[Docket No. CP06-40-000]


Duke Energy Field Services, LP; Notice of Petition for a 
Declaratory Order

December 22, 2005.
    Take notice that on December 16, 2005, Duke Energy Field Services, 
LP (DEFS), filed pursuant to Rule 207(a)(2) of the Rules of Practice 
and Procedure of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, a petition 
for a declaratory order. In its petition, DEFS requests the Commission 
to declare that certain Anadarko Basin area facilities to be purchased 
from Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern) perform a gathering 
function, and, upon their acquisition will be exempt from the 
Commission's jurisdiction pursuant to section 1(b) of the Natural Gas 
Act (NGA). The affected assets are Northern's Beaver Wet System, 
consisting of about 419 miles of Anadarko Basin area pipeline and 
related compression, dehydration, purification, and delivery point 
facilities and appurtenances, and DEFS will then simultaneously 
purchase Saleco from Northern. These facilities handle wet gas for 
delivery to processing plants and are in various counties in the Texas 
Panhandle, northwest Oklahoma, and southwest Kansas, all as more fully 
set forth in the request which is on file with Commission and open to 
public inspection.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing should 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, 
NE., Washington, DC 20426, in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 
385.214). Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining 
the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make 
protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a 
party must file a motion to intervene. All such motions or protests 
should be filed on or before the comment date and, to the extent 
applicable, must be served on the applicant and on any other person
