Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

March 26, 2007.
    Take notice that on March 16, 2007, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed in 
Docket No. CP07-108-000, an application pursuant to section 7 of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) to increase the certificated storage capacity by 
8.551 Bcf and deliverability by 140 MMcf/d at the Redfield Storage 
Field (Redfield) located in Dallas County, Iowa in order to provide 
additional storage service. The storage service will be provided at 
market-based rates. The facilities for the expansion project include 
the installation of new storage wells and recompletion of existing 
wells to storage wells, as well as abandonment of compression 
facilities at another Northern location for reinstallation at Redfield, 
at all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may be also 
viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. 

Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the docket 
number field to access the document. For assistance, call (866) 208-
3676 or TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: 
complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule 
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other 
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of 
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this 
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for 
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review will serve to notify Federal and State agencies of 
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the 
subsequent need to complete all Federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    Any questions regarding this application may be directed to Michael 
T. Loeffler, Senior Director of Certificates and External Affairs for 
Northern, 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, (402) 398-
7103 or Bret Fritch, Senior Regulatory Analyst, at (402) 398-7140.
    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, before the 
comment date of this notice, 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.
    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.
    Comment Date: April 16, 2007.

Philis J. Posey,
Acting Secretary.
