Commission

[Docket No. CP01–65–000]

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Application

January 16, 2001.

Take notice that on January 11, 2001,

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company

(Eastern Shore), Post Office Box 1769,

Dover, Delaware 19903–1769, filed in

Docket No. CP01–59–000 an application

pursuant to Section 7(c) of the Natural

Gas Act for authorization to construct

and operate additional pipeline and

compression facilities in Maryland and

Pennsylvania to expand its system by

providing added transportation

capacity, all as more fully set forth in

the application on file with the

Commission and open to public

inspection. This filing may be viewed

on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/

online/htm (call 202–208–2222 for

assistance).

Eastern Shore proposes to construct

and operate 6 miles of 16-inch pipeline

looping on its existing system in

Maryland and Pennsylvania to install

3,330 horsepower of additional capacity

at the existing Daleville Compressor

Station on Eastern Shore’s system in

Chester County, Pennsylvania, and to

install delivery point facilities in

Chester County, Pennsylvania. It is

stated that the proposed construction

would enable Eastern Shore to provide

19,800 dt equivalent of additional daily

firm service capacity on its system.

Eastern Shore estimates the total cost of

the proposed facilities at $12,478,745. It

is requested that a certificate be issued

allowing construction to be completed

by November 1, 2001.

Eastern Shore asserts that the facilities

would provide system-wide benefits

without requiring a rate increase for

existing customers. Therefore, Eastern

Shore requests a determination that the

cost of the project be given rolled-in rate

treatment. Eastern Shore convened an

open season for the additional capacity

and secured 10-year firm contracts with

PECO Energy Company, Connectiv

Power Delivery, and Delaware Division

of Chesapeake Utilities Corporation for

the additional capacity.

Any questions regarding the

application should be directed to

Stephen C. Thompson, President,

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company,

417 Bank Lane, Dover, Delaware 19904,

(302) 734–6710.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before

February 6, 2001, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission,

Washington, DC 20426, a motion to

intervene or a protest in accordance

with the requirements of the

Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 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. Comments and protests may be

filed electronically in lieu of paper. See

18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the

instructions on the Commission’s

website at http://ferc.fed.us/efi/

doorbell.htm.

A person obtaining intervenor status

will be placed on the service list

maintained by the Secretary of the

Commission and will receive copies of

all documents filed by the applicant and

by every one of the intervenors. An

intervenor can file for rehearing of any

Commission order and can petition for

court review of any such order.

However, an intervenor must submit

copies of comments or any other filing

it makes with the Commission to every

other intervenor in the proceeding, as

well as 14 copies with the Commission.

A person does not have to intervene,

however, in order to have comments

considered. A person, instead, may

submit two copies of comments to the

Secretary of the Commission.

Commenters will be placed on the

Commission’s environmental mailing

list, will receive copies of

environmental documents and will be

able to participate in meetings

associated with the Commission’s

environmental review process.

Commenters will not be required to

serve copies of filed documents on all

other parties. However, commenters

will not receive copies of all documents

filed by other parties or issued by the

Commission and will not have the right

to seek rehearing or appeal the

Commission’s final order to a federal

court.

The Commission will consider all

comments and concerns equally,

whether filed by commenters or those

requesting intervenor status.

Take further notice that, pursuant to

the authority contained in and subject to

the jurisdiction conferred upon the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

by Sections 7 and 15 of the Natural Gas

Act and the Commission’s Rules of

Practice and Procedure, 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 requested at the hearing.

David P. Boergers,

Secretary.
