Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Cash Out Report

August 10, 2005.
    Take notice that on August 5, 2005, Eastern Shore Natural Gas 
Company (Eastern Shore) tendered for filing revised tariff sheets, 
proposed to be effective July 1, 2005, to eliminate its Cash Out 
Surcharge rate for the twelve-month period commencing July 1, 2005.
    Eastern Shore states that, as a result of its Cash Out Account 
Balance at March 31, 2005 being in a refund position, Eastern Shore 
shall refund such balance of $386,237 to its customers. As a further 
result of such refund Eastern Shore shall also reduce its Cash Out 
Surcharge rate from $0.0033 to $0.0000 per dekatherm.
    Eastern Shore states that section 35, of the General Terms & 
Conditions (GT & C) of its FERC Gas Tariff, 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.
    The annual billing period referenced above shall be the twelve-
month period commencing April 1st and ending the following March 31st. 
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. If the revenues received exceed the costs 
incurred, then Eastern Shore shall refund the net overrecoveries to 
firm transportation customers on a pro rata basis in accordance with 
the transportation quantities Eastern Shore delivered during the annual 
billing period. 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. 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 has been mailed to 
its customers and interested state commissions.
    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
