Records Governing Off-The-Record
Communications; Public Notice
This constitutes notice, in accordance
with 18 CFR 385.2201(b), of the receipt
of prohibited and exempt off-the-record
communications.
Order No. 607 (64 FR 51222,
September 22, 1999) requires
Commission decisional employees, who
make or receive a prohibited or exempt
off-the-record communication relevant
to the merits of a contested proceeding,
to deliver to the Secretary of the
Commission, a copy of the
communication, if written, or a
summary of the substance of any oral
communication.
Prohibited communications are
included in a public, non-decisional file
associated with, but not a part of, the
decisional record of the proceeding.
Unless the Commission determines that
the prohibited communication and any
responses thereto should become a part
of the decisional record, the prohibited
off-the-record communication will not
be considered by the Commission in
reaching its decision. Parties to a
proceeding may seek the opportunity to
respond to any facts or contentions
made in a prohibited off-the-record
communication and may request that
the Commission place the prohibited
communication and responses thereto
in the decisional record. The
Commission will grant such a request
only when it determines that fairness so
requires. Any person identified below as
having made a prohibited off-the-record
communication shall serve the
document on all parties listed on the
official service list for the applicable
proceeding in accordance with Rule
2010, 18 CFR 385.2010.
Exempt off-the-record
communications are included in the
decisional record of the proceeding,
unless the communication was with a
cooperating agency as described by 40
CFR 1501.6, made under 18 CFR
385.2201(e)(1)(v).
The following is a list of off-therecord communications recently
received by the Secretary of the
Commission. The communications
listed are grouped by docket numbers in
ascending order. These filings are
available for electronic review at the
Commission in the Public Reference
Room or may be viewed on the
Commission’s website at https://

Midship Pipeline Company, LLC;
Notice of Request for Extension of
Time
Take notice that on September 13,
2022, Midship Pipeline Company, LLC
(Midship) requested that the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) grant an extension of
time, until December 31, 2024, to
complete their Midcontinent Supply
Header Interstate Pipeline Project, as
authorized in the August 13, 2018 Order
Issuing Certificate Under Section 7 of
the Natural Gas Act (August 13 Order).1
Midship states that the original purpose
of the project was to provide a total of
1,440 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/
d) of year-round firm transportation
capacity from Oklahoma to existing
natural gas pipelines near Bennington,
Oklahoma for transport to growing Gulf
Coast and Southeast markets. Ordering
Paragraph (B)(1) of the August 13 Order,
as amended, provided a deadline of
August 13, 2020 to make their facilities
available for service.
On August 10, 2020, as supplemented
on August 12, 2020, Midship filed a
request for an extension of time, until
December 31, 2022, to complete
construction of the project and place the

remaining facilities—three compression
units—into service. The Commission
granted that requested extension of time
on December 17, 2020.2 That Order
recognized that Midship had placed all
other facilities into service and its
pipeline system was capable of
providing up to 1,100 MMcf/d of firm
transportation service.
Midship now states that, due to
adverse economic and logistical
conditions induced by the COVID–19
pandemic, commercial progress was
slowed. Midship now states that these
unforeseen circumstances precluded the
project from reaching full
commercialization, and that additional
time is now required to complete the
construction and place into service the
certain remaining facilities, namely
those three compression units.
This notice establishes a 15-calendar
day intervention and comment period
deadline. Any person wishing to
comment on the applicant’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
in accordance with the requirements of
the Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the Natural
Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).3
As a matter of practice, the
Commission itself generally acts on
requests for extensions of time to
complete construction for Natural Gas
Act facilities when such requests are
contested before order issuance. For
those extension requests that are
contested,4 the Commission will aim to
issue an order acting on the request
within 45 days.5 The Commission will
address all arguments relating to
whether the applicant has demonstrated
there is good cause to grant the
extension.6 The Commission will not
consider arguments that re-litigate the
issuance of the certificate order,
including whether the Commission
properly found the project to be in the
public convenience and necessity and
whether the Commission’s
environmental analysis for the
