certain facilities in Arkansas and

Oklahoma, under NGT’s blanket

certificate authorization issued in

384–001, pursuant to Section 7 of the

Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set

forth in the request which is on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

Specifically, NGT requests authority

at the request of ARKLA, a distribution

division of NorAm Energy Corp.

(ARKLA) to operate ten (10) existing

taps for delivery of natural gas to

ARKLA for resale to consumers other

than the right-of-way grantors for whom

the taps were originally installed. NGT

relates that the volume through these

taps range from 1 MMBtu to 200 MMBtu

per day. NGT has attached in Exhibit Z

to its application which is an excerpt

from NGT’s 1997 annual report which

identifies the location and size of each

of the ten taps to be certificated. NGT

states there will be no new construction.

NGT states that this change is not

prohibited by its tariff and that it has

sufficient capacity to accomplish the

deliveries specified without detriment

or disadvantage to its other customers.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file with the Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, 888 First Street, N.E.,

Washington, D.C. 20426, pursuant to

filed within the time allowed therefore,

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If a protest is filed and not withdrawn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.

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

May 20, 1998.

Take notice that on May 12, 1998,

Northern Natural Gas Company

(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street,

Omaha, Nebraska 68124–1000, filed in

Docket No. CP98–537–000 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 downsize two existing

small volume measurement stations

located in Webster and Boone Counties,

Iowa. Northern makes such request

under its 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 on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Northern states that it currently

provides natural gas deliveries to

Utilicorp, Inc. (UCU) at the Dennis

Amman and David Junck farm taps,

located in Webster and Boone Counties,

for ultimate delivery to UCU’s end

users. It is indicated that the taps have,

for over a year, been providing natural

gas for home use only as compared to

dryer bin usage in the past. Northern

states that because the delivered gas’

end use was changed, the pressure

required and the gas volumes delivered

to those farm taps, have been

significantly lower than when the taps

were originally installed. Northern is

therefore, requesting authorization to

downsize the Dennis Amman and David

Junck farm taps, by installing a smaller

meter and regulator, in order to

maintain a lower delivery pressure and

increase measurement accuracy of

natural gas deliveries to UCU, for

ultimate delivery to its small volume

customers.

Northern avers that deliveries of the

estimated volumes to UCU at the

downsized Dennis Amman and David

Junck will be made pursuant to

Northern’s currently effective

throughout service agreement(s) with

UCU. The estimated cost to install the

downsized facilities is $1,200. and

Northern states that the facilities will be

financed in accordance with the General

Terms and Conditions of Northern’s

FERC Gas Tariff, Fifth Revised Volume

No. 1.

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
