Take notice that on August 4, 2003, National Fuel Gas Supply Corp.
(National Fuel), 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 14203, filed in
Docket No. CP03-345-000, an application pursuant to section 7(c) of the
Natural Gas Act, as amended (NGA), and of part 157 of the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission) Regulations thereunder, for
a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing National
Fuel to construct and operate certain facilities located in Potter
County, Pennsylvania, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
This application is available for review at the Commission in the
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link. Enter the docket number

National Fuel states that it proposes to construct and operate an
interconnection station to establish direct connection between its
existing gas transmission facilities and the Hebron Storage Field,
which are not currently directly connected. National Fuel states that
the Hebron Storage Field is jointly owned by National Fuel and
Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company (Tennessee), and currently National Fuel
must have its withdrawal gas delivered by Tennessee. National Fuel
states that the proposed interconnect station will be used for
withdrawal of gas only and will increase the maximum deliverability for
the storage field early in the injection season from approximately 385
MMcf per day to approximately 425 MMcf per day.
National Fuel indicates that the new interconnection station would
include a metering and regulation station and associated pipeline
facilities and would be located on its 24-inch transmission pipeline,
designated Line Y-M2, near the Hebron Storage Field in Hebron Township,
Potter County, Pennsylvania. National Fuel estimates the cost of
constructing the proposed facilities is $1,434,192.
Any questions regarding the application should be directed to David
W. Reitz, Deputy General Counsel for National Fuel, 10 Lafayette
Square, Buffalo, New York 14203 at (719) 857-7949, or at
reitzd@natfuel.com. There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene 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 NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission
and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
Protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the
Internet in lieu of paper; see 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission's Web site under the ``e-Filing'' link.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
Comment Date: August 18, 2003.
Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
