On August 16, 2018, the Commission
staff granted Double E’s request to
utilize the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-Filing Process
and assigned Docket No. PF18–6–000 to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
staff activities involving the Double E
Pipeline Project. Now, as of the filing of
this application on July 31, 2019, the
NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this project
has ended. From this time forward, this
proceeding will be conducted in Docket
No. CP19–495–000, as noted in the
caption of this Notice.
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
milestones, the anticipated date for the
Commission staff’s issuance of the final
environmental impact statement 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 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
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990

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 and will be
notified of any 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 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.

On August 16, 2018, the Commission staff granted Double E's request
to utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-Filing
Process and assigned Docket No. PF18-6-000 to staff activities
involving the Double E Pipeline Project. Now, as of the filing of this
application on July 31, 2019, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this
project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be
conducted in Docket No. CP19-495-000, as noted in the caption of this
Notice.
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
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement EA for this proposal. The
filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for this proceeding

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 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 commenters 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 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 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-of-time, the movant is required to show
good cause why the time limitation should be waived, and should provide
