PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 44295 DETI explains that on July 5, 2020, DETI and Duke Energy announced the cancellation of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. DETI avers that it will not be placing the ACP in service and that it has initiated planning the abandonment and restoration of ACP project areas. DETI further stated that because ACP will not be placed in-service, it no longer requests an extension of the Order condition related to making its facilities available for service. However, DETI requests, to the extent its necessary, a one-year extension of time, until October 13, 2021, to complete any construction activities that may be required to complete the abandonment and restoration of the ACP project areas. Additionally, DETI states that approximately 31 percent of the SHP mainline has been installed, and substantial work has occurred at three of the four existing compressor stations. DETI states that it is exploring options to utilize certain SHP facilities in conjunction with its existing system. Accordingly, DETI requests a two-year extension of time, until October 13, 2022 to complete construction of certain SHP facilities. This notice establishes a 15-calendar day comment period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on Atlantic’s and DETI’s modified request for an extension of time may do so. No reply comments or answers will be considered.
