[Docket No. CP09-452-000]


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

September 10, 2009.
    Take notice that on August 5, 2009, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel), 6363 Main Street, Williamsville, New York 
14221, filed in Docket No. CP09-452-000, a prior notice request 
pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act for 
authorization to abandon certain minor underground natural gas storage 
facilities, located in Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, all as more 
fully set forth in the application, which is on file with the 
Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may also be 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 access the document. For assistance, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    Specifically, National Fuel proposes to plug and abandon one 
injection/withdrawal well, Well 4885 and to abandon the associated well 
line GW-4885, consisting of approximately 500 feet of 4-inch diameter 
pipeline, in the Galbraith Storage Field, located in Jefferson County, 
Pennsylvania. National Fuel states that the well is no longer useful 
due to poor injection performance and poor deliverability and needs to 
be reconditioned or plugged due to deterioration of the well casing. 
National Fuel declares that the well line will serve no purpose once 
the well is plugged and abandoned. National Fuel asserts that due to 
the poor performance of Well 4885, the proposed abandonment will not 
result in a material decrease in service to customers.
    National Fuel states that due to inadvertence, a landowner 
notification letter was not sent out within three business days 
following the date that the docket number was assigned. National Fuel 
requests that the Commission issue a second notice to restart the 60-
day protest period.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to David 
W. Reitz, Deputy General Counsel, National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation, 
6363 Main Street, Williamsville, New York 14221, or call at (716) 857-
7949.
    Any person may, within 60 days after the 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. Any person filing to intervene or the Commission's staff 
may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for 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 NGA.
    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 (http://www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

Kimberly D. Bose,
 Secretary.
