Sabal Trail Transmission, LLC; Notice
of Request for Extension of Time
Take notice that on March 10, 2023,
Sabal Trail Transmission, LLC (Sabal
Trail) requested that the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (Commission)
grant an extension of time, until May 1,
2025, to complete Phase III of their
Sabal Trail Project, originally authorized
in the February 2, 2016 Order Issuing
Certificate Under Section 7 of the
Natural Gas Act (February 2 Order).1

This project involved the construction,
in three phases, of interstate pipeline
facilities that would allow Sabal Trail to
provide up to 1,075,000 dekatherms per
day (Dth/d) of transportation service to
delivery points in the southeastern
United States. Ordering Paragraph (F)(1)
of the February 2 Order, as amended,
provided a deadline of May 1, 2021, to
make Phase III of their project facilities
available for service.
On April 7, 2021, Sabal Trail filed a
request for an extension of time, until
May 1, 2023, to complete construction
of the project and place Phase III of the
remaining facilities—two compressor
units—into service. The Commission
granted that requested extension of time
on June 15, 2021.2 That delegated order
recognized that Sabal Trail had placed
all other facilities into service and its
pipeline system was capable of
providing up to 999,000 Dth/d of firm
transportation service.
Sabal Trail now states that, due to
adverse economic and logistical
conditions induced, in part, by the
COVID–19 pandemic, commercial
progress was slowed. Sabal Trail now
states that these unforeseen
circumstances precluded the project
from reaching full commercialization,
and that additional time is now required
to complete the installation of the
remaining two compressor units and
make them available for service.
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
certificate complied with the National
Environmental Policy Act.7 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.8 The OEP Director, or his or
her designee, will act on all of those
extension requests that are uncontested.
