    Take notice that on August 4, 2003, National Fuel Gas Supply Corp. 
(National Fuel), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 14203, filed in 
Docket No. CP03-345-000, an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the

Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Regulations thereunder, for 
a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing National 
Fuel to construct and operate certain facilities located in Potter 
County, Pennsylvania, all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. 
This application is available for review at the Commission in the 
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at

    National Fuel states that it proposes to construct and operate an 
interconnection station to establish direct connection between its 
existing gas transmission facilities and the Hebron Storage Field, 
which are not currently directly connected. National Fuel states that 
the Hebron Storage Field is jointly owned by National Fuel and 
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee), and currently National Fuel 
must have its withdrawal gas delivered by Tennessee. National Fuel 
states that the proposed interconnect station will be used for 
withdrawal of gas only and will increase the maximum deliverability for 
the storage field early in the injection season from approximately 385 
MMcf per day to approximately 425 MMcf per day.
    National Fuel indicates that the new interconnection station would 
include a metering and regulation station and associated pipeline 
facilities and would be located on its 24-inch transmission pipeline, 
designated Line Y-M2, near the Hebron Storage Field in Hebron Township, 
Potter County, Pennsylvania. National Fuel estimates the cost of 
constructing the proposed facilities is $1,434,192.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to David 
W. Reitz, Deputy General Counsel for National Fuel, 10 Lafayette 
Square, Buffalo, New York 14203 at (719) 857-7949, or at 
[email protected].
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person 
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by 
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all 
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must 
submit 14 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission 
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. Only 
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders 
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the 
Internet in lieu of paper; see 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the 
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link. 
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
    Comment Date: August 18, 2003.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
