[Docket No. RP98-416-000]
National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Proposed Changes
in FERC Gas Tariff
September 29, 1998.
Take notice that on September 25, 1998, National Fuel Gas Supply
Corporation (National Fuel) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas
Tariff, Fourth Revised Volume No. 1, the tariff sheets listed on
Appendix A to the filing, to be effective November 1, 1998.
National Fuel states that the purpose of this filing is to
establish a seasonal firm service under new Rate Schedule FT-S (Firm
Transportation Service--Seasonal) to comply with the Commission's
directive in its April 22, 1998 order in Docket No. CP98-94-000 (83
FERC 61,058) authorizing the construction and operation of the
facilities comprising Phase II of National Fuel's 1997 Niagara
Expansion Project.
National Fuel states that on May 29, 1998, Renaissance Energy
(U.S.), Inc. (Renaissance) and National Fuel entered into a service
agreement (the Renaissance Agreement) for service to commence on
November 1, 1998. The Renaissance Agreement contains provisions which
deviate from the form of service agreement contained in National Fuel's
Volume No. 1 FERC Gas Tariff because the Renaissance Agreement is
tailored around the specific circumstances of Phase II of National
Fuel's 1997 Niagara Expansion Project, it is stated.
National Fuel states that because the Renaissance Agreement
contains provisions which may deviate in a material aspect from the FT
and FT-S Rate Schedules, pursuant to Section 154.1(d) of the
Commission's regulations, National Fuel is filing the agreement with
the Commission and requesting that the Commission accept and permit it
to become effective November 1, 1998. National Fuel also states that,
pursuant to Section 154.112(b) of the Commission's Regulations, the
tendered tariff sheets include a reference to the Renaissance
Agreement.
National Fuel states that it is serving copies of the filing upon
its firm customers and interested state commissions. Copies are also
being served on all interruptible customers as of the date of this
filing.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in
accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in
accordance with Section 154.210 of the Commission's Regulations.
Protests will be considered by the Commission in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to make protestant
parties to the proceedings. Any person wishing to become a party must
file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the
Commission and are available for public inspection in the Public
Reference Room.
