Peterson, Senior Vice President Assistant Secretary Seneca Independence National Fuel Gas Company Pipeline Company 10 Lafayette Square 10 Lafayette Square Buffalo, NY 14203 Buffalo, NY 14203 (Names and addresses of agents for service) Item 1 is hereby amended to add the following: A.. Description of Proposed Jurisdictional Transactions 1. Interest in Independence Pipeline Company The initial application-declaration stated in Item 1, Part (A)(1) that "Seneca Independence would become an equal partner in the Pipeline Partnership, and expects to acquire a 25% interest." Arrangements are not yet complete with an anticipated fourth partner, so that Seneca Independence now expects, at a closing in late February 1998, to acquire a 1/3 interest in the Pipeline Partnership. The financial statements attached as Exhibit S-1, S-2, S-5 and S-8 have been revised to reflect Seneca Independence's anticipated acquisition of a 1/3 interest in the Pipeline Partnership. This will make Seneca Independence an equal partner in the Pipeline Partnership. In the event the Pipeline Partnership wishes to add one or more partners, Seneca Independence may sell to the unaffiliated newcomer a portion of its interest in the Pipeline Partnership in order for all the partners to be equal partners. The applicants do not believe that such a sale would require Commission authorization. 2. Interest in DirectLink Gas Marketing Company The initial application-declaration stated in Item 1 Part (A)(2) that Niagara Independence became a 25% partner in the Marketing Partnership. The Marketing Partnership Agreement (Exhibit A-9) includes a provision whereby one of the partners is required to withdraw if certain events do not occur by specified dates. Those dates have passed without the required events occurring, so Niagara Independence is now effectively a 1/3 partner in the Marketing Partnership. The financial statements attached as Exhibit S-1, S-2 and S-9 have been revised to reflect Niagara Independence's ownership of a 1/3 interest as an equal partner in the Marketing Partnership. In the event the Marketing Partnership wishes to add one or more partners, Niagara Independence may sell to the unaffiliated newcomer a portion of its interest in the Marketing Partnership in order for all the partners to be equal partners. The applicants do not believe that such a sale would require Commission authorization. Item 6 is hereby amended to include the following: Amended Exhibits S-1, S-2, S-5 and S-6 are being filed with this Amendment No. 1, subject to the same request for confidential treatment as the Exhibits S-1, S-5 and S-6 originally filed. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Public Holding Utility Company Act of 1935, the undersigned company has duly caused this Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
