Take notice that on November 25, 1996, National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (National), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 14203, filed in Docket No. CP97-120-000 a request pursuant to Sections 157.205, 157.211 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211 and 157.216) for authorization to abandon sales tap facilities and to construct and operate replacement sales tap facilities in Warren County, Pennsylvania under National's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-4-000 pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the request that is on file with the Commission And open to public inspection. National proposes to abandon and replace sales tap facilities at Station No. 2854, an existing sales tap at which National delivers gas to United Refining Company (United), an end-user, under National's FT and IT Rate Schedules. National states that the proposed construction consists principally of replacing: (i) two, 2-inch regulators with two 3-inch regulators; (ii) a 3-inch meter with a 4-inch meter; (iii) a 3- inch filter with a 4-inch filter; and (iv) a 2 x 3 relief valve with either a 3 x 4 or 4 x 6 relief valve. National states that the proposed replacement would increase the design delivery capacity from 5,200 Dth per day to approximately 10,600 Dth per day. National also states that this upgrade is necessary to meet the increased demand for gas by United. National states that the estimated cost of this project is $18,237, most of which National would be reimbursed by United. 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 If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for [[Page 64511]] authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
