Subject: Retainage Adjustment Notification Pursuant to Section 3 of Empire Pipeline, Inc.’s FSNN and ISS Rate Schedules
Notice Text
On February 21, 2025, National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (NFGSC) filed its 2025 Annual
Retainage Adjustment Filing under GT&C § 41. Pursuant to § 3.4(b) of Empire's FSNN Rate
Schedule and § 3.6(b) of Empire's ISS Rate Schedule, Empire must provide notice of any proposed
change filed by NFGSC that Empire is authorized to track under its rate schedule, including the
expected effect on Empire's retainages, within three (3) business days of Empire's receipt of such
filing by NFGSC.

In its filing, NFGSC proposed adjustments, including an increase in its Transportation Fuel and
Company Use Retention (TFUR) from 0.78% to 0.91%, and an increase in its Transportation LAUF
Retention (TLAUFR) from 0.31% to 0.59%. In addition, NFGSC proposed Storage Operating and
LAUF Retention (SOLR) to remain the same at 0.84%. Upon FERC's acceptance of these changes,
the retainage applicable to Empire's FSNN and ISS customers will be adjusted accordingly.
Empire's Storage Injection Operating and LAUF Retention will increase from 1.93% to 2.34%.
Empire's Storage Withdrawal Operating and LAUF Retention will remain the same at 0.84%.
