    Take notice that on November 27, 1996, Northern Natural Gas Company

CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to operate and maintain an 
existing delivery point and appurtenant facilities, initially 
constructed pursuant to Section 311(a) of the Natural Gas Policy Act, 
as a jurisdictional delivery point to provide natural gas deliveries to 
United States Gypsum Company (US Gypsum), 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

Regulations. Northern states that the estimated volumes to be delivered 
to US Gypsum at the Fort Dodge #2 TBS are 4,000 MMBtu on a peak day and 
1,460,000 MMBtu on an annual basis. Northern further states that the 
proposed volumes to be delivered to US Gypsum will be within the 
currently authorized level of firm entitlement for US Gypsum pursuant 
to Northern's currently effective throughout agreements.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after

and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
