Sections 157.205 and 157.214 of the Commission's Regulations under the

capacity from 3.3 Bcf (with 1.8 Bcf working gas) to 3.9 Bcf (with 2.4 
Bcf of working gas). National Fuel asserts that the new capacity 
resulting from this proposal will support storage service to be offered

the Keelor Storage Field will not require additional facilities within 
the meaning of the Commission's regulations. National Fuel indicates 
that the current and requested maximum storage pressures are 625 psig.
    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 therefore, 
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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 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 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act.
