[Docket No. CP19-4-000]
National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization
Take notice that on October 11, 2018, National Fuel Gas Supply
Corporation (National Fuel), 6363 Main Street, Williamsville, New York
14221, filed in Docket No. CP19-4-000, a Prior Notice Request pursuant
to sections 157.205 and 157.216 of the Commission's regulations under
the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and National Fuel's blanket certificate
issued in Docket No. CP83-4-000, requesting authorization to plug and
abandon one injection/withdrawal (I/W) well (Zoar Well 804-I) and
abandon in place approximately 212 feet of 4-inch-diameter associated
well line (AW 804) in the Zoar Storage Field located in Eerie County,
New York. National Fuel states elevated levels of corrosion were found
in the production casing of Zoar Well 804-I during evaluations and
rehabilitation would be cost prohibitive due to the well's
configuration and historically low volume deliverability, all as more
fully described 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

Corporation, 6363 Main Street, Williamsville, New York 14221, by

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not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a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 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 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 and will be
notified of any 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 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 3 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington,
DC 20426.
Dated: October 22, 2018.

Secretary.
