National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Proposed Changes 
in FERC Gas Tariff

August 6, 1996.
    Take notice that on August 2, 1996, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, the following tariff sheets with a proposed effective date of 
September 1, 1996:

Fourth Revised Sheet No. 211
Original Sheet No. 211A

    National Fuel states that this filing reflects proposed changes to 
National Fuel's Firm and Interruptible Rate Schedules to provide 
options for customers to purchase storage and/or transportation service 
at negotiated rates, with the recourse rates being the existing rates 
for the same class of service.
    National Fuel requests the Commission waive its Regulations, to the 
extent necessary, to permit the proposed tariff sheets to become 
effective on September 1, 1996. In this regard, National Fuel states in 
its Policy Statement, the Commission declared that it does not intend 
to suspend negotiated rate filings and will grant waiver of the 30-day 
notice requirement. Statement of Policy and Request for Comments, 74 
FERC para. 61,076 (1996) at 61,241-42.
    In the event the Commission elects to suspend the tariff sheets, 
pursuant to Section 154.7(a)(9), National Fuel states that its 
intention that such tariff sheets be moved into effect at the end of 
the applicable suspension period.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Rule 211 or 214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 or 385.214). All such motions or protests 
must be filed as provided in Section 154.210 of the Commission's 
Regulations. Protests will be considered by the Commission in 
determining the appropriate action to be taken but will not serve to 
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to 
become a party must file a motion to intervene. Copies of this filing 
are on file with the Commission and are available for public 
inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
