Sixth Revised Sheet No. 146.

Northern states that during the month of June 2003, Gas Daily has not published price discovery point information for Northern, MIDs 1-6 and Northern, Tx.-Okla-Kan (TOK) consistently on a daily basis.

Northern further states that copies of the filing have been mailed to each of its customers and interested State Commissions.
