          - [Docket No. CP08-43-000] 

                    Take notice that on December 21, 2007, Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, and PVR Midstream LLC (PVR), TownCenter One, 1450 Lake Robbins Drive, The Woodlands, Texas 77380-3258, filed a joint application in Docket No. CP08-43-000. Included in that filing is an application by Northern pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, and sections 157.7 and 157.18 of the Commission's Regulations, requesting permission and approval to abandon by sale to Saleco, a new yet to be named Delaware limited liability company, certain pipeline, compression, dehydration, and delivery and receipt point facilities (Hemphill System), with appurtenances facilities located in Ochiltree, Roberts and Hemphill Counties, Texas, and Roger Mills County, Oklahoma. Northern also requests Commission approval to abandon the services it provides with respect to primary receipt and/or delivery points located on the facilities proposed for abandonment. Northern and PVR state that once Saleco is assigned to PVR, the Hemphill System will be operated by PVR as part of its non-jurisdictional gathering system. Northern and PVR also request in the application a determination that, upon transfer to PVR, the facilities in question will be classified as gathering under section 1(b) of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing is accessible on-line at                     *http://www.ferc.gov,*                     using the “eLibrary” link and is available for review in the Commission's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC.

For TTY, call (202) 502-8659.                 

Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Michael T. Loeffler, Director, Certificates and Government Affairs for Northern Natural Gas Company , 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, at (402) 398-7103. 

There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly involved in the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review process. Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the Commission's final order. 

                    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site under the “e-Filing” link at                     *http://www.ferc.gov.*                     The Commission strongly encourages intervenors to file electronically. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.                 

*Comment Date:*                     January 24, 2008.                 

Kimberly D. Bose, 

Secretary.
