Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under Blanket 
Authorization

October 11, 1996.
    Take notice that on October 4, 1996, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), P.O. Box 3330, Omaha, Nebraska 68103-0330, filed in Docket 
No. CP97-12-000 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 install and operate a new delivery tap, 
located in Ellis County, Oklahoma, to accommodate interruptible natural 
gas deliveries to GPM Gas Corporation (GPM) under Northern's blanket 
certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-401-000, pursuant to Section 7(c) 
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 proposes to install and operate a new delivery tap in 
Ellis County, Oklahoma, to accommodate interruptible natural gas 
deliveries to GPM. Northern states they will install a tee and valve at 
the site of the proposed delivery tap. GPM states they will install a 
meter, construct, own, and operate the nonjurisdictional facilities 
downstream of Northern's existing first above ground valve. GPM has 
requested the construction of the proposed delivery tap to provide 
compressor fuel and starting gas for use at its plant.
    Northern advises that the proposed volumes to be delivered for GPM 
at the proposed delivery tap are 2,000 MMBtu on a peak day and 20,000 
MMBtu on an annual basis. Northern estimates the cost of constructing 
the proposed delivery tap to be $6,000. Northern states GPM will 
reimburse them for the total cost of construction.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
