[Docket No. CP99-280-000]


National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Application

April 8, 1999.
    Take notice that on March 31, 1999, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 
14203, filed an application in Docket No. CP99-280-000 pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's 
Regulations, for authority to abandon a storage line, all as more fully 
set forth in the application on file with the Commission and open to 
public inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
www.ferc.fed.us/online/rims.htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Specifically, National Fuel proposes to abandon a well line, 
designated Line SW-386, in its East Branch Storage Field located in 
Mckean County, Pennsylvania. National Fuel proposes to abandon Line SW-
386 because the line serves no purpose since the well it is connected 
to, Well 386-P, was plugged and abandoned pursuant to the Commission's 
regulations at 18 CFR Part 284, Subpart I. National Fuel states that 
the abandonment of Line SW-386 will have no significant environmental 
impact because Line SW-386 is above-ground and no excavation will be 
required.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make a protest with reference 
to said application should on or before April 29, 1999, file with the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, 
DC 20426, a motion to intervene or protest in accordance with the 
requirements of the Commissions 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

[[Page 18418]]

filed with the Commission will be considered by it in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to make the 
protestant a party 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 Commission by 
Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and the Commissions 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 procedures herein provide for unless otherwise advised, 
it will be unnecessary for National Fuel to appear or to be represented 
at the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
