Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Proposed Changes in 
FERC Gas Tariff

October 3, 1997.
    Take notice that on September 30, 1997, Eastern Shore Natural Gas 
Company (ESNG) tendered for filing as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, 
First Revised Volume No. 1, certain revised tariff sheets in the above 
captioned docket, with a proposed effective date of October 1, 1997.
    ESNG states the revised tariff sheets are being filed pursuant to 
Section 21 of the General Terms and Conditions of ESNG's Gas Tariff to 
reflect changes in ESNG's jurisdictional sales rates. The sales rates 
set forth on the revised tariff sheets reflect an increase of $0.9928 
per dt in the Commodity Charge, as measured against ESNG's 
corresponding sales rates in Docket No. TQ97-6-23-000 as filed on June 
27, 1997, to be effective August 1, 1997.
    The commodity current purchased gas cost adjustment reflects ESNG's 
projected cost of gas for the month of October, 1997, and has been 
calculated using its best estimate of available gas supplies to meet 
ESNG's anticipated purchase requirements. The increased gas costs in 
this filing are a result of higher prices being paid to producers-
marketers under ESNG's market-responsive gas supply contracts.
    ESNG states that copies of the filing have been served upon its 
jurisdictional customers and interested State Commissions.
    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, NE., Washington, DC 20426, in 
accordance with Section 385.211 and Section 385.214 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure. All such motions or protests must be 
filed as provided in Section 154.210 of the Regulations. 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.

Secretary.
