National Fuel proposes to abandon by sale to Universal a
certificated gathering line designated as Line R-1, located in Warren
County, Pennsylvania. Line R-1 consists of approximately 6,327 feet of
4-inch pipeline. National Fuel has agreed to sell the facilities to
Universal for $1,550. National Fuel states that the proposed
abandonment will not adversely affect its ability to provide
transportation service to its customers.
Additionally, National Fuel requests a determination that
subsequent to their transfer, Line R-1 and the appurtenant facilities
will be nonjurisdictional gathering facilities whose operation by
Universal will not be subject to the Commission's jurisdiction.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before June 19, 1997, 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 385.214 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
[[Page 30577]]
the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy Regulatory
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 motion to intervene is filed within the time required
herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that
permission and approval for the proposed abandonment are 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 Fuel to appear or be represented at
the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
