[Docket No. CP77-193-002]


Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Petition to Amend

June 18, 1996.
    Take notice that on June 10, 1996, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 628124, filed in 
Docket No. CP77-493-000, a petition to amend the certificate issued on 
June 23, 1978 in Docket No. CP77-193-000 pursuant to Section 7(c) of 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and part 157 of the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission's (Commission) regulations, to construct and operate 
additional facilities at the Cunningham Storage Field located in Pratt 
and Kingman Counties, Kansas, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Specifically, Northern requests authorization to operate an 
additional formation, the Simpson Formation, in conjunction with the 
originally certificated Viola Formation; to construct and operate 
certain facilities necessary to operate the Simpson Formation; and to 
modify certain operating parameters for the Cunningham storage 
facilities.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before July 9, 1996, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street N.E., 
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 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
