Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Proposed Changes In FERC GAS 
Tariff

June 3, 1999.
    Take notice that on May 28, 1999, Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company 
(Eastern Shore) tenderd for filing its annual Fuel Retention Adjustment 
filing pursuant to Section 31 of the General Terms and Conditions of 
its FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1.
    Eastern Shore states that Section 31, ``Fuel Retention 
Adjustment'', specifies that, no less than thirty (30) days prior 
notice, Eastern Shore shall file with the Commission revised tariff 
sheets containing a re-determined Fuel Retention Percentage (``FRP'') 
for affected transportation rate schedules to be effective July 1 of 
each year. Such FRP is designed to reimburse Eastern Shore for the cost 
of its Gas Required for Operations (``GRO'') which consists of (a) gas 
used for compressor fuel and (b) gas otherwise used, lost or 
unaccounted for, in its operations. Eastern Shore's FRP is calculated 
by determining the GRO quantities attributable to system-wide 
operations for the affected transportation rate schedules using the 
last twelve (12) month period for which actual data is available and 
then dividing such quantity by the corresponding twelve (12) month 
period.
    Eastern Shore states that as shown in its filing, Eastern Shore's 
calculated FRP is .3% which is no change from the current FRP in 
effect. As there is no change in its FRP Eastern Shore has requested 
that the current tariff sheets remain in effect.
    Eastern Shore states that copies of its filing has been mailed to 
all firm and interruptible customers and interested states commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should 
file a motion to intervene or a protest with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE, Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with section 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's Rules 
and Regulations. 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 proceedings. 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 in the Public 
Reference Room. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://
