[Docket No. CP99-85-000]
National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Application
November 30, 1998.
Take notice that on November 23, 1998, National Fuel Gas Supply
Corporation (National Fuel), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York
14203, filed in Docket No. CP99-85-000 an application pursuant to
Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act for permission and approval to
abandon certain facilities in Venango County, Pennsylvania, all as more
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection.
National Fuel proposes to abandon approximately 5,822 feet of 6-
inch steel pipeline, known as Line N-M31, located in Venango County,
Pennsylvania, because of its age and deteriorated condition. National
Fuel also proposes to abandon in its entirety Station T-No. 2261, a
regulator station, located on Line N-M31, which was used to reduce the
pressure of Line N-M31 to 60 psig. National Fuel states that the
abandonment will not have an effect on its existing services because
National Fuel's existing parallel Line N-M43 has sufficient capacity to
maintain current delivery volumes and will provide more reliable
service.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said Application should on or before December 21, 1998,
file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street,
NE, Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene or a protest in
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 or 18 CFR 385.214) and the Regulations
under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with the
Commission will be considered by it in determining the appropriate
action to be taken but will not serve to make the protestants parties
to the proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party to a proceeding
or to participate as a party in any hearing therein must file a motion
to intervene in accordance with the Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that pursuant to the authority contained in and
subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Commission by Sections 7
and 15 of the Natural Gas Act and the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure, a hearing will be held without further notice before the
Commission or its designee on this Application if no petition to
intervene is filed within the time required herein, if the Commission
on its own review of the matter finds that a grant of the abandonment
is required by the public convenience and necessity. If a petition for
leave to intervene is timely filed, or if the Commission, on its own
motion believes that a formal hearing is required, further notice of
such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Applicant to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
David P. Boergers,
Secretary.
