Northern states that it is submitting these tariff sheets to implement a Limited Firm Throughput Service under new Rate Schedule LFT. Under this Rate Schedule, firm transportation service would be available subject to Northern's right to not schedule service in whole or in part on any day (a Limited Day), but not more than a maximum number of Limited Days per month (not to exceed ten) agreed to by Northern and Shipper in the LFT Service Agreement. Northern is proposing this service to offer greatly flexibility to shippers, and to address the needs of shippers that generally require firm service but are able to accommodate periodic interruption of service.

Northern states that copies of the filing were served upon Northern's customers and interested State Commissions.
