Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Request Under Blanket

Authorization

June 9, 1998.

Take notice that on May 27, 1998,

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company

(Eastern Shore), Post Office Box 1769,

Dover, Delaware 19903–1769, filed a

request with the Commission in Docket

No. CP98–570–000, pursuant to

Sections 157–205, and 157.212 of the

Commission’s Regulations under the

Natural Gas Act (NGA) for authorization

to add one new delivery point for

Delaware Division of Chesapeake

Utilities Corporation (Delaware

Division), an existing customer

authorized in blanket certificate issued

in Docket No. CP83–40–000, all as more

fully set forth in the request on file with

the Commission and open to public

inspection.

Eastern Shore proposes to construct

and operate one delivery point and

associated facilities near Greenspring

Road (County Road 47) in Smyrna, New

Castle County, Delaware to serve

Delaware Division.

Eastern Shore states that the delivery

of gas through the new tap would be

within the customer’s existing

entitlement, that there would be no

adverse impact on Eastern Shore’s other

customers’ peak and annual deliveries,

and that no additional facilities would

be required to serve the new delivery

point other than a meter and regulating

station and service lateral. The

estimated cost of the proposed new

delivery point would be $75,000.00

which would be paid for by Delaware

Division.

Any person or the Commission’s staff

may, within 45 days after the

Commission has issued this notice, file

pursuant to Rule 214 of the

Commission’s Procedural Rules (18 CFR

385.214) a motion to intervene or notice

of intervention and pursuant to Section

157.205 of the Regulations under the

NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the

request. If no protest is filed within the

allowed time, the proposed activity

shall be deemed to be authorized

effective the day after the time allowed

for filing a protest. If a protest is filed

and not withdrawn within 30 days after

the time allowed for filing a protest, the

instant request shall be treated as an
