    Take notice that on July 24, 1998, Northern Border Pipeline Company 
(Northern Border), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000 
filed in Docket No. CP98-692-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 
and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 
(18 CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to operate an existing 
valve setting and to construct and operate certain measurement 
facilities as a new delivery point (Tyler delivery point) to the town 
of Tyler, Minnesota under Northern Border's blanket certificate issued 
in Docket No. CP84-420-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the natural Gas 
Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, Northern Border requests authorization to operate an 
existing 4-inch valve setting and to construct and operate a single 2-
inch rotary meter and associated piping, RTU, and meter building to 
serve as a delivery point to the town of Tyler, Minnesota. The 
estimated cost of the proposed facilities is $220,000. Northern Border 
will be reimbursed for all costs incurred for constructing the proposed 
delivery point.
    The natural gas volumes to be delivered at the proposed delivery 
point are volumes currently being transported by Northern Border. 
Northern Border will deliver to the town of Tyler up to 700 Mcf on a 
peak day and an estimated 110,000 Mcf annually. The natural gas volumes 
delivered at the Tyler delivery point will be used to serve the town of 
Tyler, Minnesota. There will not be any impact on the peak day 
capability of Northern Border's existing shippers as a result of the 
proposed interconnect and

any impact on annual deliveries will be de minimis.
    Northern Border further states that the proposed change is not 
prohibited by Northern Border's existing tariff. Northern Border 
asserts that it has sufficient capacity in its system to accomplish 
delivery of gas to the proposed delivery point without detriment or 
disadvantage to any other customer.
    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 therefor, 
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.
