Description of Request: Sabine River Authority—LA & TX proposes a new article (i.e., Article 417—Project Administration) to be included in the project license. The project boundary is based mostly on metes and bounds surveys over 1,130 miles around the reservoir that were meant to provide a 50-foot buffer from the water’s edge. At the time of initial surveying (i.e., the 1960s), surveyors were allowed variances of up to 75 feet to the landward side of the project boundary, which resulted in the licensee acquiring, in many instances, more property than is needed for project purposes. The article would allow the licensee to adjust the project boundary under certain circumstances without prior Commission approval to ensure that the project boundary includes only those lands needed for project purposes. Specifically, the licensee would be able to make adjustments for lands that meet all three of these conditions: (1) Located entirely above the elevation 175 feet mean sea level contour; (2) located at least 50 feet from the reservoir shoreline; and (3) not otherwise needed for project purposes (i.e., project works, recreation, aquatic and terrestrial resource protection, shoreline control, or cultural resource protection). The licensee would file biennial reports describing its activities under the article, including revised Exhibit G (project boundary) drawings, if necessary. l.

Interventions

    Any person, which includes individuals, organizations, businesses, 
municipalities, and other entities,\3\ has the option to file a motion 
to intervene in this proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to 
request rehearing of Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to 
subsequently challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit 
Courts of Appeal.

    To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the 
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure \4\ and the regulations under the NGA \5\ by the 
intervention deadline for the project, which is January 6, 2022. As 
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to 
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as 
your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include 
your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted 
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly 
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information 
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.

    There are two ways to submit your motion to intervene. In both 
instances, please reference the Project docket numbers CP22-21-000 and

    (1) You may file your motion to intervene by using the Commission's 
eFiling feature, which is located on the Commission's website 
(www.ferc.gov) under the link to Documents and Filings. New eFiling 
users must first create an account by clicking on ``eRegister.'' You 
will be asked to select the type of filing you are making; first select 
``General'' and then select ``Intervention.'' The eFiling feature 
includes a document-less intervention option; for more information, 
visit https://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling/document-less-intervention.pdf.; or
    (2) You can file a paper copy of your motion to intervene, along 
with three copies, by mailing the documents to the address below.\6\ 
Your motion to intervene must reference the Project docket numbers 
CP22-21-000 and CP22-22-000.

    The Commission encourages electronic filing of motions to intervene 
(option 1 above) and has eFiling staff available to assist you at (202) 
502-8258 or [email protected]
    Motions to intervene must be served on the applicant either by mail 
or email at: 1001 19th Street North, Suite 1500, Arlington, Virginia 
22209 or at [email protected]. Any subsequent submissions by 
an intervenor must be served on the applicant and all other parties to 
the proceeding. Contact information for parties can be downloaded from 
the service list at the eService link on FERC Online. Service can be 
via email with a link to the document.
    All timely, unopposed \7\ motions to intervene are automatically 
granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1).\8\ Motions to intervene that 
are filed after the intervention deadline are untimely, and may be 
denied. Any late-filed motion to intervene must show good cause for 
being late and must explain why the time limitation should be waived 
and provide justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 
214(d) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.\9\ A person obtaining 
party status will be placed on the service list maintained by the 
Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies (paper or 
electronic) of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other 
parties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The applicant has 15 days from the submittal of a motion to 
intervene to file a written objection to the intervention.
