Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application

October 28, 2004.
    Take notice that on September 26, 2003, Eastern Shore Natural Gas 
Company, (Eastern Shore), pursuant to section 7(c) of the NGA, as 
amended, and part 157 of the Commission's Regulations an application 
for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct and 
operate a new Measurement and Regulating Station

[[Page 64740]]

(M&R) in Seaford, Delaware, in order to continue providing service to 
an existing Eastern Shore customer, Chesapeake Utilities Corporation--
Delaware Division (Chesapeake), all as more fully set forth in the 
application which is on file with the Commission and open to public 
inspection. This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, 
using the ``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the 
Commission's Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an 
``eSubscription'' link on the Web site that enables subscribers to 
receive e-mail notification when a document is added to a subscribed 
docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online service, please e-mail 
[email protected], or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For 
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
    Eastern Shore proposes to construct and operate the M&R station in 
an area north of Seaford, Delaware, off of Sussex County Road No. 532, 
approximately 200 feet from Eastern Shore's existing pipeline. Eastern 
Shore states that no additional system capacity will be created by the 
construction of the new M&R station. However, if the new station is not 
constructed and operable in a timely manner, Chesapeake may be unable 
to meet its full customer demand for natural gas in the upcoming winter 
heating season in this area. The estimated cost of the project is 
approximately $94,792 and will be paid for in its entirety by the 
customer.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Elaine B. Bittner, Director, Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company, 417 
Bank Lane, Dover, Delaware 19904 at (302) 734-6710, ext. 6016.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before the comment date file with the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to 
intervene in accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules 
of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the 
Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 
status will be placed on the service list maintained by the Secretary 
of the Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the 
applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of 
filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant 
and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the 
proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the 
proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest this filing must 
file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and 385.214). 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 
proceeding. Any person wishing to become a party must file a notice of 
intervention or motion to intervene, as appropriate. Such notices, 
motions, or protests must be filed on or before the comment date. 
Anyone filing a motion to intervene or protest must serve a copy of 
that document on the Applicant. On or before the comment date, it is 
not necessary to serve motions to intervene or protests on persons 
other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and 
interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an 
original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 
20426.
    Comment Date: November 18, 2004.

Secretary.
