[Docket No. CP99-160-001]


National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Amendment

April 26, 1999.
    Take notice that on April 22, 1999, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 
14203, filed in Docket No. CP99-160-001 to amend its pending 
application filed January 19, 1999, in Docket CP99-160-000 to uprate a 
compressor unit at its Ellisburg Compressor Station to provide 
additional firm transportation service from Ellisburg, Pennsylvania to 
Leidy, Pennsylvania, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which 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 (please call (202) 208-0400 for assistance).
    National Fuel states that in its application, it estimated the cost 
of the proposed uprating to be $101,600. National Fuel asserts that it 
has since learned that it will be required to purchase emission 
reduction credits in order to obtain a modified emissions permit for 
Unit 1A from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. 
National Fuel estimates that the cost of these credits and related 
expenses will be approximately $122,000, increasing the estimated 
project cost to $233,600. National Fuel indicates that it has reviewed 
the Environmental Report included with the application (Exhibit Z-1) 
and Resource Report No. 9 in particular, and has determined that no 
changes are necessary to this report.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with 
reference to said amendment should on or before May 4, 1999, file with 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., 
Washington, D.C. 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 
National 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

[[Page 23292]]

Rules. Any person who filed to intervene in Docket No. CP99-160-000 
need not file again.
    Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in 
and subject to 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 with further notice before the Commission or its designee on this 
application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time required 
herein, or if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that 
permission and approval for the proposed certificate and 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 National Fuel to appear or be represented at 
the hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
