Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Distribution of Refunds 
Paid

May 21, 1999.
    Take notice that on May 18, 1999, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), tendered for filing worksheets reflecting the distribution 
of refunds paid to jurisdictional sales customers on August 14, 1998 
and April 15, 1999. Northern states that these refunds are being made 
pursuant to the Commission's Order in Public Service Company of 
Colorado, et al., Docket No. RP97-369-000, et al.
    The Commission ordered that ``any first seller that collected 
revenues in excess of the applicable maximum lawful price established 
by the NGPA as a result of the reimbursement of the Kansas ad valorem 
taxes for sales based upon a tax bill rendered on or after October 3, 
1983, shall refund any such excess revenues to the purchaser.'' The 
interstate pipelines were then required to make lump-sum cash payments 
of the Kansas ad valorem tax refunds to the customers who were 
overcharged. Included with Northern's payments is interest on any 
amounts received from producers held longer than 30 days by Northern, 
covering the period from the date Northern received the refund from the 
producers until the date that refunds were paid out to its customers.
    Northern states that a copy of this report is being mailed to each 
of Northern's affected jurisdictional sales customers.
    Any person desiring to protest this filing should file a protest 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 20426, in accordance with Section 385.211 of the 
Commission's Rules and Regulations. All such 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 proceedings. Copies of this filing are on file with the Commission 
and are available for public inspection in the Public Reference
