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

November 5, 1996.
    Take notice that on October 30, 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 a proposed effective date of November 1, 1996.
    ESNG states that the revised tariff sheets included herein are 
being filed pursuant to Section 21 of the General Terms and Conditions 
of ESNG's Gas Tariff to reflect changes in ESNG's jurisdictional rates. 
The sales rates set forth herein reflect an increase of $0.2955 per dt 
in the Commodity Charge, as measured against ESNG's Annual PGA filing, 
Docket No. TA97-1-23-000, et al., filed on August 30, 1996 to be 
effective on November 1, 1996.
    ESNG states that the commodity current purchased gas cost 
adjustment reflects ESNG's projected cost of gas for the months of 
November 1996 through January 1997, 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 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
