National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

November 29, 1996.
    Take notice that on November 25, 1996, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 14203, 
filed in Docket No. CP97-120-000 a request pursuant to Sections 
157.205, 157.211 and 157.216 of the Commission's Regulations under the 
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205, 157.211 and 157.216) for authorization 
to abandon sales tap facilities and to construct and operate 
replacement sales tap facilities in Warren County, Pennsylvania under 
National's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-4-000 pursuant 
to Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act, all as more fully set forth in the 
request that is on file with the Commission And open to public 
inspection.
    National proposes to abandon and replace sales tap facilities at 
Station No. 2854, an existing sales tap at which National delivers gas 
to United Refining Company (United), an end-user, under National's FT 
and IT Rate Schedules. National states that the proposed construction 
consists principally of replacing: (i) two, 2-inch regulators with two 
3-inch regulators; (ii) a 3-inch meter with a 4-inch meter; (iii) a 3-
inch filter with a 4-inch filter; and (iv) a 2 x 3 relief valve with 
either a 3 x 4 or 4 x 6 relief valve.
    National states that the proposed replacement would increase the 
design delivery capacity from 5,200 Dth per day to approximately 10,600 
Dth per day. National also states that this upgrade is necessary to 
meet the increased demand for gas by United. National states that the 
estimated cost of this project is $18,237, most of which National would 
be reimbursed by United.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 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 Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to 
the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, 
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and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for
