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

June 6, 2001.
    Take notice that on May 31, 2001 Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company 
(Eastern Shore) tendered for filing its annual Fuel Retention 
Adjustment filing pursunat to Section 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 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 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 .38%, an increase of .28% 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, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections

motions or protests must be filed in accordance with Sections 154.210 
of the Commission's Regulations. Protests will be considered by the 
Commission in determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will
