Item 1.  Description of Proposed Transactions

         National Fuel Gas Company ("National") is a public 
utility holding company registered under the Public Utility 
Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended ("Act").  Each 
wholly-owned subsidiary of National has joined in this 
application-declaration.  Such subsidiaries include National Fuel 
Gas Distribution Corporation ("Distribution"), National Fuel Gas 
Supply Corporation ("Supply"), Seneca Resources Corporation 
("Seneca"), Utility Constructors, Inc. ("UCI"), Highland Land & 
Minerals, Inc. ("Highland"), Leidy Hub, Inc. ("Leidy"), Horizon 
Energy Development, Inc. ("Horizon"), Data-Track Account Services, 
Inc. ("Data-Track"), and National Fuel Resources, Inc. ("NFR").  
National and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to herein 
as the National Fuel Gas System ("System").

         National and its subsidiaries have filed this 
application-declaration in connection with their 1996-2000 
short-term financing program.  Applicant-declarants seek 
authorization from the Commission for National to renew and/or 
increase its commercial paper facilities and to establish external 
short-term credit facilities through December 31, 2000.

         Applicant-declarants further seek authorization for 
National to issue commercial paper and/or incur borrowings for its 
own account and also to loan some or all of the proceeds from such 
borrowings to its subsidiaries to the extent that such loans are 
not exempt under 17 CFR 250.52 ("Rule 52").  In addition, 
authorization is requested for National to continue a money pool 
arrangement among National and its subsidiaries.

         Further, National has and will continue to enter into 
interest rate and currency exchange agreements ("Swap Agreements") 
with one or more parties in order to achieve interest rate 
protection with respect to a portion of its short-term 
indebtedness which may be outstanding from time to time.  National 
hereby seeks authority to allocate expenses, payments and receipts 
associated with such interest swaps amongst its subsidiaries 
participating in the money pool arrangement.


BORROWING REQUIREMENTS

         Pursuant to Rule 52, loans from National to any of its 
subsidiaries except Distribution are exempt transactions under the 
Act.  Since, however, National must obtain authorization to borrow 
the funds it lends to its subsidiaries, the following information 
regarding the borrowing requirements of National and each of its 
subsidiaries is being provided to substantiate the dollar amount 
of borrowings for which National is seeking authorization.

PAGE 3 OF 16

         National

         It is anticipated that, from to time during 1996 through 
2000, National may need to incur short-term borrowings for its own 
corporate purposes, including Project Activities as described 
below under Horizon's borrowing requirements, in amounts up to $75 
million.

         Distribution

         It is anticipated that, from time to time during 1996 
through 2000, Distribution will need to incur short term 
borrowings of up to $315 million from sources external to 
Distribution.  This borrowing requirement arises in connection 
with Distribution's construction program, the financing of 
purchased gas costs and accounts receivable, the financing of gas 
supplies to be placed in storage, the payment of pipeline demand 
charges, the maturity or refunding of medium-term and/or long term 
notes and debentures, and other general corporate purposes.

         Supply

         It is anticipated that, from time to time during 1996 
through 2000, Supply will need to incur short-term borrowings of 
up to $175 million from sources external to Supply.  This 
borrowing requirement arises in connection with Supply's proposed 
construction program, working capital requirements in connection 
with the provision of natural gas storage and transportation 
services, the financing of accounts receivable, the maturity or 
refunding of medium-term and/or long term notes and debentures, 
and other general corporate purposes.

         Seneca

         It is anticipated that, from time to time during 1996 
through 2000, Seneca will need to incur short-term borrowings of 
up to $200 million from sources external to Seneca.  This 
borrowing requirement arises from Seneca's oil and gas exploration 
program, including lease acquisition, geological and geophysical 
programs, well construction and completion, the construction or 
acquisition of production and transportation facilities, the 
maturity or refunding of medium-term and/or long term notes and 
debentures, and other general corporate purposes.

