project. Therefore, National Fuel

proposes to amend its Rate Schedule FT

to establish a reservation surcharge

applicable to Renaissance, calculated to

recover the differential. National Fuel

proposes a reservation surcharge of

$2.3565 per Dth.

National Fuel requests that the

Commission make a determination that

rolled-in rate treatment is appropriate

for the costs and revenues associated

with its 1997 Niagara Expansion

Project—Phase II, other than the costs

allocated to the proposed surcharge.

National Fuel contends that if the Rate

Schedule FT surcharge is approved and

costs are allocated in the manner

discussed in Section VIII of its

application, the project would not

increase the rates of any of National

Fuel’s firm shippers by more than 0.02

percent.

In addition, National Fuel requests

waiver of Section 3.2 of its Rate

Schedule FT to the extent necessary to

permit National Fuel to accept a

guaranty from Renaissance’s parent

company, Renaissance Energy Ltd. of

the obligations of Renaissance under the

service agreement to be executed by

National Fuel and Renaissance.

National Fuel requests that the

Commission issue an order granting the

authorization requested herein on or

before March 1, 1998, to allow for

commencement of the new service as

scheduled on November 1, 1998.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

amendment should on or before

December 15, 1997, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, N.E., 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 the 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

with further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, or

if the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that permission and

approval for the proposed certificate

and abandonment are 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

unnecessary for National Fuel to appear

or be represented at the hearing.

Acting Secretary.
