[Docket No. CP99-312-000]


National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

April 19, 1999.
    Take notice that on April 14, 1999, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 
14203, filed in Docket No. CP99-312-000 a request pursuant to sections 
157.205 and 157.212 of the Commission's Regulations under the Natural 
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.212) for authorization to construct and 
operate facilities at an existing delivery point used to render service 
to an existing firm transportation customer, National Fuel Gas 
Distribution Corporation (Distribution) in Erie County, New York, under 
National Fuel's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-4-000 
pursuant to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set 
forth in the request that is 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).
    National Fuel proposes to construct and operate facilities at the 
Vicksburg Station, which is a delivery point used to serve 
Distribution. National Fuel states that the new facilities include two 
12-inch meters, two 8-inch regulator and monitor sets, one 4-inch 
regulator and monitor set, and upstream and downstream piping, valves, 
fittings, controllers, etc. National Fuel estimates the cost of 
construction to be $750,000. National Fuel declares the peak day 
capacity of this station is 120 MMcf and 6,200 MMcf per year. It is 
further indicated that the proposed construction will not increase 
Distribution's authorized level of service or the capacity of the 
station.
    National Fuel states that in connection with this project, it will 
also be purchasing certain facilities at the Vicksburg Station from 
Distribution, including approximately 200 feet of 20-inch inlet piping, 
a three valve tee (valve numebrs TN3104, TN3105 and TN3106), which 
consists of two 16-inch valves and one 20-inch valve, a gas heater and 
a path of the outlet piping and some additional miscellaneous 
downstream piping. National Fuel states that these facilities will be 
purchased from Distribution at its net book value, which will be 
approximately $166,800.
    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 therefor, 
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.

Secretary.
