Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP99-532-000]

 
Northern Natural Gas Company; Application

May 26, 1999.
    Take notice that on May 21, 1999, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern) 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed 
in Docket No. CP98-532-000 an application pursuant to Section 7(c) of 
the Natural Gas Act for authorization to upgrade and operate Unit #6 at 
the Farmington Compressor Station in Dakota County, Minnesota, in order 
to increase the mainline capacity so that Northern can provide 
incremental/firm transportation service to Reliant Energy Minnegasco 
(Minnegasco), all as more fully set forth in the application on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection. This filing may also 
be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (please 
call (202) 208-2222 for assistance).
    Specifically, Northern states that the upgrade would involve the 
modification of the unit controls of the electric motor driven 
reciprocating compressor without any ground disturbance. Northern 
estimates the cost for the proposed construction to be approximately 
$50,000 that would be financed with internally generated funds.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before June 16, 1999, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, 
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance 
with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission 
will be considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be 
taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties to the 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding or to 
participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion to 
intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and 
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be 
held without further notice before the Commission or its designee on 
this application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time 
required herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter 
finds that a grant of the certificate is required by the public 
convenience and necessity. If a motion for leave to intervene is timely 
filed, or if the Commission on its own motion believes that a formal 
hearing is required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Northern to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
