May 15, 1997.
    Take notice that on May 7, 1997, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York

Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to 
abandon a firm transportation service with Transcontinental Energy 
Marketing Company (Transco), which was authorized in Docket No. CP88-
171, et al., all as more fully set forth in the application on file 
with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    National Fuel proposes to abandon a firm transportation service 
with Transco in connection with the conversion of this service from 
Rate Schedule X-57 to service under National Fuel's FT Rate Schedule, 
provided under Part 284 of the Commission's regulations. National Fuel

[[Page 27730]]

application should on or before June 5, 1997, 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.
    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 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 a formal hearing is required, further notice of such 
hearing will be duly given.
    Under the procedure provided for, unless otherwise advised, it will 
be unnecessary for National Fuel to appear or be represented at the 
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
