Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Fuel Adjustment

June 3, 2003.
    Take notice that on May 30, 2003, 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 otherwise used, lost or 
unaccounted for, in its operations. Eastern Shore states that its 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 .64 %, an increase of .34 % 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 rules 
and regulations. All such motions or protests must be filed in 
accordance with Sec.  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. This filing is available for review at the 
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the 
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``FERRIS'' link.
