Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas

Tariff

November 28, 1997.

Take notice that on November 25,

1997, Northern Natural Gas Company

(Northern), tendered for filing to become

part of Northern’s FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth

Revised Volume No. 1, the following

tariff sheet, with an effective date of

December 1, 1997:

Substitute Sixth Revised Sheet No. 54

On November 21, 1997, Northern filed

tariff sheets to revise Mainline fuel

retention percentages and the

unaccounted for (UAF) percentage on

Northern’s system to be effective from

December 1, 1997 through May 31,

1998, as agreed to at the settlement

conference held on November 13, 1997,

before Settlement Judge H. Peter Young.

In this November 21, 1997, filing,

Northern correctly stated all fuel

percentages on Sheet Nos. 61–64, as

agreed to by the active parties (the

Parties) in these dockets at the

settlement conference. However,

Northern inadvertently failed to revise

the Market Area fuel percentage on

Sheet No. 54 to 1.23%. The reason for

the instant filing is to correctly reflect

the Market Area fuel percentage on

sheet No. 54 as 1.23%.

Northern states that copies of the

filing were served upon Northern’s

customers and interested State

Commissions.

Any person desiring to protest said

filing should file a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C.

20426, in accordance with Section

385.211 of the Commission’s Rules and

Regulations. All such protests must be

filed in accordance with Section

154.210 of the Commission’s

Regulations. All protests will be

considered by the Commission in

determining the appropriate action to be

taken in this proceeding, but will not

serve to make protestant a party to the

proceeding. Copies of this filing are on

file with the Commission and are

available for inspection.