         UCI

         UCI ceased active operations on May 15, 1995 and sold its 
operating assets on May 23, 1995.  It is anticipated that UCI will 
wind up its business and be dissolved.  There are, however, 
outstanding legal and operating issues which need to be addressed.  
Accordingly, it is anticipated that, from time to time during 1996 

PAGE 4 OF 16

through 2000, UCI will need to incur short-term borrowings of up 
to $3 million from sources external to UCI.  

         Highland

         It is anticipated that, from time to time during 1996 
through 2000, Highland will need to incur short-term borrowings of 
up to $5 million from sources external to Highland.  This 
borrowing requirement will enable Highland to have an available 
source of capital to replace existing equipment or acquire 
additional equipment.  Also, this capital could be used to 
increase internal inventory levels (i.e., stockpile logs or 
timber), to finance its own accounts receivable resulting from 
possible increased volumes of business, and the differences in the 
timing between the payments made to subcontractors and the 
payments received from customers, and for other general corporate 
purposes.

         Leidy

         It is anticipated that, from time to time during 1996 
through 2000, Leidy will need to incur short-term borrowings of up 
to $5 million from sources external to Leidy.  This borrowing 
requirement will arise in connection with Leidy's natural gas 
market area hub activities including Leidy's participation in 
Ellisburg-Leidy Northeast Hub Company, Enerchange, L.L.C. and 
QuickTrade, L.L.C. and for other general corporate purposes.

         Data-Track

         It is anticipated that, from time to time during 1996 
through 2000, Data-Track will need to incur short-term borrowings 
of up to $1 million from sources external to Data-Track.  This 
borrowing requirement will arise from the acquisition of and/or 
operating expenses of computerized telephone equipment to be 
utilized in Data-Track's collection efforts undertaken on behalf 
of System companies, and for other general corporate purposes.

         NFR

         It is anticipated that, from time to time during 1996 
through 2000, NFR will need to incur short-term borrowings of up 
to $25 million from sources external to NFR.  This borrowing 
requirement will arise in connection with the acquisition and 
marketing/brokering of natural gas and electricity (if and when 
NFR's electric brokering/marketing U-1 (File No. 70-8651) is 
approved), the development of gathering, production and storage 
facilities related to its gas marketing efforts, development of 
independent power projects (upon approval of the Commission, if 
necessary) and for other general corporate purposes.

PAGE 5 OF 16

         Horizon

         It is anticipated that, from time to time, during 1996 
through 2000, Horizon will need to incur short-term borrowings of 
up to $75 million from sources external to Horizon.  This 
borrowing requirement will arise from Project Activities 
undertaken by Horizon under authority granted by the Commission in 
File No. 70-8649; HCAR 35-26364, August 29, 1995.  Project 
Activities include development activities concerning investments 
in, and financing the acquisition of, one or more companies 
("Intermediate Companies') engaged directly or indirectly and 
exclusively in the business of holding the securities of one or 
more exempt wholesale generators, ("EWGs"), and foreign utility 
companies ("FUCOs").  Project Activities also include consulting 
services and development activities throughout the United States 
regarding qualifying cogeneration and small power production 
facilities as defined in the Public Utility Regulatory Policies 
Act of 1978, and independent power production facilities.

         Neither National nor any of its subsidiaries currently 
has an ownership interest in an EWG or a FUCO as defined in 
Sections 32 and 33 of the Act.  None of the proceeds from the sale 
of commercial paper and/or short-term notes by National or any of 
its subsidiaries will be used for the acquisition of an interest 
in an EWG or a FUCO with the exception of the following (i) 
Project Activities of National and Horizon described in File No. 
70-8649 and authorized in HCAR 35-26364 (August 29, 1995) and (ii) 
investment by NFR or a subsidiary of NFR (if and when formed) of 
up to $25 million in all or a portion of an EWG(s) or FUCO(s).


