at the upgraded delivery point will change from 650 MMBtu to 1040 MMBtu
and that the estimated annual volume at the upgraded delivery point

total estimated cost to upgrade this delivery point is $25,000, which
Alliant will reimburse Applicant.
It is asserted by Applicant that the proposed activity is not
prohibited by Applicant's existing tariff and that Applicant has
sufficient capacity to accommodate the changes proposed herein without
detriment or disadvantage to any of Applicant's other customers.
Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule

withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the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.
