    Northern states that it is currently providing service to the

Northern's currently effective firm and interruptible throughput 
service agreements or by access to released capacity of other shippers.
    Northern states that the proposed deliveries to AGP at the AGP #1 
TBS are 1,800 MMBtu on a peak day and 525,600 MMBtu on an annual basis. 
These volumes represent no incremental change to Northern's current 
volumes. Northern estimates a cost of installing the delivery point of 
$162,000. AGP will construct and maintain a downstream line and 
appurtenant facilities.
    Northern further states that MIDAM and the Iowa State Commission 
have been notified of this proposal and application.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