MONEY POOL ARRANGEMENT

         At certain times during the year, National and certain of 
its subsidiaries generate surplus funds.  Previously, the 
Commission has authorized short-term loans of such surplus funds 
between subsidiaries participating in the money-pool arrangement 
(File No. 70-6927:  HCAR No. 23193 December 30, 1983, HCAR No. 
23598, February 12, 1985; File No. 70-7177:  HCAR No. 23958, 
December 20, 1985, HCAR No. 24435, August 3, 1987; File 
No. 70-7438:  HCAR No. 24551, December 29, 1987, HCAR No. 24551A, 
January 7, 1988, HCAR No. 24785, December 20, 1988; File No. 
70-7691:  HCAR No. 25013, December 27, 1989, HCAR No. 25265, March 
5, 1991; File No. 70-7894 HCAR No. 25439, December 23, 1991; File 
No. 70-8297:  HCAR No. 25964, December 29, 1993).  National 
proposes that such intra-system borrowing arrangements be 
authorized to continue in the form of a money pool arrangement.  
During the years 1996 through 2000, it is anticipated that 
National and/or its subsidiaries will have, on an aggregate basis, 
as much as $30 million in surplus funds at any particular point
in time which could be made available to other subsidiaries 
through the money pool.  Each 

PAGE 6 OF 16

subsidiary may contribute excess funds to the money pool from time 
to time.

         National will administer the money pool and coordinate 
the System's short-term borrowings.  Borrowings outside the 
System, when necessary, will be made by National through the 
issuance and sale of commercial paper and/or borrowings from banks 
or other financial institutions.  Such borrowed amounts will be 
included in the money pool.  Thus, the money pool funds will be 
derived from one or more of the following sources:

         1)   surplus funds of National and/or of its subsidiaries;

         2)   proceeds from National's sale of commercial paper;

         3)   borrowings by National from banks or other financial 
              institutions.

         National proposes to administer the money pool by 
matching up, to the extent possible, the short-term cash surpluses  
and borrowing requirements of itself and its subsidiaries.  
Subsidiary requests for short-term loans would be met first from 
available surplus funds of the other subsidiaries, and then from 
National's corporate funds, to the extent available.  Once these 
sources of funds become insufficient to meet the short-term loan 
requests, borrowings will be made by National through the issuance 
and sale of commercial paper and/or under borrowing facilities 
with banks or other financial institutions.

         Borrowings from the Money Pool

         Pursuant to Rule 52, borrowings from the money pool by 
any of National's subsidiaries except Distribution are exempt 
transactions under the Act.  Distribution hereby seeks approval to 
make borrowings from the money pool up to a maximum principal 
amount of $315 million.  Distribution proposes to repay borrowings 
from the money pool principally by means of funds received as a 
result of providing services to its customers under its tariffs, 
and from the possible sale of debt or equity securities.

         National will not make borrowings from any of the 
subsidiaries through the money pool.  National's borrowings, if 
any, will be directly from commercial paper issuances and/or 
borrowings from banks or other financial institutions.

         Borrowings from the money pool, and repayments thereof, 
will be adequately documented and will be evidenced on the books 
of each participant who is borrowing funds or lending surplus 
funds through the money pool.

PAGE 7 OF 16

         If only internal funds (surplus funds of National and 
certain subsidiaries) make up the funds available in the money 
pool, the interest rate applicable and payable to or by 
subsidiaries for all loans of such internal funds will be the 
rates for high-grade unsecured 30-day commercial paper sold 
through dealers by major corporations as quoted in The Wall Street 
Journal.

         If external funds (funds borrowed by National either 
through commercial paper or loans from banks or other financial 
institutions) make up all of the funds available in the money 
pool, or when both surplus funds from other participating 
subsidiaries and external funds are concurrently borrowed through 
the money pool, the interest rate applicable to all such 
borrowings and payable by borrowing subsidiaries will be equal to 
National's net cost for such external borrowings.

         Interest will be payable by the borrowing subsidiary 
until the principal amount borrowed is fully repaid.

         Commercial Paper/Lines of Credit

         If intra-system sources of funds are insufficient to meet 
short-term loan requests, National proposes to issue and sell from 
time to time during the period from January 1, 1996, through 
December 31, 2000, (i) up to $300 million aggregate principal 
amount at any one time outstanding of its commercial paper 
directly or through one or more dealers or placement agents, 
and/or (ii) short-term unsecured notes to banks or financial 
institutions.  National will make the proceeds from such 
borrowings available to its subsidiaries through the money pool.  

