[Docket No. CP90-2086-002]
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.
