[Docket No. CP96-85-000]


National Fuel Gas Supply Corp.; Notice of Application for 
Abandonment

November 30, 1995.
    Take notice that on November 24, 1995, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 
14203, filed in Docket No. CP96-85-000, an application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's 
Regulations for an order permitting and approving the abandonment of 
certain minor underground natural gas storage facilities in Elk County, 
Pennsylvania, all as more fully set forth in the application which is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    National Fuel states that it proposes to abandon wells and well 
lines in its St. Mary's storage field in the city of St. Mary's, Elk 
County, Pennsylvania. National Fuel relates that these wells and lines 
are located in a poor deliverability area of the St. Mary's reservoir 
and are used for observation purposes only. National Fuel estimates the 
cost of abandoning the instant facilities will be $60,000.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before December 21, 1995, 
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 and 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 in any proceeding herein 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 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 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 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 National Fuel to appear or to be represented 
at the hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