         While National's current commercial paper program and 
current committed line of credit are each $105 million, it may 
decrease its commercial paper program, or increase its commercial 
paper program up to as much as $300 million, at any given point 
over the next five years.  If National were to increase its 
commercial paper program, it would likely increase its current 
committed line of credit by an amount equal to any increase in 
the commercial paper program.  

         The maximum interest rate which National will pay on 
commercial paper shall not exceed 200 basis points over U.S. 
Treasury Securities having comparable terms to maturity in effect 
on the date of issue.

         Credit Facilities with Banks and other
         Financial Institutions

         National proposes to establish credit facilities with 
various banks and/or other financial institutions and to issue and 

PAGE 8 OF 16

sell from time to time during the period from January 1, 1996 
through December 31, 2000, short-term unsecured notes in an 
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $600 million.  These 
proceeds will be made available to National's subsidiaries through 
the money pool.  National's aggregate principal amount of external 
short-term unsecured notes and commercial paper outstanding at any 
one time shall never exceed $600 million.  

         The banks and financial institutions with which National 
currently has credit facilities, and the estimated maximum 
principal amount to be borrowed and outstanding at any one time 
from each of them, are as follows:

                                                 Amount of Line

         The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A.           $125 million

         Fleet Bank of New York, N.A.              $35 million

         Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company   $70 million

         Marine Midland Bank, N.A.                 $70 million

         Chemical Bank                             $50 million

         Premium Funding, Inc.                     $50 million

         PNC Bank, N.A.                            $40 million

         Citicorp Securities, Inc.                 $50 million

         Industrial Bank of Japan, Limited
           New York Branch/Industrial Funding
           Corporation                             $35 million

         Bank of Boston                            $20 million

         Broadway Capital Corporation              $50 million


         A credit facility with any listed bank or financial 
institution may be revised or terminated and other banks or financial 
institutions may be added to the list from time to time.  The 
borrowing arrangements with these banks or financial institutions may 
require compensating balances and/or commitment fees or similar fees.  
National requests authority to incur, if necessary, commitment or 
similar fees not to exceed one-half (1/2) of one percent (1%) of 
average daily credit facility available, and/or compensating balances 
not to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the credit facility 
established.  National, at all times, will attempt to negotiate the 
most favorable effective borrowing rate taking into account any 
compensating balances and/or fees.  

PAGE 9 OF 16

         In addition to the  credit facilities noted above, National 
has obtained a committed credit facility of $105 million which is 
shared among most of the banks listed above and is administered by 
Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., as agent for the various banks.  This 
committed facility acts as a back-up for National's commercial paper 
facilities, and likely will be modified by the same amount as any 
modification in the commercial paper facilities.

         Under each of these credit facilities, each unsecured note 
will be issued by National, will be dated as of the date of issue, 
will mature not later than twelve months from the date thereof.  The 
notes issued and sold will bear interest up to the prime or base rate 
of interest in effect at each individual bank.  

         The maximum interest rate which National will pay on 
short-term notes shall not exceed 200 basis points over U.S. Treasury 
Securities having comparable terms to maturity in effect on the date 
of issue.


         Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Agreements

         In addition to the commercial paper and credit facilities 
discussed above, National has and will continue to enter into 
interest rate and currency exchange agreements ("Swap Agreement(s)") 
with one or more parties ("Counterparty") on or before December 31, 
2000.  The term of each Swap Agreement could range from one month up 
to five years.  The maximum principal amount of outstanding debt that 
would be covered under the Swap Agreements ("Covered Amounts") will 
not exceed $300 million.

         Through the Swap Agreements, National could effectively fix 
the interest rate on a portion of its outstanding short-term debt.  
The fixed interest rate would be negotiated between the parties to 
the Swap Agreement, and would be fixed for a period from one month to 
five years.  The fixed interest rate for the Swap Agreement could 
also be based on a published index such as a LIBOR index or a 
commercial paper based index calculated by the Federal Reserve (H15).

