SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Abstract: The information collected

under the requirements of FERC–519

‘‘Disposition of Facilities, Mergers and

Acquisitions of Securities’’ (OMB No.

1902–0082) is used by the Commission

to implement the statutory provisions of

Section 203 of the Federal Power Act

(FPA), 16 U.S.C. Section 203 authorizes

the Commission to grant approval for

transactions in which a public utility

disposes of jurisdictional facilities,

merges such facilities with the facilities

owned by another person, or acquires

the securities of another public utility.

Under the statute, the Commission must

find that the proposed transaction will

be consistent with the public interest.

Section 318 of the FPA exempts certain

persons from the requirements of

Section 203 which would otherwise

concurrently apply under the Public

Utility Holding Company Act of 1935.

The Commission implements these

filing requirements in the Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR

Part 33.

Action: The Commission is requesting

a three-year extension of the current

expiration date, with no changes to the

existing collection of data.

Burden Statement: Public reporting

burden for this collection is estimated

as:

Number of respondents annually

(1)

Number of

responses

per respondent

(2)

Average burden hours per

response

(3)

Total annual

burden hours

(1)×(2)×(3)

30 ....................................................................................................................................................... 1 80 hours ........ 2,400 hours.

Estimated cost burden to respondents:

2,400 hours/2,087 hours per year ×

$102,000 per year = $117,298.

The reporting burden includes the

total time, effort, or financial resources

expended to generate, maintain, retain,

disclose, or provide the information

including: (1) Reviewing instructions;

(2) developing, acquiring, installing, and

utilizing technology and systems for the

purposes of collecting, validating,

verifying, processing, maintaining,

disclosing and providing information;

(3) adjusting the existing ways to

comply with any previously applicable

instructions and requirements; (4)

training personnel to respond to a

collection of information; (5) searching

data sources; (6) completing and

reviewing the collection of information;

and (7) transmitting, or otherwise

disclosing the information.

The estimate of cost for respondents

is based upon salaries for professional

and clerical support, as well as direct

and indirect overhead costs. Direct costs

include all costs directly attributable to

providing this information, such as

administrative costs and the cost for

information technology. Indirect or

overhead costs are costs incurred by an

organization in support of its mission.

These costs apply to activities which

benefit the whole organization rather

than any one particular function or

activity.

Secretary.

Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company;

Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC

Gas Tariff

May 22, 1996.

Take notice that on May 20, 1996

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 proposed

effective date of November 13, 1995.

ESNG states that the purpose of the

instant filing is to supplement ESNG’s

January 19, 1996 Compliance Filing in

Docket No. RP96–118–000 in order to

reflect further revisions in ESNG’s

Purchased Gas Cost Adjustment (PGA)

Clause required by the Commission

order dated February 15, 1996.

On January 19, 1996, ESNG filed

revised PGA tariff sheets (as directed by

Commission order dated December 29,

1995 in Docket No. TQ96–2–23–000) to

remove all references to the PGA

regulations in effect prior to the

issuance of Commission Order No. 582

in ESNG’s currently effective PGA

clause. Upon review of ESNG’s January

19, 1996 filing the Commission found

that ESNG had failed to remove

references to PGA regulations on

Original Sheet Nos. 250 and 253. In

addition the Commission further

required ESNG to incorporate relevant

definitions formerly contained in

previously effective Section 154.302

into its PGA provisions, adjusting the

regulatory references as appropriate.

ESNG states that copies of the filing

have been served upon its jurisdictional

customers and interested State

Commissions.

Any person desiring to protest said

filing should file a protest with the

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission,

888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC

20426, in accordance with Rule 211 of

the Commission’s Rules of Practice and

Procedure (18 CFR Section 325.211). All

such protests must be filed as provided

in Section 154.210 of the Commission’s

Regulations. Protests will be considered

by the Commission in determining the

appropriate action to be taken, but will

not serve to make protestants parties to

the proceeding. Copies of this filing are

on file with the Commission and are

available for public inspection.
