National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Petition to Amend

October 4, 1995.
    Take notice that on September 21, 1995, as supplemented on 
September 29,1 995, National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (National 
Fuel), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, NY 14203, filed with the 
Commission in Docket No. CP90-2086-002 a petition pursuant to Section 
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting authority to amend its 
certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing operation 
of the Limestone Storage Field (Limestone) on a permanent basis, all as 
more fully set forth in the petition which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection.
    By order dated November 28, 1990, in Docket No. CP90-2086-000, the 
Commission issued to National Fuel a certificate authorizing the 
operation of Limestone, then known as the Allegany State Park Storage 
Field, for a period of three years. By order dated November 4, 1993, 
the Commission extended the term of National Fuel's authorization to 
operate Limestone to the earlier of December 31, 1995, or the effective 
date of a permanent certificate.
    National Fuel states that it is now seeking permanent authorization 
to operate Limestone as an interstate storage facility pursuant to 
Section 7 of the NGA. National Fuel says that a permanent certificate 
for Limestone will enable National Fuel to provide long term storage 
services for National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation under National 
Fuel's ESS rate schedule. National Fuel does not propose to construct 
or acquire any new facilities at this time.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before October 25, 1995, 
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 825 North Capitol 
Street NE., Washington, DC 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 

[[Page 52908]]
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 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, 
ti will be unnecessary for National Fuel to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
