May 2, 2001.
Take notice that on April 6, 2001 Northern Natural Gas Company
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124-1000, filed
in Docket No. CP01-147-000, a request pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act (NGA), as amended, and the Rules and Regulations of the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission), requesting
permission and approval to abandon service under an individually
certificated agreement, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission, and open to public inspection.
The application may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed/us/

Specifically, Northern proposes to abandon service to El Paso
Natural Gas

Company (El Paso) under Rate Schedule T-2, contained in its FERC Gas
Tariff, Original Volume No. 2. Northern further states that the
underlying contract has not provided service to several years and has
been terminated in accordance with the contract terms.
Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Keith L. Petersen, Director, Certificates and Reporting for Northern,
1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, at (402) 398-7421 or
Bret Fritch, Senior Regulatory Analyst, at (402) 398-7140.
Any person desiring to be heard or make any protest with reference
to said application should on or before May 23, 2001, file with the
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 Procedures (18 CFR Sections 385.211
and 385.214) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR
Section 157.10). All protests filed with the Commission will be
considered by it in determining the appropriate action to be taken but

person wishing to become party to a proceeding or to participate as a
party in any hearing therein must file a petition 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 Commission by
Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedures, a hearing will be held without further notice
before the Commission on this application if no protest or motion to
intervene is filed within the time required herein. At that time, the
Commission, on its own review of the matter, will determine whether
granting the Abandonment is required by the public convenience and
necessity. If a petition 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. Comments,
protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the internet
in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions
on the Commission's web site at http://www.ferc.fed.us/efi/
doorbell.htm.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Northern to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
