[Docket No. CP97-618-000]


National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Application

July 9, 1997.
    Take notice that on July 2, 1997, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel) 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 
14203, filed in Docket No. CP97-618-000 an application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to 
abandon by sale to Puma Resources Holdings, Inc. (Puma), Line D-69 
along with appurtenances, in Erie, Pennsylvania, and for the Commission 
to determine that Line D-69 will be exempt from the jurisdiction 
following the sale to Puma, all as more fully set forth in the 
application on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Specifically, National Fuel proposes to abandon Line D-69 which is 
12,805 feet in length and 4 inches in diameter, its appurtenances, to 
Puma for $1,000. National Fuel states that the line and facilities will 
be used for gathering purposes and requests that the Commission 
determine that such facilities will not be subject to the Commission's 
jurisdiction after the sale.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said application should on or before July 30, 1997, file 
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 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 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 herein provided for, unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for Williston Basin to appear or be represented 
at the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
