Taken notice that on September 15, 1998, Northern Natural Gas
Company, (Applicant), P.O. Box 3330, Omaha, Nebraska, 68103-0330, filed

existing delivery point located in Fillmore County, Minnesota, to
accommodate interruptible natural gas deliveries to UtiliCorp United
Inc. (UCU), under Applicant's blanket certificate issued in Docket No.
CP82-401-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA),

new ethanol plant. Applicant further states that the estimated
incremental volumes proposed to be delivered to UCU at this delivery
point are 2,550 MMBtu on a peak day and 435,788 MMBtu on an annual
basis. It is also indicated that the estimated cost to upgrade the
delivery point is $132,000 and the UCU will provide a contribution in
aid of construction for estimated costs of the facility.
Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 45 days of the
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule
214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR
385.214), a motion to intervene 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 activities 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and not withdrawn 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest,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.
