection. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission or may be viewed on the Commission's web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``RIMS'' link, select ``Docket #'' and follow 
the instructions (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Specifically, Northern proposes to abandon service to Metropolitan 
Utilities District of Omaha (MUD) under Rate Schedule T-4, contained in 
its FERC Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 2. The agreement has 
terminated pursuant to its terms.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Michael W. McGowan, Vice President, Certificates and Reporting for 
Northern, 111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, at (402)398-
7110 or Bret Fritch, Senior Regulatory Analyst, at (402)398-7140.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before July 5, 2002, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, a motion to 
intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the 
Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 
status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary 
of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the 
applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of 
filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant 
and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the 
proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the 
proceeding. Comments, protests and interventions may be filed 
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper; see 18 CFR 
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's web site 
under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Commission by 
Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedures, a hearing will be held without further notice 
before the Commission on this application if no protests or motions to 
intervene is filed within the time required herein. At that time, the 
Commission, on its own review of the matter, will determine whether 
granting the Abandonment is required by the public convenience and 
necessity. If a petition for leave to intervene is timely filed, or if 
the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal hearing is 
required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Northern to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Deputy Secretary.
