August 3, 2004.

Take notice that on July 30, 2004, National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (National) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, Fourth Revised Volume No.1, Sixty Sixth Revised Sheet No. 9, to become effective August 1, 2004. National explains that it submits this filing pursuant to a settlement approved by the Commission on February 16, 1996, in the proceedings in Docket Nos. RP94-367-000 et al. National notes that the settlement was revised in a compliance filing approved by the Commission February 7, 2001.

National states that Article II, sections 1 and 2 of the settlement provide that National will recalculate the maximum Interruptible Gathering (IG) rate semi-annually and monthly. National further states that section 2 of Article II provides that the IG rate will be the recalculated monthly rate, commencing on the first day of the following month, if the result is an IG rate more than 2 cents above or below the IG rate as calculated under section 1 of Article II. The recalculation produced an IG rate of $0.75 per dth and in addition, Article III, section 1 states that any overruns of the Firm Gathering service provided by National shall be priced at the maximum IG rate.

National states copies of the filing has been served on all customers on the service list and interested State commissions.
