[Docket No. CP00-378-000]


Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request Under 
Blanket Authorization

June 14, 2000.
    Take notice that on June 6, 2000, as supplemented on June 13, 2000, 
Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company (Eastern Shore), P.O. Box 1769, 
Dover, Delaware 19903-1769, filed in Docket No. CP00-378-000 a request 
pursuant to Sections 157.205 and 157.211 of the Commission's 
Regulations (18 CFR 157.205 and 157.211) under the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA) for authorization to construct and operate a tap and meter 
station in Kent County, Delaware to provide interruptible service to 
First State Power Management, Inc. (First State), an end user, under 
Eastern Shore's blanket certificate issued in Docket No. CP83-40-000, 
pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA, all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. This filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.fed.us/online/htm (call 202-208-2222 for assistance).
    Eastern Shore indicates that, in addition to the tap and meter 
station, it will construct a delivery lateral 2,425 feet of 8-inch 
pipeline to deliver the gas to First State, which it will construct 
under Section157.208(a) of the Commission's Regulations as an eligible 
facility. Eastern Shore states that it will use these facilities to 
deliver up to 800,000 dt per year on an interruptible basis pursuant to 
the terms of Eastern Shore's IT rate schedule.
    Eastern Shore estimates the cost of the tap and meter station at 
$95,000, and the cost of the pipeline lateral at $195,000, all of which 
it will be reimbursed by First State. It is asserted that Eastern 
Shore's tariff does not prohibit the addition of delivery point 
facilities.
    Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 45 days after 
issuance of the instant notice by the Commission file pursuant to Rule 
214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to 
intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to Section 157.205 of 
the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) a protest to the 
request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefor, the 
proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day 
after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and 
not withdrawn within 30 days after the time allowed for filing a 
protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for 
authorization pursuant to Section 7 of the NGA.

Linwood A. Watson, Jr.,
Acting Secretary.
