National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

July 24, 1997.

Take notice that on July 14, 1997,

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation

(National Fuel), 10 Lafayette Square,

Buffalo, New York 14203, filed in

Docket No. CP97–637–000 a request

pursuant to §§ 157.205, 157.211, and

157.216(b) of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205, 157.211, and 157.216)

for approval to abandon certain facilities

and to construct and operate new

facilities, under National Fuel’s blanket

certificate issued in Docket No. CP83–4–

000, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the

Natural Gas Act (NGA), all as more fully

set forth in the request which is on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

National Fuel proposes to abandon in

place approximately two miles of a sixinch sales lateral line known as Line P,

and to abandon by transfer to National

Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation

(Distribution) approximately 9.7 miles

of Line P. National Fuel also requests

authorization to abandon four sales taps

located on Line P, at which gas is

currently delivered to Distribution.

National Fuel states that Distribution

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.

Any person or the Commission’s Staff

may, within 45 days of the issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214), a motion to

intervene 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 activities 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 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.

Secretary.
