[Docket No. CP97–700–000]

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation;

Notice of Application for Abandonment

August 22, 1997.

Take notice that on August 18, 1997,

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation

(National Fuel), 10 Lafayette Square,

Buffalo, New York 14203, filed an

application pursuant to Section 7(b) of

the Natural Gas Act for an order

granting permission and approval to

abandon by sale three certificated

gathering lines to Greenridge Oil

Company (Greenridge). In addition,

National Fuel seeks a finding that the

facilities to be sold to Greenridge will be

non-jurisdictional, all as more fully set

forth in the application which is on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Specifically, National Fuel proposes

to abandon Line Q–14 (641 feet of 4-

inch pipeline), Line Q–15 (4,693 feet of

4-inch pipeline), and a portion of Line

Q–16 (12,360 feet of 4-inch pipeline),

located in Erie County, Pennsylvania.

National Fuel has agreed to sell these

facilities to Greenridge for $7,500.

Currently, Lines Q–14 and Q–15 are

inactive, but were previously used to

feed locally produced gas into National

Fuel’s system. Line Q–16 is connected

to three inactive wells and one active

well. National Fuel receives gas

produced by the Meridian Oil and Gas

at Station P–2560 on Line Q–16.

National Fuel states that these facilities

are no longer needed to purchase and

gather gas for its system supply.

National Fuel states that after

conveyance of the facilities, Greenridge

intends to drill wells in the area and use

the lines as gathering lines to feed gas

to National Fuel Gas Distribution

Corporation.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before

September 12, 1997, file with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE, Washington, D.C.

20426, a motion to intervene or a protest

in accordance with the requirements of

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)

and the Regulations under the Natural

Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests

filed with the Commission will be

considered by it in determining the

appropriate action to be taken but will

not serve to make protestants parties to

the proceeding. Any person wishing to

become a party to a proceeding or to

participate as a party in any hearing

therein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

Rules.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission by

Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act

and the Commission’s Rules of Practice

and Procedure, a hearing will be held

without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that a grant of the

certificate is required by the public

convenience and necessity. If a motion

for leave to intervene is timely filed, or

if the Commission on its own motion

believes that a formal hearing is

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be
