September 19, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 12, 1997, Northern Natural Gas 
Company (Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-
1000, filed in Docket No. CP97-753-000 a request pursuant to 
Secs. 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 Dodge Center TBS #1, an existing delivery 
point in Dodge County, Minnesota, to accommodate incremental 
interruptible natural gas deliveries to UtiliCorp United Inc. (UCU), 
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 interruptible service will be provided to UCU 
pursuant to currently effective throughput service agreement(s). The 
proposed incremental volumes to be delivered for UCU at the proposed 
delivery point are 935 MMBtu on a peak day and 97,001 MMBtu on an 
annual basis. The total estimated cost to upgrade is $266,000 and UCU 
will compensate Northern. The upgrade will consist of a replacement of 
the existing meter and appurtenant facilities. Northern states that UCU 
requested the proposed upgrade of the delivery point to serve local 
residential, commercial, and industrial customers.
    Northern states that the proposed upgrade is not prohibited by its 
existing tariff and that it has sufficient capacity to accomplish 
deliveries without detriment or disadvantage to other customers and 
that the total volumes delivered after the request will not exceed 
total volumes authorized prior to the request.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after

withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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.
