December 12, 2006.
    Take notice that on December 6, 2006, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, filed in 
Docket No. CP06-433-001, an application pursuant to sections 7 of the 
Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations, for 
authorization to amend the authorization requested in Docket No. CP06-
433-000, filed August 29, 2006, in order to construct and operate two 
new town border station (TBS) facilities, with appurtenances, to be 
located in Clay and Sioux Counties in Iowa, in order to use the 
compression and resulting capacity created on Northern's West Leg 
pipeline segment of its Market Area facilities, all as more fully set 
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open 
to public inspection. This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov
, using the ``eLibrary'' link and is available for review 

in the Commission's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is 
an ``eSubscription'' link on the Web site that enables subscribers to 
receive e-mail notification when a document is added to a subscribed 
docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail 
FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov, or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For 

TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
    In its application, Northern asserts that with the installation of 
the proposed facilities, Northern will utilize an additional 12,100 
Dth/day of capacity created by the Palmyra Northern Expansion 
facilities and that this peak day entitlement has been subscribed to by 
new customers. Northern is requesting approval for rolled-in rate 
treatment of the expansion costs. The facilities constitute part of the 
second discrete stand-alone project under the umbrella of the Northern 
Lights expansion project.\1\ The estimated capital cost for the 
facilities proposed herein is $885,000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Northern Lights is a multi-year commitment to expand 
Northern's Market Area capacity in response to its customer's future 
requirements through 2026. On June 23, 2006, Northern filed an 
application with the Commission under Docket No. CP06-403-000 
requesting authorization to construct, modify and operate facilities 
for the first discrete stand-alone Northern Lights project.

    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Michael T. Loeffler, Director, Certificates and Government Affairs for 
Northern, 1111 South 103rd Street, Omaha, Nebraska 68124, at (402) 398-
7103 or Donna Martens, Senior Regulatory Analyst, at (402) 398-7138.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person 
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by 
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all 
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must 
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a 
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only 
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders 
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone

[[Page 75960]]

will not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The 
Commission's rules require that persons filing comments in opposition 
to the project provide copies of their protests only to the party or 
parties directly involved in the protest.
    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 commentors 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 commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors 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.
    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 under the ``e-Filing'' 
link at http://www.ferc.gov. The Commission strongly encourages 

intervenors to file electronically. Persons unable to file 
electronically should submit an original and 14 copies of the protest 
or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First 
Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    Comment Date: January 2, 2007.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
