Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

September 5, 1997.

Take notice that on August 25, 1997,

Northern Natural Gas Company

(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street,

Omaha, Nebraska 68124–1000, filed in

Docket No. CP97–709–000 a request

pursuant to Sections 157.205 and

157.216 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205 and 157.216) for

authorization to abandon certain small

volume measurement (farm taps)

facilities located in Nebraska and Iowa,

under Northern’s blanket certificate

issued in Docket No. CP82–401–000

pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas

Act, all as more fully set forth in the

request that is on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection.

Northern states it is in the process of

replacing certain dresser coupled

pipelines installed in the 1930’s in

Jefferson, Gage and Platte counties,

Nebraska and in Polk county, Iowa. This

involves Northern’s Fairbury Branchline

and segments of its Columbus

Branchline, Des Moines ‘‘A’’ branchline,

and A-line. Northern states it has been

in negotiations with landowners along

the route of the original pipelines

regarding service line reconnections for

their farm tap facilities and those

electing reconnection to Northern will

continue to receive service from local

distribution companies. Northern states

that eleven farm tap users will

disconnect from Northern while others

will convert to alternate sources of fuel

or they no longer require natural gas

services. Northern states it will restore

the farm tap sites to their original

condition by leveling the site and

reseeding with native vegetation or as

specified by landowner and the farm tap

facilities will be abandoned and

removed.

Northern states that the proposed

activity is not prohibited by its existing

tariff and that it has sufficient capacity

to accommodate the proposed changes

without detriment or disadvantage to

Northern’s other customers.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a

protest to the request. If no protest is

filed within the time allowed therefor,

the proposed activity shall be deemed to

be authorized effective the day after the

time allowed for filing a protest. If a

protest is filed and not withdrawn

within 30 days after the time allowed

for filing a protest, the instant request

shall be treated as an application for

authorization pursuant to Section 7 of

the Natural Gas Act.

Secretary.
