Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

October 10, 1997.
    Take notice that on October 3, 1997, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No. CP98-7-000 a request pursuant to Secs. 157.205, 157.212 
and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.212 and 157.216) for authorization to upgrade the 
Marquette #1A and Negaunee #1 town border stations in Marquette County, 
Michigan, under Northern's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 
CP82-401-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more 
fully set forth in the request that is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection.
    Northern proposes to upgrade the two existing delivery points by 
replacing the existing meters, regulators and associated piping. 
Northern estimates that the peak day and annual volumes to be delivered 
to SEMCO Energy Gas Company (SEMCO) are 9,612 MMBtu and 982,346 MMBtu 
at the Marquette #1A and 3,748 MMBtu and 383,046 MMBtu at the Negaunee 
#1. Deliveries of the estimated volumes will be made pursuant to 
Northern's currently effective throughput service agreements with 
SEMCO. Northern states that SEMCO requested the proposed delivery point 
upgrades to accommodate a growth of natural gas requirements in the 
respective areas. The total estimated cost to upgrade is $130,000.
    Northern states that the proposed activity is not prohibited by its 
existing tariff, that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish 
deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to its other customers and 
that the total volumes delivered after the request will not exceed 
total volumes authorized prior to the request.
    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 Sec. 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 therefor, 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not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
