On November 13, 2014, the
Commission staff granted ACP’s and
DTI’s requests to utilize the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) PreFiling Process and assigned Docket Nos.
PF15–6–000 and PF15–5–000,
respectively to staff activities involving
the combined Atlantic Coast Pipeline
and Supply Header projects. Now, as of
the filing of the applications on
September 18, 2015, the NEPA PreFiling Process for this project has ended.
From this time forward, this proceeding
will be conducted in Docket No. CP15–
554–000 for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline
and CP15–555–000 for DTI’s Supply
Header project, as noted in the caption
of this Notice.
Within 90 days after the Commission
issues a Notice of Application for the
ACP, Supply Header and ACP—
Piedmont Lease projects, the
Commission staff will issue a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review that
will indicate the anticipated date for the
Commission’s staff issuance of the final
EIS analyzing both the three proposals.
The issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will also serve to
notify federal and state agencies of the
timing for the completion of all
necessary reviews, and the subsequent
need to complete all federal
authorizations within 90 days of the
date of issuance of the Commission
staff’s final EIS.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated 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)
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
60887
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
7 copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy 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, a person does 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 this project. 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 the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commenters
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents 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 in lieu of paper using
the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file
electronically should submit an original
and 5 copies of the protest or
intervention to the Federal Energy
regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
NE., Washington, DC 20426.

dam width, associated water levels, or
project operation.

Commission staff will issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review that will indicate the anticipated date for the Commission's
staff issuance of the final EIS analyzing both the three proposals. The
issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will also
serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the
completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to

documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 7 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy 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, a person does 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 this project.
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 the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
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 in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at https://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426.
Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 23, 2015.
