National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Petition To 
Vacate In-Part

January 23, 1996.
    Take notice that on January 18, 1996, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 14203, 
filed in Docket No. CP96-49-001 a ``Notice of Continuation of Service'' 
stating that National would continue service to Boston Gas Company 
(Boston Gas) under National's SS-2 Rate Schedule, all as more fully set 
forth in the amendment on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection.
    On December 19, 1995, the Commission issued an order in Docket No. 
CP96-49-000, granting the authority requested by National on 

[[Page 2817]]
November 3, 1995, to abandon storage service to Boston Gas under 
National's SS-2 Rate Schedule and to abandon storage service to three 
other customers (Orange & Rockland Utilities, Inc., Penn Fuel Gas, Inc. 
and The Southern Connecticut Gas Company), effective April 1, 1996.\1\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    National states that following the filing of National's 
application, National and Boston Gas entered into negotiations over the 
continuation of Boston Gas' SS-2 service. National states that these 
negotiations have culminated in an agreement extending the primary term 
of Boston Gas' SS-2 service agreement through March 31, 1998. National 
states that, in this regard, National is authorized by Boston Gas to 
state that Boston Gas rescinds its notice of termination given to 
National in March, 1995. National states that it deletes Boston Gas 
from the services it proposed to terminate.
    The Commission will treat National's Notice of Continuation of 
Service as a petition to vacate in-part the authorization granted 
pursuant to Section 7(b) in Docket No. CP96-49-000.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said petition should on or before February 7, 1996, 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.
