Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Compliance Filing

December 6, 1995.
    Take notice that on November 30, 1995, Northern Natural Gas Company 
(Northern), tendered for filing, under Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA), notice of termination of gathering services. Northern states 
that on November 29, 1995, an Order Authorizing Abandonment and 
Determining Jurisdictional Status of Facilities (Order) was issued by 
the Commission in the above-referenced Docket Numbers authorizing 
Northern Natural Gas Company (Northern) to abandon certain pipeline, 
compression, dehydrating and delivery point gathering facilities, with 
appurtenances, located in various counties in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, 
Wyoming and Colorado (Facilities), by sale to its affiliates Enron 
Anadarko Gathering Corp., Enron Gathering Limited Partnership, Enron 
Permian Gathering Inc. and Enron Mountain Gathering Inc. (collectively 
referred to as ``Enron Gathering Companies'').
    Northern states that this filing is being made in compliance with 
the Order.
    Northern states the reason for the termination is the abandonment 
of the Facilities by sale to the Enron Gathering Companies. As a result 
of restructuring under Order No. 636, Northern's merchant services 
obligations have been terminated and Northern no longer requires any 
gas supplies from the Anadarko, Hugoton, Permian or Rocky Mountain 
production areas accessed by the Facilities to fulfill its customer 
obligations.
    Northern states that a notice of this termination has been posted 
on Northern's EBB, consistent with Northern's practice. In addition, 
contemporaneous with this filing, written notice of the termination is 
being provided to each applicable individual gathering shipper.
    Northern also states that copies of the filing were served upon the 
company's customers and interested State Commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Secs. 385.214 and 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. Pursuant to Sec. 154.210 of the Commission's 
regulations, all such motions or protests must be filed not later than 
12 days after the date of the filing noted above. All protests will be 
considered by the Commission in determining the appropriate action to 
be taken in this proceeding, but will not serve to make Protestant a 
party to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file 
a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for inspection.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
