Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC

Gas Tariff

December 6, 1995.

Take notice that on December 1, 1995,

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company

(ESNG) tendered for filing to become

part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised

Volume No. 1, certain revised tariff

sheets in the above captioned

proceeding, with a proposed effective

date of December 1, 1995.

ESNG states that the revised tariff

sheets are being filed pursuant to

Section 21 of the General Terms and

Conditions of ESNG’s FERC Gas Tariff

to reflect changes in ESNG’s

jurisdictional rates. The revised sales

rates reflect an increase of $0.4234 per

dt in the Commodity Charge, as

measured against ESNG’s regularly

scheduled Annual PGA filing, Docket

No. TA96–1–23–000, et seq., filed on

September 1, 1995 and approved by the

Commission on September 26, 1995.

The commodity current purchased gas

cost adjustment reflects ESNG’s

projected cost of gas for the period

December 1, 1995 through January 31,

1996, 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 producers/suppliers under

ESNG’s market-responsive gas supply

contracts.

ESNG respectfully requests waiver of

the Commission’s thirty (30) day notice

requirement so as to permit it to place

the subject rates into effect on December

1, 1995, as proposed. ESNG states that

it is unable to meet the thirty (30) day

notice requirements due to the fact that

the normal purchasing of gas supplies

from producers/marketers is negotiated

five working days before the end of the

month (for the next month’s supply).

The normal time frame to order gas

supply for the next month does not give

ESNG any flexibility in order to make a

filing in time for the ‘‘notice

requirement’’ when gas prices spike

upward (from projected) as they have

for the month of December, 1995

(projected to remain at the same level

for January, 1996). The Commission’s

waiver of the thirty day notice

requirement in the case of this instant

filing would allow for a more accurate

recovery of ESNG’s costs and mitigate

the deferred commodity costs which

would occur in the absence of such

waiver.

ESNG states that copies of the filing

have been served upon it customers and

interested state commissions.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

protest said filing should file a motion

to intervene or protest with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426,

in accordance with Rules 211 and 214

of the Commission’s Rules of Practice

and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211,

385.214). Pursuant to Section 154.1210

of the Commission’s Regulations, all

such motions or protests should be filed

not later than 12 days after the date of

the filing noted above. Protests will be

considered by the Commission 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

must file a motion to intervene. Copies

of this filing are on file with the

Commission and are available for public

inspection.
