[Docket No. CP97-236-000]
National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Application
February 12, 1997.
Take notice that on February 6, 1997, National Fuel Gas Supply
Corporation (National), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 14203,
filed in Docket No. CP97-236-000 an application pursuant to Section
7(b) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's
Regulations, for authority to abandon certain underground natural gas
storage facilities, all as more fully set forth in the application on
file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
National proposes to abandon an observation well, designated as
Well 1557, because it is no longer reliable as a pressure indicator for
the field. National further proposes to abandon well line S-1557, a
gathering line attached to Well 1557 which serves no other purpose.
National estimates the cost of performing the plugging and abandonment
of the well and the gathering line to be $20,000.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before March 5, 1997, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, D.C. 20426) a motion to intervene or a protest in
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 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 Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Section 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 motion to intervene is filed within the time
required herein, if the Commission on its on review of the matter finds
that permission and approval for the proposed abandonment is required
by the public convenience and necessity. If a motion 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 National to appear or be represented at the
hearing.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
