DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP99-532-000]
Northern Natural Gas Company; Application
May 26, 1999.
Take notice that on May 21, 1999, Northern Natural Gas Company
(Northern) 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed
in Docket No. CP98-532-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of
the Natural Gas Act for authorization to upgrade and operate Unit #6 at
the Farmington Compressor Station in Dakota County, Minnesota, in order
to increase the mainline capacity so that Northern can provide
incremental/firm transportation service to Reliant Energy Minnegasco
(Minnegasco), all as more fully set forth in the application on file
with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may also
be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please
call (202) 208-2222 for assistance).
Specifically, Northern states that the upgrade would involve the
modification of the unit controls of the electric motor driven
reciprocating compressor without any ground disturbance. Northern
estimates the cost for the proposed construction to be approximately
$50,000 that would be financed with internally generated funds.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before June 16, 1999, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE,
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance
with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission
will be considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be
taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties to the
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion to
intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely
filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Northern to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