         In no event will National enter into a Swap Agreement for a 
Covered Amount where the effective fixed rate of interest paid by 
National for such Covered Amount, inclusive of any intermediary fee, 
would exceed by more than 2.0% per annum, at the time of entering 
into any such Swap Agreement for a Covered Amount, the yield on 
direct obligations of the U.S. Government (i.e. Treasury Bonds, 
Notes, and Bills) as published by the Federal Reserve with maturities 
comparable to the maturity of such a swap contract.  


PAGE 10 OF 16

         Allocation of Costs

         Costs, in the form of compensating balances and/or 
commitment or other fees, may be incurred to support the credit 
facilities.  The aggregate of the operating balances of National, 
Distribution, Supply, Seneca, UCI, Highland, Leidy, Data-Track, 
Horizon and NFR are expected to cover the required compensating 
balance amounts.

         From time to time, National may be obligated to pay 
arrangement fees and/or legal fees and other expenses in connection 
with Swap Agreements.  National hereby requests authority to allocate 
all such fees and expenses together with the payments made to or 
received from a Counterparty among each of applicant-declarants based 
upon each respective subsidiary's weighted average amount of 
borrowings outstanding during the period when such amounts are paid 
or received.  In no event will National be authorized to allocate the 
costs or expenses for any Swap Agreements with a principal amount in 
excess of $300 million at any one time outstanding, and at no time 
will National be authorized to allocate such costs or expenses among 
the applicants-declarants if such costs and expenses would increase 
the cost of borrowing from the Money Pool by the applicant-declarants 
above the yield on direct U.S. Government Obligations with comparable 
maturities plus 2.0%.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
(Rel. No. 35-             )

National Fuel Gas Company, et al.

Notice of Proposed Intra-System Borrowings Through Money Pool; 
Issuance and Sale of Commercial Paper and Short-Term Unsecured 
Notes; Interest Rate Protection Mechanisms.

November   , 1995

         National Fuel Gas Company ("National"), a registered 
holding company, 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York 14203, 
and its wholly-owned subsidiary companies:  National Fuel Gas 
Distribution Corporation ("Distribution"), National Fuel Gas 
Supply Corporation ("Supply"), Seneca Resources Corporation 
("Seneca"), Highland Land & Minerals, Inc. ("Highland"), Leidy 
Hub, Inc. ("Leidy"), Horizon Energy Development, Inc. 
("Horizon"), Data-Track Account Services, Inc. ("Data-Track"), 
each located at 10 Lafayette Square, Buffalo, New York l4203, 
National Fuel Resources, Inc. ("NFR"), 478 Main Street, Buffalo, 
New York 14202 and  Utility Constructors, Inc. ("UCI"), East 
Erie Extension, Linesville, Pennsylvania 16424 (collectively, 
"Subsidiary Companies"), have filed an application-declaration 
pursuant to Sections 6(a)(1), 7, 9(a), 10(a), 11(b)(1), 12(b) 
and 12(f) of the Act and Rules 23, 24, 42, 43, 45, 49(d) and 52 
thereunder.

         By Orders dated December 30, 1983 (HCAR No. 23193), 
February 12, 1985 (HCAR No. 23598), December 20, 1985 (HCAR No. 
23958), August 3, 1987 (HCAR No. 24435), December 29, 1987 (HCAR 
No. 24551), January 7, 1988 (HCAR No. 24551A), December 20, 1988 
(HCAR No. 24785), December 27, 1989 (HCAR No. 25013), March 5, 
1991 (HCAR No. 25265), December 23, 1991 (HCAR No. 25439), 
December 29, 1993 (HCAR No. 25964), National and its Subsidiary 
Companies, were authorized, in relevant part, to participate in 
the National system money pool ("Money Pool") through December 
31, 1995.  National and its Subsidiary Companies now propose to 
continue to participate in, and incur short-term borrowings 
through the Money Pool, through December 31, 2000.  Total 
outstanding short-term borrowings through the Money Pool by 
Distribution will not exceed a principal amount of $315 million.  
National will not borrow funds from any Subsidiary Company 
through the Money Pool.

