Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP09–151–000] 

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; 

Notice of Request Under Blanket 

Authorization 

April 16, 2009. 

Take notice that on April 14, 2009, 

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation 

(National Fuel), 6363 Main Street, 

Williamsville, New York 14221–5887, 

filed a prior notice request pursuant to 

Parts 157.205 and 157.216 of the 

Commission’s regulations under the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA) and National 

Fuel’s blanket certificate issued in 

Docket No. CP83–4–000, for 

authorization to abandon one injection/ 

withdrawal well in Wharton Storage 

Field located in Potter County, 

Pennsylvania, all as more fully set forth 

in the application, which is on file with 

the Commission and open to public 

inspection. The filing may also be 

viewed on the Web at http://

FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call 

toll-free, (866) 208–3676 or TTY, (202)

Specifically, National Fuel proposes 

to abandon one injection/withdrawal 

well (Well WH–34) and the associated 

well line (TRW–34) in Wharton Storage 

Field located in Potter County, 

Pennsylvania. National Fuel states that 

Well WH–34 is no longer useful due to 

poor injection performance and poor 

deliverability and needs to be 

reconditioned or plugged due to 

deterioration of the well casing. 

National Fuel asserts that all work will 

be confined to the existing well site. 

National Fuel states that after Well WH– 

34 is plugged and abandoned, the well 

site will be restored and revegetated. 

National Fuel also proposes to abandon 

in place well line TRW–34, totaling 

approximately 1,200 feet of 6-inch 

diameter well line. National Fuel asserts 

that the cost to construct similar 

facilities today is approximately $1 

million. National Fuel avers that the 

proposed abandonment will not result 

in a material decrease in service to 

customers. 

Any questions regarding the 

application should be directed to David 

W. Reitz, Deputy General Counsel, 

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation, 

6363 Main Street, Williamsville, New 

York 14221–5887, at (716) 857–7949. 

Any person may, within 60 days after 

the 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. Any person 

filing to intervene or the Commission’s 

staff may, pursuant to section 157.205 of 

the Commission’s regulations under the 

NGA (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to 

the request. If no protest is filed within 

the time allowed therefore, the proposed 

activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for protest. If a protest is 

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 NGA. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests, 

and interventions via the Internet in lieu 

of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) 

and the instructions on the 

Commission’s Web site (http:// 

www.ferc.gov) under the ‘‘e-Filing’’ link.

Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Project No. 12429–001—Montana] 

Clark Canyon Dam Hydroelectric 

Project; Notice of Availability of 

Environmental Assessment 

April 15, 2009. 

In accordance with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and 

the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission or FERC) 

regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 

486, 52 FR 47897), the Office of Energy 

Projects has reviewed Clark Canyon 

Hydro, LLC’s application for license for 

the proposed Clark Canyon Dam 

Hydroelectric Project, located at Clark 

Canyon reservoir on the Beaverhead 

River near the city of Dillon, Beaverhead 

County, Montana, and has prepared an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

project. The proposed project would 

occupy a total of 1.15 acres of Federal 

lands administered by the U.S. Bureau 

of Reclamation. 

The EA contains the staff’s analysis of 

the potential environmental impacts of 

the project, and concludes that licensing 

the project, with appropriate 

environmental protective measures, 

would not constitute a major Federal 

action that would significantly affect the 

quality of the human environment. 

A copy of the EA is available for 

review at the Commission in the Public 

Reference Room or may be viewed on 

the Commission’s Web site at http:// 

www.ferc.gov using the ‘‘eLibrary’’ link.
