Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

    Take notice that on June 22, 2017, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed in 
Docket No. CP17-466-000 a prior notice request pursuant to sections 
157.205 and 157.208 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
(Commission) regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Northern's 
blanket authorizations issued in Docket No. CP82-401-000. Northern 
seeks authorization to install and operate (1) a compressor station, 
(2) a segment of pipeline, and (3) an interconnect, all as more fully 
set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and 
open to public inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the web at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to 
access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    First, Northern proposes to install and operate a new 11,152-
horsepower (HP) compressor station (Bakersfield Compressor Station or 
Project) in Peco County, Texas. Second, Northern proposes to construct 
and operate 1.5 miles of 20-inch diameter pipeline. Third, Northern 
proposes to construct and operate an interconnect with a third-party. 
The pipeline will be connected to the discharge side of the Bakersfield 
compressor station and the terminus will be at the proposed 
interconnect station with a third-party pipeline. The Project will 
allow Northern to transport 200,000 Dth/day of incremental load through 
the addition of compression, pipeline and interconnect to a third-party 
pipeline from Northern's existing system. The total cost is 
approximately $28,200,000.
    Any questions regarding this Application should be directed to 
Michael T Loeffler, Senior Director, Certificates and External Affairs 
for Northern, 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, by phone 
(402) 398-7103, by fax (402) 398-7592, or by email at 
[email protected].
    Any person or the Commission's Staff may, within 60 days after the 
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 Commission's Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest 
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed 
therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized 
effective the day after the time allowed for 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 NGA.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: 
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule 
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other 
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of 
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this 
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for 
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of 
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the 
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii)

[[Page 31772]]

and the instructions on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under 
the ``e-Filing'' link. Persons unable to file electronically should 
submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, 
DC 20426.

    Dated: July 3, 2017.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
