Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

September 23, 2004.
    Take notice that on September 17, 2004, Northern Natural Gas 
Company (Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68103-
0330, filed in Docket No. CP04-412-000, a request pursuant to its 
blanket certificate issued September 1, 1982, under Docket No. CP82-
401-000, for authority under Section 157.208 of the Commission's 
regulations (18 CFR 157.208) to reduce the maximum allowable operating 
pressure (MAOP) of the 16-inch diameter Omaha 2nd branchline, located 
in Sarpy and Douglas Counties, Nebraska.

2nd branchline between milepost 15.448 and milepost 20.700 from 537

obligations. Northern asserts that no construction activities will be 
required to facilitate the MAOP reduction.
