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

June 2, 2000.
    Take notice that on May 31, 2000, Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company 
(Eastern Shore) tendered 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, with 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 otherwised 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 transportation quantities received by Eastern 
Shore for the corresponding twelve (12) month period.
    Eastern Shore states that as shown in its filing, Eastern Shore's 
calculated FRP is .1%, which is a decrease of .2% from the current FRP 
in effect.
    Eastern Shore states that copies of its filing has been mailed to 
its customers and interested state 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 Sections 385.214 or 385.211 of the Commission's

[[Page 36426]]

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://www.ferc.fed.us/online/htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).

Secretary.
