[Federal Register Volume 62, Number 19 (Wednesday, January 29, 1997)] [Notices] [Page 4277] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 97-2119] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY [Docket No. RP97-231-000] Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in FERC Gas Tariff January 23, 1997. Take notice that on January 17, 1997, Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company (Eastern Shore) tendered for filing a completely new and revised FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, reflecting restructured services, rates, and general terms and conditions, proposed to become effective on May 1, 1997 or the effective date of Eastern Shore's Part 284 blanket certificate, whichever is later. Eastern Shore states that pursuant to Section 4 of the Natural Gas Act, and Sections 154.7, 154.301, et seq. of the Regulations of the Commission, Eastern Shore is also filing revisions to certain statements and schedules which were initially filed in Docket No. RP97- 32-000, Eastern Shore's Section 4 general rate increase filing, in which it filed as a closed merchant pipeline. Such statements and schedules have been revised to reflect Eastern Shore's proposed status as an open access transportation pipeline. Eastern Shore states that it requests that the Commission permit the rates and charges proposed for all of the jurisdictional services to be provided by Eastern Shore to become effective as conditional rates and charges that may be subject to subsequent adjustment by Commission order after the rates and charges proposed in the instant filing are permitted to become effective. Eastern Shore further requests that the Commission, in its order on the instant filing, expressly give notice that the conditional rates and charges which are permitted to become effective may be subsequently adjusted by Commission order retroactive to the date on which such rates and charges are permitted to become effective. Eastern Shore states that the purpose of this conditional rate determination is to give notice to all that the provisional rates and charges may be subject to retroactive adjustment at a later date. Eastern Shore states that copies of the filing have been served upon the parties listed on the Commission's official service list in Docket Nos. RP97-32-000 and CP96-128-000. 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 Practices and Procedure (18 CFR Section 385.211 and Section 385.214). All such motions or protests must be filed on or about February 7, 1997. 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.
