that a formal hearing is required, further

notice of such hearing will be duly

given.

Under the procedure herein provided

will still deliver all the natural gas it

needs for the markets served by Line P,

but these four sales taps will no longer

be points of interconnection between

National Fuel and Distribution.

National Fuel also proposes to

construct at and operate its Station No.

2235, an existing sales taps at which

national Fuel delivers natural gas to

Distribution. Specifically, National

proposes to replace a three-inch meter

with a four-inch meter and associated

piping. National Fuel asserts that these

changes will result in a change in the

design delivery capacity of the station

from 900 Mcf per day to approximately

1,600 Mcf per day. National Fuel asserts

that this upgrade is necessary to

accommodate the continuation of

natural gas deliveries to Distribution

after the abandonment of Line P.

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

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.
