    Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
    Authorization
    
    August 8, 1997.
        Take notice that on August 6, 1997, Northern Natural Gas Company 
    (Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
    in Docket No. CP97-685-000 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 Rippey #2, an existing delivery point located in Greene 
    County, Iowa, to accommodate increased interruptible natural gas 
    deliveries to UtiliCorp United, Inc. (UCU) for redelivery to the Rippey 
    Co-Op, 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 the request that is on file with the Commission and open 
    to public inspection.
        Northern states that it requests authorization to upgrade the 
    existing delivery point to accommodate increased natural gas deliveries 
    to UCU under Northern's currently effective throughput service 
    agreement(s). Northern states that UCU has requested increased 
    interruptible service to accommodate area growth.
        Northern states that the proposed increase in volumes to be 
    delivered to UCU at the Rippey #2 are 910 MMBtu on a peak day and 
    48,500 MMBtu on an annual basis. Northern estimates a cost of $56,000 
    for upgrading and UCU will reimburse Northern.
        Northern states that the upgrading is not prohibited by its 
    existing tariff and that is has sufficient capacity to accomplish 
    deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to other customers. The 
    proposed delivery point will not have an effect on Northern's peak day 
    and annual deliveries and 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 Sec. 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.
    Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
    Acting Secretary.
