Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes In 
Ferc Gas Tariff

June 24, 2004.
    Take notice that on June 22, 2004, Eastern Shore Natural Gas 
Company (Eastern Shore) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas 
Tariff, revised tariff sheets to implement cash out surcharge rate of 
$0.0033 per dekatherm, proposed to be effective July 1, 2004, designed 
to recover the under-recovered balance in its cash out accountat March 
31, 2004.
    Eastern Shore states that Section 35, of the General Terms & 
Conditions (GT & C) of its FERC Gas Tariff, newly entitled Cash Out 
Refund/Surcharge, provides that Eastern Shore will refund or surcharge 
for each annual billing period any difference between the revenues 
received and the costs incurred under the cash out provisions of its 
tariff. Eastern Shore also states that the annual billing period 
referenced above shall be the twelve-month period commencing April 1st 
and ending the following March 31st.
    Eastern Shore further states that it, subsequent to the end of each 
such annual billing period, Eastern Shore shall compare the revenues 
received by it under the cash-out procedures to the costs incurred. 
Eastern Shore notes that, if the revenues received exceed the costs 
incurred, then Eastern Shore shall refund, within sixty (60) calendar 
days of the end of the annual billing period, the net over-recoveries 
to firm transportation customers on a pro rata basis in accordance with 
the transportation quantities Eastern Shore has delivered during the 
annual billing period. Eastern Shore also states that, if the revenues 
received are less than the costs incurred, then Eastern Shore shall 
recover the net under recoveries by means of a surcharge applicable to 
each dekatherm delivered to all firm and interruptible transportation 
customers. Eastern Shore notes that such surcharge, to be effective 
July 1 of each year, shall be calculated by dividing the net under 
recovered balance by the total transportation quantities delivered by 
Eastern Shore during the annual billing period.
    Eastern Shore states that copies of its filing have been mailed to 
its customers and interested state commissions.
    Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should
