[Docket No. CP06-39-000]


Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application for 
Abandonment

December 22, 2005.
    Take notice that on December 16, 2005, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed in 
Docket No. CP06-39-000, an application pursuant to section 7(b) of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA), for authorization to abandon, by sale, to 
Saleco, a yet to be named limited liability company, with the 
simultaneous transfer of Saleco to Duke Energy Field Services, LP 
(DEFS), following Saleco's acquisition of certain pipeline, 
compression, dehydrating, purification and delivery point facilities 
and appurtenances located in various counties in Texas, Oklahoma and 
Kansas. Northern also requests a Commission determination that 
following abandonment, the facilities will be non-jurisdictional 
gathering facilities pursuant to section 1(b) of the NGA. Finally, 
Northern requests Commission approval to abandon the services it 
provides with respect to primary receipt and/or delivery points located 
on the facilities proposed for abandonment, all as more fully set forth 
in the request which is on file with Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Specifically, Northern proposes to convey to Saleco, approximately 
419 miles of its pipeline, compressor stations and all delivery and 
receipt points located along the length of the pipeline and all other 
appurtenant facilities. The facilities are referred to by Northern as 
the Beaver Wet System which handles wet gas for processing.

    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Michael T. Loeffler, Director of Certificates for Northern, 1111 South 
103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, at (402) 398-7103.
    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 the comment date stated below, 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.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    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.
    Comment Date: January 12, 2006.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
