[Docket No. CP16-7-000]
National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
Take notice that on October 15, 2015, National Fuel Gas Supply
Corporation (National Fuel), 6363 Main Street Williamsville, New York
14221-5887, filed in Docket No. CP16-7-000 a prior notice request
pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's
regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, requesting
authorization to abandon an injection/withdrawal well (Well 5596) at
its Henderson Storage Field in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. National
Fuel avers that Well 5596 is leaking from the production casing and
cannot be economically repaired. National Fuel asserts that with the
abandonment of the well, the associated well line will no longer be
required and thus requests authorization to abandon in place the
approximately 775 feet of 4-inch-diameter pipe. National Fuel states
that it will replace an existing culvert crossing on an access road as
part of the abandonment activities. National Fuel states that the
proposed abandonment of Well 5596 and the associated well line will
have no impact on National Fuel's existing customers or storage
operations, 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, please
contact FERC Online Support at [email protected] or toll free

Any questions concerning this application may be directed to
Kenneth E. Webster, Attorney, National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation,
6363 Main Street, Williamsville, New York, 14221-5887, by telephone at
(716) 857-7067, by facsimile at (716) 857-7206, or by email at
[email protected].
Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 days after
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 and pursuant to section 157.205 of
the regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205), 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 filing a protest. If a protest is filed and
not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for
authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
complete 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.
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 in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and seven copies of the protest or intervention to
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
Dated: October 22, 2015.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
