[Docket No. CP96–336–000]

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice

of Application

April 29, 1996.

Take notice that on April 18, 1996,

Northern Natural Gas Company

(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street,

Omaha, Nebraska 68124–1000, filed in

Docket No. CP96–336–000 an

application pursuant to Section 7(c) of

the Natural Gas Act for authorization to

increase the horsepower capacity of its

Galena compressor station,1 located on

the East Leg of its mainline system in Jo

Daviess County, Illinois, all as more

fully set forth in the application on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Northern proposes to operate unit #1

at its Galena compressor station at its

design 3,800 NEMA horsepower (HP)

rated level; 2 and to replace unit #2 with

a 3,800 HP unit, in order to maintain

system reliability. Northern explains

that the presently operational unit #1

was recently installed to respond to an

emergency situation that occurred on or

about February 7, 1996, when the

original unit #1 failed.

Northern states that operating unit #1

at its rated horsepower and replacing

unit #2 at the Galena compressor station

at this time would provide the following

benefits to Northern’s shippers: (1)

Reliable service would be maintained

on the East Leg through the replacement

of antiquated units which are critical to

the heating season market area demands

of Northern’s shippers; and (2)

increased efficiency is associated with

the proposed simple cycle units as

opposed to the existing 3,500 HP

recuperating units. Northern estimates

that the cost of replacing unit #2 is

approximately $368,062 which would

be financed with internally generated

funds.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before May 20,

1996, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, Washington,

DC 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 285.211) 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 a grant of the

certificate is 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.

Notice Granting Extension of Time

April 29, 1996.

On March 1, 1996, the Notice of

Application Ready for Environmental

Analysis (NREA) for the Mokelumne

River Project No. 137 was issued in the

Federal Register (Vol. 61 No. 42 FR

adequacy of instream flows and the

proposed fish protection facilities.

Because there is an extensive amount of

information to evaluate associated with

the Mokelumne Project, the Commission

is extending the date to file comments,

recommendations, terms and

conditions, and prescriptions until May

23, 1996. The date to file reply

comments with the Commission is

extended until July 8, 1996.
