Download as PDF ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 26, 2023 / Notices Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) grant an extension of time, until May 31, 2025, for the Redfield Broderick Well Replacement Project (Project), to allow sufficient time to complete construction of the Project. Northern received a prior notice authorization for the Project on March 7, 2022, which authorized: Northern to replace the existing Broderick No. 9 well with a new well, the Broderick No. 16 well, along with associated surface facilities at Northern’s existing Redfield storage field located in Dallas County, Iowa. The Commission’s prior notice regulations require Northern to complete the construction of the Project and make it available for service within one year from issuance, or by March 7, 2023.1 In Northern’s request for an extension of time, Northern stated that it did not anticipate downhole issues within the Broderick No. 16 well and fully anticipated the drill would be completed within the one-year construction timeframe. Northern has completed the abandonment of the Broderick No. 9 well; however, the Broderick No. 16 well installation has not been completed. Northern reported in the weekly environmental inspector reports that Northern was experiencing downhole cement integrity issues at the Broderick No. 16 well resulting from poor cement bond quality in the production casing. To attempt to remediate the integrity concerns, Northern’s contractor conducted two cement squeeze remediations August 2022. Northern’s drilling contractor also ran a cement bond log tool, which indicated that the cement squeeze remediations were insufficient. On September 13, 2022, the drill rig was removed from Broderick No. 16 well lot, and Northern continues to work with industry consultants for remedial options. Due to the extenuating circumstances Northern requests an extension of time which to complete the Project from the one-year date of March 7, 2023, to the new projected completion date of May 31, 2025. This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on Northern’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 1 18 CFR 157.206. VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:28 Apr 25, 2023 Jkt 259001 Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).2 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,3 the Commission will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45 days.4 The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the extension.5 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.6 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.7 The OEP Director, or his or her designee, will act on those extension requests that are uncontested.
