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

December 31, 1996.
    Take notice that on December 27, 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 January 1, 1997.
    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 $0.6852 per dt 
in the Commodity Charge, as measured against ESNG's Out-Of-Cycle 
Quarterly PGA filing, Docket No. TQ97-2-23-000, et al., filed on 
November 26, 1996 to be effective on December 1, 1996.
    The commodity current purchased gas cost adjustment reflects ESNG's 
projected cost of gas for the month of 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 385.211 and 18 CFR 385.214). 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.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
