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. 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 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 NGA 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 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 in lieu of 1 Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C., 162 FERC ¶ 61,167 at ¶ 50 (2018). 2 18 CFR 385.214(d)(1).

National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation; Notice of Request for 
Extension of Time

    Take notice that on July 20, 2020, National Fuel Gas Supply 
Corporation (National Fuel) requested that the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission (Commission) grant an extension of time, until 
July 24, 2021, to complete the Wharton WH23 Storage Well Abandonment 
Project (Project), as authorized after the 60-day deadline of National 
Fuel's prior notice issued by the Commission on May 25, 2017.
    National Fuel was initially required to abandon the facilities by 
July 24, 2018. On July 27, 2018, the Office of Energy Projects, by 
delegated order, extended the deadline through July 24, 2019. On July 
12, 2019, the Office of Energy Projects, by delegated order, extended 
the deadline through July 24, 2020. National Fuel now requests a one-
year extension of this deadline, through July 24, 2021. National Fuel 
states that it requires more time to continue and complete pressure 
evaluations of Well WH23, and to undertake the plugging, and final 
restoration of the Well WH23 site.
    This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment 
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on National Fuel'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

and necessity and whether the Commission's environmental analysis for 
the certificate complied with the National Environmental Policy Act.\5\ 
At the time a pipeline requests an extension of time, orders on 
certificates of public convenience and necessity are final and the 
Commission will not re-litigate their issuance.\6\ The OEP Director, or 
his or her designee, will act on all of those extension requests that 
are uncontested.
