proposed as Phase I–A of the project.
The motion is on file with the

There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
North Baja’s request. First, any person
wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to this proceeding
should, on or before the comment date
listed below, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene 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 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
14 copies of this filing and all
subsequent filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy of all
filing to the applicant and to every other
party in the proceeding. Only parties to
the proceeding can ask for court review
of Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, other persons do not have
to intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to North Baja’s request. The
Commission will consider these
comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the
filing of a comment alone will not serve
to make the filer a party to the
proceeding. The Commission’s rules
require that persons filing comments in
opposition to this project provide copies
of their protests only to the party or
parties directly involved in the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only in
support of or in opposition to North
Baja’s request should submit an original
and two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission. The
Commission’s rules require that persons
filing comments in opposition to the
project provide copies of their protests
only to the applicant. However, the nonparty commenters will not receive
copies of all documents filed by other
parties or issued by the Commission and
will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission’s final order.
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 (https://
