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

August 30, 1999.
    Take notice that on August 26, 1999, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, Fourth Revised Volume No. 1, the following tariff sheets, with 
a proposed effective date of November 1, 1999.

Second Revised Sheet No. 12
Sheet Nos. 13 through 22
First Revised Sheet No. 30
First Revised Sheet No. 36C
First Revised Sheet No. 407
First Revised Sheet No. 478

    National Fuel states that its filing is made to implement its 
agreement with ProGas U.S.A., Inc. (ProGas) regarding the services and 
rates to be provided by National Fuel following National Fuel's 
acquisition of the interests of Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation 
(Texas Eastern) in the Niagara Spur Loop Line (NSLL) and the Ellisburg 
to Leidy Pipeline (ELL), which acquisition is pending Commission 
approval in Docket No. CP99-569-000. National Fuel states that, in 
order to replicate Texas Eastern's existing service for ProGas through 
the NSLL and the ELL, and to reflect certain contingencies unique to 
this transaction, its agreement with ProGas departs from its form of 
service agreement in certain respects, and is filed pursuant to Section 
154.112(b) of the Commission's regulations, together with a tariff 
reference to the agreement.
    National Fuel also states it proposes to revise Section 17 of its 
General Terms and Conditions to provide that National Fuel may seek a 
discount adjustment in future rate cases relating to services that are 
converted from discount services to negotiated rate services, and to 
revise Section 3.5 of its FT and FT-S Rate Schedules to clarify that 
the maximum rates applicable to a shipper utilizing Zones 1 and 3 of 
its Niagara import point project capacity is the sum of the maximum 
rates applicable to Zones 1 and 3.
    National Fuel states that its filing also is made to implement an 
amendment to its agreement with ProGas, which provides for a negotiated 
rate pursuant to Section 17.2 of the General Terms and Conditions of 
National Fuel's tariff.
    National Fuel states that copies of this filing were served upon 
its customers and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with 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 proceedings. 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 in the Public 
Reference Room. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
