Item 8.015.03. Other EventsAmendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On December 12, 2007, the New York State Public Service Commission (the "Commission") granted Corning Natural Gas Corporation ("Corning") a 2.5% ($681,000) rate increase effective December 17, 2007. Corning's press release announcing the increase is attached as Exhibit 99.1. In addition, the Commission allowed Corning to retain $250,000 in revenue from gas producers relevant to producer interconnects with the Corning system.

Pursuant to General Instruction B, subsection 2, of Form 8-K, Exhibit 99.1 is not "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, but is instead furnished as required by that section.

The press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to Corning's future operations and, as such, concerns matters that are not historical facts.  These statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such statements.  Reference is made to Cornings filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2006, its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and other periodic filings for a description of the foregoing and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.  Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and Corning undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
