The November 15 Order required Columbia Gulf to complete construction and make the facilities available for service within one year of the order date. On July 7, 2020, Columbia Gulf requested an extension of time until November 15, 2021 to place the replacement facilities into service, to allow additional time for the U.S. Department of Transportation (‘‘DOT’’) to reach a decision on Columbia Gulf’s application for a special permit.

On August 6, 2020, the Commission granted Columbia Gulf an extension of time until November 15, 2021. The special permit application Columbia Gulf submitted to DOT on October 15, 2019 has yet to receive a determination. In order to provide DOT with additional time necessary to make a determination on Columbia Gulf’s special permit application, Columbia Gulf respectfully requests a further extension of time to and including November 15, 2022, to place the replacement facilities into service. Upon receipt of the special permit, Columbia Gulf would, pursuant to Rule 212 of the Rules of Practice and Procedures of the Commission, 18 CFR 385.212, Columbia Gulf would submit a Motion to Vacate the authorizations granted in the November 15 Order with respect to the Mainline 100 and Mainline 200 Replacement Project.

This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on Columbia Gulf’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 1 Columbia Gulf Transmission, LLC, 169 FERC ¶ 62,084 (2019).
