Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC;
Notice of Request for Extension of
Time
Take notice that on July 8, 2020,
Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC
(Columbia) requested that the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) grant an extension of
time, until July 18, 2023, to complete
the construction of the Eastern

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Panhandle Expansion Project, as
authorized in the July 19, 2018 Order
Issuing Certificate (July 19 Order).1 The
July 19 Order required Columbia to
complete construction and make the
facilities available for service within
two years of the Order date.
Columbia states that, due to
unforeseen delays in acquiring an
easement from the government of
Maryland across the Western Maryland
Rail Trail, additional time is now
required in order to complete the
construction of the authorized Project
facilities.
This notice establishes a 15-calendar
day intervention and comment period
deadline. Any person wishing to
comment on Columbia’s request for an
extension of time may do so. No reply
comments or answers will be
considered. If you wish to obtain legal
status by becoming a party to the
proceedings for this request, you
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file 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 Natural
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).2
As a matter of practice, the
Commission itself generally acts on
requests for extensions of time to
complete construction for Natural Gas
Act facilities when such requests are
contested before order issuance. For
those extension requests that are
contested,3 the Commission will aim to
issue an order acting on the request
within 45 days.4 The Commission will
address all arguments relating to
whether the applicant has demonstrated
there is good cause to grant the
extension.5 The Commission will not
consider arguments that re-litigate the
issuance of the certificate order,
including whether the Commission
properly found the project to be in the
public convenience and necessity and
whether the Commission’s
environmental analysis for the
certificate complied with the National
Environmental Policy Act.6 At the time

2 Only motions to intervene from entities that
were party to the underlying proceeding will be
accepted. Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC, 170
FERC 61,144, at P 39 (2020).

intervenor disputes any material issue of the filing.

the issuance of an NGA section 3 authorization,
including whether a proposed project is not
inconsistent with the public interest and whether

issuance.7 The OEP Director, or his or
her designee, will act on all of those
extension requests that are uncontested.

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 (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 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
five 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.
