[Docket No. CP96–97–000]

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Application

December 8, 1995.

Take notice that on December 5, 1995,

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company

(Eastern Shore), Post Office Box 615,

Dover, Delaware 19903–0615, filed an

application pursuant to Sections 7(b)

and (c) of the Natural Gas Act for a

certificate of public convenience and

necessity authorizing Eastern Shore to

(1) provide additional firm contract

demand sales and storage service to

several of its existing customers, (2)

abandon firm sales service to one of its

existing customers, and (3) construct

and operate certain new pipeline and

compressor facilities required to

stabilize capacity on its system and to

provide the additional firm sales and

storage service, all as more fully set

forth in the application which is on file

with the Commission and open to

public inspection.

Specifically, Eastern Shore requests

authority to (1) construct and operate a

2,170 HP compressor station in

Delaware City, new Castle County,

Delaware on its portion of its existing

pipeline system known as the

‘‘Hockessin Line’’, such new station to

be know as the ‘‘Delaware City

Compressor Station’’; (2) construct and

operate .89 miles of 16-inch pipeline in

Delaware City, New Castle County,

Delaware to tie the suction side of the

proposed Delaware City Compressor

Station into the Hockessin Line: and (3)

increase the maximum allowable

operating pressure (MAOP) from 500

PSIG to 590 PSIG on 28.7 miles of

Eastern Shore’s pipeline from Eastern

Shore’s existing Bridgeville Compressor

Station in Bridgeville, Sussex County,

Delaware to its terminus in Salisbury,

Wicomico County, Maryland.

Eastern Shore states that the proposed

compressor facility and associated

piping are needed to stabilize capacity

on its system as a result of steadily

declining inlet pressures at its

Hockessin interconnect with

Transcontinental Gas Pipeline

Corporation. Construction of the

proposed facilities is planned to be

undertaken during the 1996 Summer

and Fall seasons and completed by a

proposed in service date of November 1,

1996.

Eastern Shore further states that the

proposed facilities will also enable it to

provide additional firm sales and

storage service to several of its

customers who have executed precedent

agreements for the additional firm

service for terms of 10 and 20 years.

Eastern Shore also requests

authorization to abandon 100 Mcf per

day of firm sales service to one of its

direct sales customers, Playtex Apparel,

Inc., effective September 30, 1996.

Eastern Shore estimates the total cost

of the additional pipeline and

compressor facilities proposed in its

application to be $6,788,334. Eastern

Shore states that it will finance this

amount initially from internally

generated funds and short-term notes

and that permanent financing will be

arranged after construction has been

completed.

Any person desiring to be heard or to

make any protest with reference to said

application should on or before

December 29, 1995, file with the Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission,

Washington, D.C. 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 be 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 of

Practice and Procedures, 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.

Acting Secretary.

I. Introduction

Statutory Framework

The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic

Act (FFDCA) (21 U.S.C. 136 et seq.)

authorizes the establishment of

tolerances and exemptions from

tolerances for the residues of pesticides

in or on raw agricultural commodities

(RACs), and section 409 of the Act

authorizes promulgation of food

additive regulations for pesticide

residues in processed foods.

Under section 408 of the FFDCA, EPA

establishes tolerances, or exemptions

from tolerances when appropriate, for

pesticide residues in raw agricultural

commodities. Food/feed additive

regulations (FARs) setting maximum

permissible levels of pesticide residues

in processed foods are established under

section 409. Section 409 FARs are

required, however, only for certain

pesticide residues in processed food.

Under section 402(a)(2) of the FFDCA,

no section 409 food additive regulation

is required if any pesticide residue in a

processed food resulting from use on an

RAC has been removed to the extent

possible by good manufacturing

practices and is below the tolerance for

that pesticide in or on that RAC. This

exemption in section 402(a)(2) is

commonly referred to as the ‘‘flowthrough’’ provision because it allows the

section 408 raw food tolerance to flow

through to processed food. Thus, a

section 409 food additive regulation is

only necessary to prevent foods from

being deemed adulterated when despite

the use of good manufacturing practices

the concentration of the pesticide

residue in a processed food is greater

than the tolerance prescribed for the raw

agricultural commodity, or if the

processed food itself is treated or comes

in contact with a pesticide. Monitoring

and enforcement are carried out by the

Federal Food and Drug Administration

(FDA) and the U.S. Department of

Agriculture (USDA).

The establishment of a food additive

regulation under section 409 requires a

finding that use of the pesticide will be

‘‘safe’’ (21 U.S.C. 348(C)(3)). Section 409

also contains the Delaney clause, which

specifically provides that, with limited
