Terms and Conditions of Black Marlin’s

tariff to reflect an increase of the ACA

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Application

September 12, 1997.

Take notice that on September 8,

1997, pursuant to Section 7(c) and

Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act

(NGA), Eastern Shore Natural Gas

Company (Eastern Shore), P.O. Box

1769, Dover, Delaware 19903–1769,

filed an application for a certificate of

public convenience and necessity

authorizing: (1) the construction and

operation of 2.3 miles of 10-inch

pipeline, (2) the abandonment of 2.3

miles of existing 6-inch pipeline, (3) the

construction and operation of .2 miles of

16-inch pipeline, and (4) the

abandonment of .2 miles of existing 10-

inch pipeline, all in connection with a

highway realignment project required

by the State of Delaware Department of

Transportation (DelDot), all as more

fully set forth in the application which

is on file with the Commission and open

to public inspection.

Eastern Shore states that the proposed

pipeline segments, to be located in New

Castle County, Delaware, would replace

existing pipeline that must be relocated

due to DelDOT highway construction.

Eastern Shore notes that the

construction of the proposed facilities is

planned to be started between Winter

1997 and Spring 1998. Eastern Shore

estimates that the incremental

additional cost of upsizing the pipeline

segment will be $177,668 and estimates

the total project cost to be $903,851.

Eastern Shore contends that it will

finance this amount initially from

internally generated funds and shortterm notes and that permanent

financing will be arranged after

construction has been completed.

Eastern Shore requests a preliminary

determination that the total cost of these

facilities be rolled in to its total system

costs for rate purposes.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before October

3, 1997, file with the Federal Energy

Regulatory Commission, 888 First St.,

N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, a motion
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 181 / Thursday, September 18, 1997 / Notices 49001

Procedure (18 CFR 385.211) and the

Regulations under the Natural Gas Act

(18 CFR 157.10). All protests filed with

the Commission will be considered by

it in determining the appropriate action

to be taken but will not serve to make

the protestants parties to the

proceeding. Any person wishing to

become a party to a proceeding or to

participate as a party in any hearing

therein must file a motion to intervene

in accordance with the Commission’s

Rules.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission by

Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas Act

and the Commission’s Rules and

Regulations, a hearing will be held

without further notice before the

Commission or its designee on this

application if no motion to intervene is

filed within the time required herein, if

the Commission on its own review of

the matter finds that a grant of the

certificate is required by the public

convenience and necessity. If a motion

for leave to intervene is timely filed, or

if the Commission on its own motion

believes that a formal hearing is

required, further notice of such hearing

will be duly given.

Under the procedure herein provided

for, unless otherwise advised, it will be

unnecessary for Eastern Shore to appear

or be represented at the hearing.
