Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Application

June 2, 2000.

Take notice that on May 30, 2000,

Northern Natural Gas Company

(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street,

Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed in Docket

No. CP00–371–000 an application

pursuant to Sections 7(b) and (c) of the

Natural Gas Act for permission and

approval to abandon and replace certain

pipeline facilities located in Iowa, all as

more fully set forth in the application

on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection. This filing may be

viewed on the web at http://

www.ferc.fed.us/online/htm (call 202–

208–2222 for assistance).

Northern states that during a hot spot

survey conducted in April 1999, it

discovered a leak on a portion of its ALine located under a road in Cass

County, Iowa. Northern indicates that,

to immediately repair the leak, it

replaced approximately 199 feet of its

24-inch line with 6-inch pipe without

requesting authorization under the

proper regulations. Northern states

instead that it listed the replacement

project in its annual blanket report as a

like-for-like replacement.

Northern indicates that a total of

approximately 45 feet of pipe was

removed from either end of the 24-inch

pipe to facilitate installation of the new

pipe, and that approximately 199 feet of

6-inch pipe was placed through the 24-

inch line and tied into the existing 24-

inch A-Line. It is asserted that the 6-

inch line will have sufficient capacity to

meet current maximum contract

obligations. It is further asserted that the

proposed abandonment and

replacement will not result in any loss

of service to Northern’s existing

customers. The cost of the proposed

replacement is estimated at $84,237.

Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to Keith

L. Petersen, Director, Certificates and

Reporting, at (402) 398–7421, Northern

Natural Gas Company, P.O. Box 3330,

Omaha, Nebraska 68103–0330.

motion to intervene or a protest 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 Natural

Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests

that allows for a pro rata distribution of

bids have the highest NPV.

Finally, in addition to other minor

tariff clean-ups, Tennessee is clarifying

that in package bids where part of the

package includes a change in primary

points that negatively affects

Tennessee’s revenues, the value of the

primary point amendment will be

treated as a negative adjustment to the

value of the package bid.
