[Docket No. CP04-421-000]


National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Application; 
Notice of Application

October 1, 2004.
    Take notice that on September 29, 2004, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel), 6363 Main Street, Williamsville, New York 
14221, filed in Docket No. CP04-421-000 an application pursuant to 
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and the Commission's 
Regulations, for authorization to abandon one (1) 225 horsepower (hp) 
compressor unit, with appurtenances, at the Nashville Compressor 
Station located in Chautauqua County, New York, 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 also viewed on the Web at 
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket 
number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to

at [email protected] or toll free at (866) 208-3676, or TTY, 
contact (202) 502-8659.
    National Fuel's application states that compressor Unit 2 
at its Nashville Compressor Station has not been in use for several 
years and is no longer needed because its system has undergone changes 
in its operating configuration since the unit was initially installed 
in 1957. National Fuel asserts that the abandonment of facilities will 
not result in the abandonment of service to any of its existing 
shippers nor will the proposed abandonment adversely affect capacity, 
since the compression is no longer needed to meet current firm service 
obligations.\1\ National Fuel also asserts minimal environmental 
impact.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The remaining units at Nashville provide the necessary 
compression (Nashville compressors: Unit 1-660 hp, Unit 
3-660 hp and Unit 4-2,000 hp, totaling 3,320 hp).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
David W. Reitz, Deputy General Counsel for National Fuel, 6363 Main 
Street, Williamsville, New York 14221 at (716) 857-7949.
    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

[[Page 60385]]

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 with the 
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other 
party in the proceeding. 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.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    Comment Date: October 22, 2004.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
