Northern Border Pipeline Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

November 22, 1995.
    Take notice that on November 16, 1995, Northern Border Pipeline 
Company (Northern Border), tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, to 
become effective on January 1, 1996:

Second Revised Sheet Number 108
Second Revised Sheet Number 117
Third Revised Sheet Number 118
First Revised Sheet Number 119
Seventh Revised Sheet Number 157
Second Revised Sheet Number 158

    The proposed changes would on an illustrative basis increase 
revenues from jurisdictional service by $7.0 million based on the first 
year that such changes are in effect. The filing proposes a return on 
equity of 14.25 percent, which for the 12 months ending December 31, 
1996, equates to a pre-tax return on total capital of approximately 
14.50 percent. Northern Border also proposes to eliminate the Minimum 
Revenue Credit in Rate Schedule IT-1 and the mandatory periodic review 
of its equity rate of return. Northern Border additionally is 
requesting removal of the at-risk conditions contained in the 
certificates for facilities placed in-service during 1991 and 1992 at 
Docket Nos. CP89-576 and CP91-002. Northern Border has provided pro 
forma tariff Sheets Nos. 109 and 110 which set forth the Project 
Related Depreciation Schedule as presented in Exhibit 0 of the 
certificate amendment at Docket No. CP95-194-001. Effectuation of the 
pro forma tariff sheets is dependent upon various contingencies, e.g., 
the approval and completion of the facilities proposed in Docket No. 
CP95-194-001.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest this filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with 
Sections 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules and Regulations. 
Under Section 154.209, all such motions or protests should be filed on 
or before November 28, 1995. Protests will be considered by the 
Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken but will 
not serve to make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person 
wishing to become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of 
this filing are on file with the Commission and are available for 
public inspection in the Public Reference Room.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
