[Docket No. RP98-416-000]


National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

September 29, 1998.
    Take notice that on September 25, 1998, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Fourth Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on 
Appendix A to the filing, to be effective November 1, 1998.
    National Fuel states that the purpose of this filing is to 
establish a seasonal firm service under new Rate Schedule FT-S (Firm 
Transportation Service--Seasonal) to comply with the Commission's 
directive in its April 22, 1998 order in Docket No. CP98-94-000 (83 
FERC 61,058) authorizing the construction and operation of the 
facilities comprising Phase II of National Fuel's 1997 Niagara 
Expansion Project.
    National Fuel states that on May 29, 1998, Renaissance Energy 
(U.S.), Inc. (Renaissance) and National Fuel entered into a service 
agreement (the Renaissance Agreement) for service to commence on 
November 1, 1998. The Renaissance Agreement contains provisions which 
deviate from the form of service agreement contained in National Fuel's 
Volume No. 1 FERC Gas Tariff because the Renaissance Agreement is 
tailored around the specific circumstances of Phase II of National 
Fuel's 1997 Niagara Expansion Project, it is stated.
    National Fuel states that because the Renaissance Agreement 
contains provisions which may deviate in a material aspect from the FT 
and FT-S Rate Schedules, pursuant to Section 154.1(d) of the 
Commission's regulations, National Fuel is filing the agreement with 
the Commission and requesting that the Commission accept and permit it 
to become effective November 1, 1998. National Fuel also states that, 
pursuant to Section 154.112(b) of the Commission's Regulations, the 
tendered tariff sheets include a reference to the Renaissance 
Agreement.
    National Fuel states that it is serving copies of the filing upon 
its firm customers and interested state commissions. Copies are also 
being served on all interruptible customers as of the date of this 
filing.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations. 
Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestant 
parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must 
file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the 
Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public 
Reference Room.
