Columbia states that this filing is

being submitted pursuant to Article III,

Section C, Collections under Section 46

of the General Terms and Conditions of

Columbia’s Tariff SFC Provision of the

Stipulation and Agreement in Docket

No. RP95–408, et al., approved by the

Commission on April 17, 1997 (79 FERC

¶ 61,044 (1997)). In accordance with this

provision, Columbia was permitted to

collect $22.4 million via the SFC rate.

As of September 30, 1997, Columbia has

By this filing, Columbia states that it is

proposing to terminate the SFC rate

effective October 1, 1997. In addition,

Columbia will refund to customers via

a billing credit approximately $0.5

million of collections in the month of

September 1997 over the $22.4 million

cap. The total excess collections will be

allocated to customers based on total

collections during the month of

September 1997.

Columbia requests a waiver of Section

154.207 of the Commission’s regulations

in order to permit Columbia to remove

the SFC Rate effective October 1, 1997.

Granting this waiver allows Columbia’s

customers to avoid any additional overrecoveries of SFC revenues.

Columbia states further that copies of

this filing have been mailed to all of its

customers, affected state regulatory

commissions, and all parties on the

official service in this proceeding.

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC

Gas Tariff

October 3, 1997.

Take notice that on September 30,

1997, Eastern Shore Natural Gas

Company (ESNG) tendered for filing as

part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised

Volume No. 1, certain revised tariff

sheets in the above captioned docket,

with a proposed effective date of

October 1, 1997.

ESNG states the revised tariff sheets

are being filed pursuant to Section 21 of

the General Terms and Conditions of

ESNG’s Gas Tariff to reflect changes in

ESNG’s jurisdictional sales rates. The

sales rates set forth on the revised tariff

sheets reflect an increase of $0.9928 per

dt in the Commodity Charge, as

measured against ESNG’s corresponding

sales rates in Docket No. TQ97–6–23–

000 as filed on June 27, 1997, to be

effective August 1, 1997.

The commodity current purchased gas

cost adjustment reflects ESNG’s

projected cost of gas for the month of

October, 1997, and has been calculated

using its best estimate of available gas

supplies to meet ESNG’s anticipated

purchase requirements. The increased

gas costs in this filing are a result of

higher prices being paid to producersmarketers under ESNG’s marketresponsive gas supply contracts.

ESNG states that copies of the filing

have been served upon its jurisdictional

customers and interested State

Commissions.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

the proceeding.

Any person wishing to become a party

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the
