157.211 of the Commission’s

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.205, 157.211) for

authorization to relocate sales tap

facilities used to render service to an

existing firm transportation customer,

National Fuel Gas Distribution

Corporation (Distribution), located in

Elk County, Pennsylvania, under

National Fuel’s blanket certificate

issued in Docket No. CP83–4–000,

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural

Commission and open to public

inspection.

National Fuel proposes to relocate an

existing sales tap, designated as Station

T–No. 1374, utilized for transportation

service for Distribution, located in

Jefferson County, Pennsylvania.

National Fuel states that the new station

will be located in Elk County,

Pennsylvania, approximately three

miles east of the existing station, which

will be moved in its entirety. National

Fuel declares that it is necessary to

relocate Station T–No. 1374 because the

line it is currently located on, Line F–

97(S), is in a deteriorated condition and

is scheduled for abandonment. National

Fuel asserts that it will submit an

application pursuant to Section 7(b) of

the Commission’s Regulations in the

near future with regard to Line F–97(S).

National Fuel declares that it

anticipates the flow at the new station,

also designated Station T–1374, will be

1,953 Mcf per day with a maximum

capacity estimated to be 4,583 Mcf per

day. National Fuel states the cost of

relocating this station is estimated to be

$125,000.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after issuance of

the instant notice by the Commission,

file pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention 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 activity shall be deemed to

be authorized effective the day after the

time allowed for filing a protest. If a

protest if filed and not withdrawn

within 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.
