Item 8.01    Other Events.
 
           On May 6, 2009, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) declared a registration statement filed by the United States Natural Gas Fund, LP (“UNG”) effective which registers 300 million units that are now available for purchase by UNG’s Authorized Purchasers.  UNG previously reported in a current report on Form 8-K filed on May 1, 2009, that it had a limited number of units registered with the SEC that were available for purchase by its Authorized Purchasers, and that a registration statement registering additional units was being reviewed by the SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and the National Futures Association (“NFA”).  This current report on Form 8-K serves to update the May 1, 2009 Form 8-K to indicate that the registration statement was cleared by the SEC, FINRA and NFA and that the additional units are available for purchase by UNG’s Authorized Purchasers.
 
Any forward-looking statements in this current report are based on expectations of UNG management at this time. Whether or not actual results and developments will conform to management’s expectations and predictions, however, is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the special considerations discussed in UNG’s prospectus, general economic, market and business conditions, changes in laws or regulations made by governmental authorities or regulatory bodies, and other world economic and political developments. UNG undertakes no duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
