Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

May 6, 1996.
    Take notice that on May 1, 1996 Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company 
(ESNG) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First 
Revised Volume No. 1, certain substitute revised tariff sheets in the 
above captioned docket, with a proposed effective date of February 1, 
1996.
    ESNG states that the revised tariff sheets included herein are 
being filed pursuant to Section 24 of the General Terms and Conditions 
of the ESNG's Gas Tariff to reflect changes in ESNG's jurisdictional 
storage rates. ESNG states that the instant filing is being made to 
``track'' changes in Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation's (Columbia) 
storage service rates. Upon the recent close of ESNG's February, 1996 
monthly accounting cycle it became apparent that ESNG had inadvertently 
failed to track the proper storage service rates from Columbia for 
February, 1996. The substitute tariff sheets included herein are being 
filed to correct this error.
    As background to the instant filing, on August 1, 1995 Columbia 
filed a Section 4 general rate case in Docket No. RP95-408-000, et al. 
Columbia filed to have rates effective September 1, 1995, but the 
Commission, by letter order dated August 31, 1995, suspended rates for 
five months making the effective date February 1, 1996. Columbia 
subsequently filed, on December 29, 1995, tariff sheets to ``track'' 
when it filed its scheduled quarterly PGA and storage tracker filing on 
January 3, 1996.
    Furthermore, ESNG states it has not billed its storage customers 
and will not until it receives the Commission's authorization as 
requested herein.
    ESNG states that copies of the filing have been served upon its 
jurisdictional 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, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Rule 211 and Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR Section 385.211 and Section 385.214). 
All such motions or 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. 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.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
