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

December 4, 1996.
    Take notice that on November 25, 1996 Eastern Shore Natural Gas 
Company (ESNG) tendered for filing certain revised tariff sheets in the 
above captioned docket as part of its FERC Gas Tariff, First Revised 
Volume No. 1, with a proposed effective date of December 1, 1996.
    ESNG states that the revised tariff sheets included herein 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 rates. 
The sales rates set forth herein reflect an increase of $1.0491 per dt 
in the Commodity Charge, as measured against ESNG's Out-Of-Cycle 
Quarterly PGA filing, Docket No. TQ97-1-23-000, et. al., filed on 
October 30, 1996 to be effective on November 1, 1996.
    The commodity current purchased gas cost adjustment reflects ESNG's 
projected cost of gas for the months of December 1996 through January 
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/suppliers 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, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20426, 
in accordance with Sections 385.211 and 385.214 of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure. All such motions or protests must be 
filed in accordance with Section 154.210 of the Commission's 
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.

Acting Secretary.