                             - 2 -


         In addition, in the event that intra-system sources of 
funds are insufficient to meet short-term loan needs of the 
Subsidiary Companies, National proposes, from time-to-time 
through December 31, 2000, to:  (1) issue and sell, up to $300 
million aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding 
of commercial paper ("Commercial Paper") directly or through 
dealers and placement agents; and/or (2) issue an aggregate 
principal amount of up to $600 million of short-term unsecured 
notes ("Notes") under credit facilities with banks and financial 
institutions.  The aggregate principal amount of such Commercial 
Paper and Notes shall not exceed $600 million outstanding at any 
one time.  The proceeds of such external borrowings by National 
shall be made available to its Subsidiary Companies through the 
Money Pool.  In addition, National proposes that up to $75 
million of its external borrowing be made available for its own 
corporate purposes.

         If only surplus funds make up the funds available in 
the Money Pool the interest rate applicable and payable to or by 
the Subsidiary Companies for all loans of such surplus funds 
will be the rates for high grade unsecured 30-day commercial 
paper sold through dealers by major corporations as quoted in 
The Wall Street Journal. 

         If external funds make up all of the funds available in 
the Money Pool, or when both surplus funds from other 
participating Subsidiary Companies and external funds are 
concurrently borrowed through the Money Pool, the interest rate 
applicable to all such borrowings and payable by borrowing 
Subsidiary Companies will be equal to National's net cost for 
such external borrowings.

         The borrowing arrangements with banks or financial 
institutions may require compensating balances and/or commitment 
fees or similar fees.  National requests authority to incur, if 
necessary, commitment or similar fees not to exceed one-half 
(1/2) of one percent (1%) of average daily credit facilities 
available, and/or compensating balances not to exceed twenty 
percent (20%) of the credit facility established.  National, at 
all times, will attempt to negotiate the most favorable 
effective borrowing rate taking into account any compensating 
balances and/or fees.

         National has, and from time to time through 
December 31, 2000, will continue to enter into an interest rate 
and currency exchange agreements ("Swap Agreement(s)") with one 
or more parties ("Counterparty"), covering a total principal
     PAGE 3 OF 3
                             - 3 -


amount of up to $300 million for terms of one month to five 
years.  In no event will the effective fixed rate of interest 
paid by National inclusive of any fees, exceed by more than 2.0% 
per annum the yield, at the time of entering into any such an 
Agreement, on direct obligations of the U.S. Government with 
maturities comparable to that of the applicable Swap Agreement.  
From time to time, National may be obligated to pay arrangement 
fees and/or legal fees and other expenses in connection with 
these Swap Agreements.  National requests authority to allocate 
all such fees and expenses together with the payments made to a 
Counterparty or received from a Counterparty among National and 
the Subsidiary Companies based upon their weighted average 
amount of borrowings outstanding during the period when such 
amounts are paid or received.

         The application-declaration is available for public 
inspection through the Commission's Office of Public Reference.

to the Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission, 
Washington, D.C. 20549, and serve a copy on the 
applicant-declaration at the address specified above.  Proof of 
service (by affidavit or, in the case of an attorney at law, by

any hearing, if ordered, and will receive a copy of any 
application-declaration, as filed, and as it may be further 
amended, may be granted and permitted to become effective.

     The following Proforma financial statements of National Fuel Gas Company
(National) and subsidiaries reflect the impact of the maximum borrowings
requested and associated interest expense and income tax effects.  The
incremental amount of external short-term borrowing of $486.9 million
(Maximum $600 million requested less $113.1 million outstanding at August 31,
1995) was allocated to National and each of its subsidiaries.  This allocation
was based upon each company's maximum short-term borrowing request (in excess
of its outstanding borrowing at August 31, 1995) as a percent of the aggregated
total.
