[[Page 32593]]

(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No. CP97-558-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 
157.212 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212 and 157.216) for authorization to 
upgrade the Baldwin #1 TBS and to retire the existing meter and 
appurtenant facilities associated with the proposed upgrade, 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 request on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    Northern proposes to upgrade the Baldwin #1 TBS, an existing 
delivery point located in St. Croix County, Wisconsin, to accommodate 
increased natural gas deliveries to Wisconsin Gas Company (WGC) under 
Northern's currently effective throughput service agreement(s). 
Northern states that WGC requested that the Baldwin #1 TBS be upgraded 
due to a growth of natural gas requirements in that area. The proposed 
increase in volumes to be delivered to WGC at the Baldwin #1 TBS are 60 
MMBtu on a peak day and 5,414 MMBtu on an annual basis. The total 
estimated upgrade is $90,000 and all construction will be completed 
within the existing station yard with minimal ground disturbance.
    Northern states that the proposed activity is not prohibited by its 
existing tariff, that it has sufficient capacity for deliveries without 
detriment or disadvantage to other customers and that the total volumes 
delivered will not exceed total volumes authorized prior to this 
request.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, 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 Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, 
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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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 Natural Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
