[Docket No. RP97-231-000]
Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in
FERC Gas Tariff
January 23, 1997.
Take notice that on January 17, 1997, Eastern Shore Natural Gas
Company (Eastern Shore) tendered for filing a completely new and
revised FERC Gas Tariff, Second Revised Volume No. 1, reflecting
restructured services, rates, and general terms and conditions,
proposed to become effective on May 1, 1997 or the effective date of
Eastern Shore's Part 284 blanket certificate, whichever is later.
Eastern Shore states that pursuant to Section 4 of the Natural Gas
Act, and Sections 154.7, 154.301, et seq. of the Regulations of the
Commission, Eastern Shore is also filing revisions to certain
statements and schedules which were initially filed in Docket No. RP97-
32-000, Eastern Shore's Section 4 general rate increase filing, in
which it filed as a closed merchant pipeline. Such statements and
schedules have been revised to reflect Eastern Shore's proposed status
as an open access transportation pipeline.
Eastern Shore states that it requests that the Commission permit
the rates and charges proposed for all of the jurisdictional services
to be provided by Eastern Shore to become effective as conditional
rates and charges that may be subject to subsequent adjustment by
Commission order after the rates and charges proposed in the instant
filing are permitted to become effective.
Eastern Shore further requests that the Commission, in its order on
the instant filing, expressly give notice that the conditional rates
and charges which are permitted to become effective may be subsequently
adjusted by Commission order retroactive to the date on which such
rates and charges are permitted to become effective.
Eastern Shore states that the purpose of this conditional rate
determination is to give notice to all that the provisional rates and
charges may be subject to retroactive adjustment at a later date.
Eastern Shore states that copies of the filing have been served
upon the parties listed on the Commission's official service list in
Docket Nos. RP97-32-000 and CP96-128-000.
Any person desiring to be heard or to protest said filing should
file a motion to intervene or protest with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426,
in accordance with Rule 211 and Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practices and Procedure (18 CFR Section 385.211 and Section 385.214).
All such motions or protests must be filed on or about February 7,
1997. 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 motion to intervene. Copies of this filing are on file with the
Commission and are available for public inspection.
Lois D. Cashell,
Secretary.
