Company (Eastern Shore), 417 Bank Lane, Dover, Delaware 19904, filed in 
Docket No. CP08-432-000, a prior notice request pursuant to sections 
157.205(b), and 157.211 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's 
regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and its blanket authority 
granted in Docket No. CP96-128-000 for authorization to construct, own, 
and operate a new delivery point to be located in Sussex County, 
Delaware, in order to provide natural gas service to INVISTA 
S.[aacute].r.l. (INVISTA), all as more fully set forth in the 
application, which is on file with the Commission and open to public

    Eastern Shore proposes to construct, own, and operate a new 
delivery point to deliver natural gas to INVISTA to be located in 
Sussex County, Delaware. Eastern Shore proposes to design and 
construct, or cause the design and construction of, a six-inch tap and 
valve and approximately 8,500 feet of six-inch steel pipe from an 
existing point on its system to a new measuring and regulating (M&R) 
station located at the INVISTA manufacturing facility. Eastern Shore 
states that the proposed delivery point would supply one new boiler 
which INVISTA is currently installing at its manufacturing facility 
near the city of Seaford (Seaford Site). Eastern Shore asserts that 
there will be no impact on Eastern Shore's peak day deliveries due to 
the off-peak seasonal nature of the firm transportation (FT) service 
subscribed to by INVISTA. Eastern Shore states that INVISTA responded 
to Eastern Shore's recent notice of Available Firm Capacity pursuant to 
Section 14 of its FERC Gas Tariff by submitting a bid for a Maximum 
Daily Transportation Quantity (MDTQ) of 2,352 dekatherms per day (Dth/
d) for the non-peak months of March through October for a fifteen-year 
term commencing May 1, 2009. Eastern Shore asserts that INVISTA will 
reimburse Eastern Shore for the cost of the proposed facilities through 
the FT rate specified in the FT Service Agreement. Eastern Shore states 
that the total estimated cost of the proposed project is approximately 
$1.9 million.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Glen 
DiEleuterio, P.E., Project Manager, Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company, 
417 Bank Lane, Dover, Delaware 19904, or at (302) 734-6710, extension 
6723.
    Any person may, within 60 days after the issuance of the instant 
notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's 
Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of 
intervention. Any person filing to intervene or the Commission's staff 
may, pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's Regulations under 
the NGA (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to the request. If no protest 
is filed within the time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall 
be deemed to be authorized effective the day after the time allowed for 
protest. If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after 
the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request shall be 
treated as an application for authorization pursuant to section 7 of 
the NGA.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests, and interventions via the Internet in lieu of paper. See 18 
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web 
site (www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link.

Secretary.
