Abstract: This paper is a first step in order to extend Kummer's theory for line congruences to the case

l b r a c e x, x i b r a c e

, where

x : U i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b R^{3}

is a smooth map and

x i : U i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b R^{3}

is a proper frontal. We show that if

l b r a c e x, x i b r a c e

is a normal congruence, the equation of the principal surfaces is a multiple of the equation of the developable surfaces, furthermore, the multiplicative factor is associated to the singular set of

x i

.
