  We use a sample of $78,340$ star-forming galaxies at $z\simeq 0.04-0.1$ from
the SDSS DR8 survey to calculate the average nebular dust attenuation curve and
its variation with the physical properties of galaxies. Using the first four
low-order Balmer emission lines (H$\alpha$, H$\beta$, H$\gamma$, H$\delta$)
detected in the composite spectrum of all galaxies in the sample, we derive a
nebular attenuation curve in the range of $0.41\,\mu$m to $0.66\,\mu$m that has
a similar shape and normalization to that of the Galactic extinction curve
(Milky Way curve), the SMC curve and the nebular attenuation curve derived
recently for typical star-forming galaxies at $z\sim2$. We divide the galaxies
into bins of stellar mass, gas-phase metallicity, and specific star-formation
rate, and derive the nebular attenuation curve in each of these bins. This
analysis indicates that there is very little variation in the shape of the
nebular dust attenuation curve with the properties used to bin the galaxies,
and suggests a near universal shape of the nebular dust attenuation curve at
least among the galaxies and the range of properties considered in our sample.
