comment on the EA may do so. Your
comments should focus on the EA’s
disclosure and discussion of potential
environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or
lessen environmental impacts. The more
specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. To ensure that the
Commission has the opportunity to
consider your comments prior to
making its decision on this project, it is
important that we receive your
comments in Washington, DC on or
before 5:00 pm Eastern Time on March
29, 2021.
For your convenience, there are three
methods you can use to file your
comments to the Commission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing
of comments and has staff available to
assist you at (866) 208–3676 or
FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. Please
carefully follow these instructions so
that your comments are properly
recorded.
(1) You can file your comments
electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission’s website
(www.ferc.gov) under the link to FERC
Online. This is an easy method for
submitting brief, text-only comments on
a project;
(2) You can also file your comments
electronically using the eFiling feature
on the Commission’s website
(www.ferc.gov) under the link to FERC
Online. With eFiling, you can provide
comments in a variety of formats by
attaching them as a file with your
submission. New eFiling users must
first create an account by clicking on
‘‘eRegister.’’ You must select the type of
filing you are making. If you are filing
a comment on a particular project,
please select ‘‘Comment on a Filing’’; or
(3) You can file a paper copy of your
comments by mailing them to the
Commission. Be sure to reference the
project docket number (CP20–504–000)
on your letter. Submissions sent via the
U.S. Postal Service must be addressed
to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington,
DC 20426. Submissions sent via any
other carrier must be addressed to:
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 12225
Wilkins Avenue, Rockville, Maryland
20852.
Filing environmental comments will
not give you intervenor status, but you
do not need intervenor status to have
your comments considered. Only
intervenors have the right to seek
rehearing or judicial review of the
Commission’s decision. At this point in
this proceeding, the timeframe for filing
timely intervention requests has

expired. Any person seeking to become
a party to the proceeding must file a
motion to intervene out-of-time
pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedures (18 CFR 385.214(b)(3) and

limitation should be waived. Motions to
intervene are more fully described at
https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/ferconline/how-guides.
Additional information about the
project is available from the
Commission’s Office of External Affairs,
at (866) 208–FERC, or on the FERC
website (www.ferc.gov) using the
eLibrary link. The eLibrary link also
provides access to the texts of all formal
documents issued by the Commission,
such as orders, notices, and
rulemakings.
In addition, the Commission offers a
free service called eSubscription which
allows you to keep track of all formal
issuances and submittals in specific
dockets. This can reduce the amount of
time you spend researching proceedings
by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document
summaries, and direct links to the
documents. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/
ferc-online/overview to register for
eSubscription.
