4. National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation

[Docket No. CP94-629-000]

Corporation (National), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 14203, 
filed in Docket No. CP94-629-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205 
and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

    National proposes to construct and operate a permanent delivery 
point on National's Line R-24 in Cattaraugus County, New York. National 
states that on June 20, 1994, Distribution began receiving emergency 
transportation service from National at this delivery point in order to 
maintain service to 300 customers who were in danger of losing service 
because Distribution had sustained a line hit on its Old Line R. 
National further states that Distribution then asked National to 
establish a permanent delivery point to Distribution from National's 
Line R-24 in Cattaraugus County, New York. It is stated that the total 
volumes to be delivered to Distribution will be 69,000 Mcf annually. It 
is further stated that Distribution constructed the necessary 
facilities at its expense to establish the new delivery point; 
therefore, National will incur no costs as a result of establishing the 
delivery point.
    Comment date: August 15, 1994, in accordance with Standard 
Paragraph G at the end of this notice.

Standard Paragraphs

    F. Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before the comment date, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 the 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 and/or permission and approval 
for the proposed 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 applicant to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
    G. 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 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 Natural Gas Act.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
