Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

March 22, 1999.
    Take notice that on March 16, 1999, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
a request with the Commission in Docket No. CP99-258-000, pursuant to 
Sections 157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization to relocate a town border 
station (TBS) to provide natural gas transportation service to 
Minnegasco, a Division of NorAm Energy Corp. (Minnegasco), authorized 
in blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-401-000, all as more 
fully set forth in the request on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Northern proposes to relocate a TBS in Carver County Minnesota to 
provide natural gas transportation service to the communities of Mayer 
and New Germany, Minnesota through their Local Distribution Company, 
Minnegasco. Northern reports that the existing facility is located in a 
ditch, thereby creating maintenance difficulties, particularly during 
adverse weather conditions. Northern further proposes to relocate the 
existing TBS to a site located approximately 1,500 feet downstream of 
the current site utilizing existing facilities to the extent possible. 
Northern estimates the cost of the relocation of the TBS to be 
approximately $88,000.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after the 
Commission has issued this notice, 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the request. If 
no protest is filed within the allowed time, 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn 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 NGA.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
