[Docket No. CP97-283-000]
Eastern Shore Natural Gas Company; Notice of Application
March 19, 1997.
Take notice that on March 11, 1997, Eastern Shore Natural Gas
Company (Eastern Shore), Box 615, Dover, Delaware 19903-0615, filed an
application pursuant to Sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA) for a certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing
Eastern Shore to (1) construct and operate 0.4 miles of 16-inch
diameter pipeline; and (2) abandon in place 0.4 miles of existing 10-
inch diameter pipeline, all as more fully set forth in the application,
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
Eastern Shore says that the proposed pipeline segment, to be
located in New Castle County, Delaware, would replace existing pipeline
that must be relocated due to Delaware State Department of
Transportation (DelDOT) highway construction. Construction of the
proposed facilities is planned to be undertaken between Fall 1997 and
Spring 1998.
Eastern Shore estimates that the incremental additional cost of
upsizing the pipeline segment proposed in its application will be
$53,620 and estimates the total project cost to be $329,856. Eastern
Shore states that it will finance the cost of the project initially
from internally generated funds and short term notes and that permanent
financing will be arranged after construction has been completed.
Eastern Shore requests that the total cost of these facilities be
rolled-in to its total system costs for rate purposes.
Any person desiring to be heard or to make any protest with
reference to said application should on or before April 9, 1997, file
with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Washington, D.C. 20426,
a motion to intervene or a protest in accordance with the requirements
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.100). All
protests filed with the Commission will be considered by it in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make the protestants parties to the proceeding. Any person wishing to
become a party to a proceeding or to participate as a party in any
hearing therein must file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
Commission's Rules.
Take further notice that, pursuant to the authority contained in
and subject to the jurisdiction conferred upon the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission by Section 7 and Section 15 of the NGA and the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, a hearing will be held
without further notice before the Commission or its designee of this
application if no motion to intervene is filed within the time required
herein, if the Commission on its own review of the matter finds that a
grant of the certificate is required by the public convenience and
necessity. If a motion to intervene is timely filed, or if the
Commission on its own motion believes that a formal hearing is
required, further notice of such hearing will be duly given.
Under the procedure herein provided for, unless otherwise advised,
it will be unnecessary for Eastern Shore to appear or be represented at
the hearing.
Linwood A. Watson, Jr.
Acting Secretary.
