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

May 10, 1996.
    Take notice that on May 6, 1996, Northern Border Pipeline Company 
(Northern Border) tendered for filing to become part of Northern Border 
Pipeline Company's FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, the 
following tariff sheet to become effective June 5, 1996:

Second Revised Sheet Number 162

    Northern Border states that the purpose of this filing is to allow 
Northern Border to substantiate a prospective IT-1 Shipper's unaudited 
year-end financial statements by analysis of the audited financial 
statements of the Shipper's parent or affiliate. As proposed if a 
Shipper with unaudited year-end financial statements has an acceptable 
credit and financial history and the Shipper's financial statements can 
be substantiated by its parent's or affiliate's audited financial 
statements, Northern Border would be able to accept the Shipper's 
financials as credit support. Without this change, no matter what is 
provided in support for the Shipper's credit, without audited financial 
statements of Shipper, Shipper cannot meet Northern Border's credit 
standard.
    The herein proposed change does not result in a change in Northern 
Border's total revenue requirement.
    Northern Border states that copies of this filing have been sent to 
all of Northern Border's contracted shippers.
    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, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Section 385.214 and Section 385.211 of the Commission's 
Rules and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed as 
provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 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.
