[Docket No. CP98–14–000]

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Application

October 16, 1997.

Take notice that on October 9, 1997,

Northern Natural Gas Company

(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street,

Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed in Docket

No. CP98–14–000 an application

pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural

Gas Act (NGA) for permission and

approval to abandon, by sale to PG&E–

TEX, L.P. (PG&E), certain compression,

pipeline, treating, dehydration and

delivery point facilities, with

appurtenances, located in the State of

Texas, and the services rendered

thereby, all as more fully set forth in the

application on file with the Commission

and open to public inspection.

It is stated that Northern proposes to

convey to PG&E, facilities located in the

Permian Area of West Texas, which

consist of 250 miles of pipeline ranging

from 6-inch to 24-inch in diameter, nine

compressor units located at two

compressor stations, treating and

dehydration facilities, all delivery

points located along the length of the

pipelines to be abandoned, and all

appurtenant facilities. Northern states

that it will continue to transport natural

gas that is received at the

interconnections between Northern’s

facilities and what are proposed to be

PG&E’s facilities pursuant to any valid

transportation service agreements. In

addition, Northern states that PG&E

intends to file a petition for declaratory

order seeking a determination that the

subject facilities, once conveyed to

PG&E, are intrastate pipeline facilities

exempt from the Commission’s

jurisdiction under Section 2(16) of the

Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 and/or

gathering facilities exempt from

Commission jurisdiction under Section

1(b) of the NGA.

It is stated that Northern currently

maintains rate schedules in its FERC

Gas Tariff, Original Volume No. 2 for

certain individually certificated service

agreements with receipt or delivery

points on the subject facilities. Northern

states that it is not currently providing

service under these agreements but has

not previously abandoned such

agreements. Therefore, Northern states

that it is requesting permission and

approval to abandon service under Rate

Schedules ES–1, T–31, X–62 and X–89.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before

November 6, 1997, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission,

Washington, D.C. 20426, a 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

filed with the Commission will be

considered by it in determining the

appropriate action to be taken but will

not serve to make the protestants parties

to the proceeding. Any person wishing

to become a party to a proceeding or to

participate as a party in any hearing

therein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

Rules.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas

Act and the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, a hearing will

be held without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that permission and

approval for the proposed abandonment

are required by the public convenience

and necessity. If a motion for leave to

intervene is timely filed, or if the

Commission on its own motion believes

that a formal hearing is required, further

notice of such hearing will be duly

given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Northern to appear or

be represented at the hearing.

Secretary.
