[Docket No. CP06-44-000]


Duke Energy Field Services, LP; Notice of Application

January 5, 2006.
    Take notice that on December 30, 2005, Duke Energy Field Services, 
LP (Duke Field Services) submitted an Application for a Limited 
Jurisdiction, Limited-Term Certificate of Public Convenience and 
Necessity pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act. 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 eLibrary link. 
Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket 
number filed to access the document. Questions about this application 
should be directed to Katie Rice, Director, Regulatory Affairs, Duke 
Energy Field Services, LP, 370 17th Street, Suite 2500, Denver, CO 
80202, Phone: (303) 605-2166.
    Duke Field Services states that the proposed limited jurisdiction, 
limited term certificate would permit Duke Field Services to transport 
certain of its raw gas supplies from Northern Natural Gas Company's 
(Northern Natural) Beaver Wet System in Beaver County, Oklahoma, to the 
National Helium Plant in Seward County, Kansas, but that Duke Field 
Services' related gas gathering facilities and operations in Oklahoma 
and Kansas will not become subject to the Commission's jurisdiction. 
The pipeline facilities of Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Company and 
Northern Natural would also be used in this transaction. Duke Field 
Services says that there would be no jurisdictional rate impact of its 
proposal because it will be providing service for itself and thus no 
rate authorization is requested nor required, according to Duke Field 
Services.
    Duke Field Services is seeking this limited jurisdiction, limited 
term certificate for a term of the earlier of one year, or 60 days 
after the Commission issues a final order in two pending dockets 
involving Northern Natural and Duke Field Services, Docket Nos. CP06-
39-000 and CP06-40-000, respectively. Those two dockets involve the 
sale of Northern Natural's Beaver Wet System from Northern Natural to 
Duke Field Services. Public notices of those two dockets were 
previously issued on December 22, 2005.
    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 Rule 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
