Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 12 to Schedule 13D on the Common Stock of National Fuel Gas Company (the "Issuer") is being filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D, as amended (the "Schedule 13D"), which was originally filed on August 11, 2010. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as follows:

This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mario Gabelli") and various entities which he

directly or indirectly controls or for which he acts as chief investment officer. These entities, except for LICT Corporation ("LICT), CIBL, Inc. ("CIBL") and ICTC Group, Inc. ("ICTC"), engage in various aspects of the securities business, primarily as investment adviser to various institutional and individual clients, including registered investment companies and pension plans, and as general partner or the equivalent of various private investment partnerships or private funds. Certain of these entities may also make investments for their own accounts.

The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own beneficially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a particular issuer. Although several of the foregoing persons are treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting their beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings of those who do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed the 1% threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13G or implementation of their investment philosophy may from time to time require action which could be viewed as not completely passive. In order to avoid any question as to whether their beneficial ownership is being reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these persons have decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more detailed Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form Schedule 13G and thereby to provide more expansive disclosure than may be necessary.

For information required by instruction C to Schedule 13D with respect to the executive officers and directors of the foregoing entities and other related persons (collectively, "Covered Persons"), reference is made to Schedule I annexed hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

(d) – Not applicable.

(e) – Not applicable.

(f) – Reference is made to Schedule I hereto.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as follows:

GAMCO is submitting a proposal to be voted on by the Issuer's stockholders requesting that the Issuer's Board of Directors examine and take active steps to participate in the rapidly consolidating natural gas local distribution ("LDC") sector.

As an example, St. Louis based LDC Spire (formally known as Laclede Group), under the leadership of Suzanne Sitherwood, purchased Missouri Gas (9/1/2013), Alabama Gas (8/24/2014) and Energy South (9/12/2016) and, in large part reflecting these acquisitions, Spire's share price has increased from $43 in September 2013 to $75 in September 2017. Canadian utilities have been active consolidators including, Algonquin Power & Utilities Corporation, which recently agreed to buy St. Lawrence Gas Company, Emera Inc., which purchased TECO Energy (owner of Peoples Gas and New Mexico Gas), and AltaGas, which agreed to buy WGL Holdings. Several electric utilities have also purchased LDC's including Duke Energy – Piedmont Natural Gas (10/3/2016), Southern Company – AGL Resources (7/1/2016) and Dominion Resources – Questar (9/16/2016).

GAMCO believes that NFG, given its 100 plus years knowledge of this industry, should use its LDC as a currency, including such financial engineering alternatives as a tracker stock⁽¹⁾ or other value creating mechanism, while maintaining control of the entity and its use of cash flow.

A copy of the proposal dated September 21, 2017 is attached as Exhibit A.

Appendix

⁽¹⁾ Tracker stocks divide the economics – but not the legal ownership – of distinct businesses between different groups of shareholders. Parent and tracker companies share one Board of Directors, file one consolidated tax return and jointly retain liabilities in the case of liquidation.

Tracker stocks are used to attract shareholders of differing tastes and to highlight underappreciated assets where a spin-off may be sub-optimal because (a) tax assets are shared; (b) assets collateralize debt obligations; (c) flexibility to re-arrange assets is desired; or (d) the requirements of a spin-off cannot be met.

Item 5. Interest In Securities Of The Issuer

Item 5 to Schedule 13D is amended, in pertinent part, as follows:

(a) The aggregate number of Securities to which this Schedule 13D relates is 6,516,782 shares, representing 7.62% of the 85,507,508 shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer's most recently filed Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2017. The Reporting Persons beneficially own those Securities as follows:

Name	Shares of Common Stock	% of Class of Common
GAMCO	3,039,313	3.55%
Gabelli Funds GCIA Foundation Mario Gabelli MJG Associates GGCP MJG-IV GBL AC	3,372,299 6,100 14,000 53,400 3,000 20,000 8,000 70 600	3.94% 0.01% 0.02% 0.07% 0.00% 0.02% 0.01% 0.00% 0.00%

Mario Gabelli is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Securities owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons. GCIA is deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Securities owned beneficially by G.research. AC, GBL and GGCP are deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Securities owned beneficially by each of the foregoing persons other than Mario Gabelli and the Foundation.

(b) Each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons has the sole power to vote or direct the vote and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of the Securities reported for it, either for its own benefit or for the benefit of its investment clients or its partners, as the case may be, except that (i) GAMCO does not have the authority to vote 142,650 of the reported shares, (ii) Gabelli Funds has sole dispositive and voting power with respect to the shares of the Issuer held by the Funds so long as the aggregate voting interest of all joint filers does not exceed 25% of their total voting interest in the Issuer and, in that event, the Proxy Voting Committee of each Fund shall respectively vote that Fund's shares, (iii) at any time, the Proxy Voting Committee of each such Fund may take and exercise in its sole discretion the entire voting power with respect to the shares held by such fund under special circumstances such as regulatory considerations, and (iv) the power of Mario Gabelli, AC, GBL, and GGCP is indirect with respect to Securities beneficially owned directly by other Reporting Persons.

(c) Information with respect to all transactions in the Securities which were effected during the past sixty days or since the most recent filing on Schedule 13D, whichever is less, by each of the Reporting Persons and Covered Persons is set forth on Schedule II annexed hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

(e) Not applicable.
