Northern Border Pipeline Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

January 21, 1999.
    Take notice that on January 12, 1999, Northern Border Pipeline 
Company (Northern Border), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 
68124-1000, filed in Docket No. CP99-148-000 a request pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.212) for authorization to 
construct and operate certain interconnect facilities as a new delivery 
point to The Peoples Gas Light and Coke Company (Peoples). Northern 
Border makes such request under its blanket certificate issued in 
Docket No. CP84-420-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, 
all as more fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission.
    Specifically, Northern Border requests authorization to construct 
and operate a 16-inch tee and valve to serve as a delivery point to 
Peoples in Will County, Illinois. It is indicated that the facility 
will be known as the Elwood delivery point. The estimated cost of 
Northern Border's proposed facilities is $95,000--and it is stated that 
Northern Border will be reimbursed for all costs

incurred for constructing the proposed delivery point.
    It is stated that the natural gas volumes to be delivered at the 
proposed delivery point are volumes which will be transported by 
Northern Border. Northern Border states its intent to deliver up to 
240,000 Mcf on a peak day and an estimated 11 Bcf annually to Peoples. 
It is averred that the natural gas volumes received from Northern 
Border will be used for electrical generation, by an electric 
generation facility presently being built by Elwood Energy, LLC (Elwood 
Energy)--and that Elwood Energy will need natural gas volumes at the 
plant by approximately April 1, 1999.
    Northern Border further states that the proposal is not prohibited 
by its existing tariff, and Northern Border asserts that it has 
sufficient capacity in its system to accomplish delivery of gas to the 
proposed delivery point without detriment or disadvantage to any of its 
other customers.
    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 therefore, 
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.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
