Any questions regarding this
application should be directed to Jeffrey

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the
Commission staff will either: Complete
its environmental assessment (EA) and
place it into the Commission’s public
record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or
issue a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review. If a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review is
issued, it will indicate, among other

environmental impact statement (FEIS)
or EA for this proposal. The filing of the
EA in the Commission’s public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review will 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 FEIS or EA.
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)
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
3 copies of filings made in the
proceeding with the Commission and
must provide a copy to the applicant
and to every other party. 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 commentors will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, and will be
notified of any meetings associated with
the Commission’s environmental review
process. Environmental commentors
will not be required to serve copies of
filed documents on all other parties.

Jkt 247001
However, the non-party commentors
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.
As of the February 27, 2018 date of
the Commission’s order in Docket No.
CP16–4–001, the Commission will
apply its revised practice concerning
out-of-time motions to intervene in any
new Natural Gas Act section 3 or section
7 proceeding.1 Persons desiring to
become a party to a certificate
proceeding are to intervene in a timely
manner. If seeking to intervene out-oftime, the movant is required to show
good cause why the time limitation
should be waived, and should provide
justification by reference to factors set
forth in Rule 214(d)(1) of the
Commission’s Rules and Regulations.2
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 3 copies
of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission,
888 First Street NE, Washington, DC
20426.

In accordance with the National

the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission’s (Commission)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed the
application for license for the Hydro

Douglas County, Washington and has
prepared a Draft Environmental

except for the lower reservoir and power
generation and pumping equipment
which would be located on Rufus
Woods Lake, a reservoir operated by the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps).
The Corps, a cooperating agency for the
preparation of this environmental
assessment, is reviewing Shell’s project
for permits it would issue under
Sections 10 and 14 of the Rivers and
Harbors act of 1899 and Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act.
The DEA contains staff’s analysis of
the potential environmental impacts of
the project and concludes that licensing
the project, with appropriate
environmental protective measures,
would not constitute a major federal
action that would significantly affect the
quality of the human environment.
A copy of the DEA is available for
review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on
the Commission’s website at https://
