[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 238 (Tuesday, December 10, 1996)] [Notices] [Page 65035] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-31295] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Docket No. TQ97-2-23-000] Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff December 4, 1996. Take notice that on November 25, 1996 Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company (ESNG) tendered for filing certain revised tariff sheets in the above captioned docket as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised Volume No. 1, with a proposed effective date of December 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 $1.0491 per dt in the Commodity Charge, as measured against ESNG's Out-Of-Cycle Quarterly PGA filing, Docket No. TQ97-1-23-000, et. al., filed on October 30, 1996 to be effective on November 1, 1996. The commodity current purchased gas cost adjustment reflects ESNG's projected cost of gas for the months of December 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 Sections 385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. All such motions or protests must be filed in accordance with 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. [FR Doc. 96-31295 Filed 12-9-96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-M
