    Take notice that on December 19, 2014 National Fuel Gas Supply

14221, filed in the above Docket, a prior notice request pursuant to 
sections 157.205, 157.208, 157.210 and 157.216 of the Commission's

certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-4-000, for authorization to 
replace certain portions of Line NM-44 NY and Line U NY in Erie County, 
New York. National Fuel proposes to (1) construct and operate

areas of new right-of-way are necessary and the estimated cost of work 
is $12 million, all as more fully set forth in the application which is

its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the Commission's 
public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of 
Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other 
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of 
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this 
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for 
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of 
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the 
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    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withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a protest, 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 (www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

    Dated: December 29, 2014.
