blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP82-401-000, pursuant to 
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the

alternative Town Border Station and that the shipper does not object to 
the proposed abandonment. In support of Northern's request, Northern 
States Power provided Northern with written consent for the proposed 
abandonment.
    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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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.
