party, you must intervene in the
proceeding. For instructions on how to
intervene, see below.
Interventions
Any person, which includes
individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities,6 has
the option to file a motion to intervene

motion to intervene to the Commission
in accordance with Rule 214 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure 7 and the regulations under
the NGA 8 by the intervention deadline
for the project, which is October 10,
2023. 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

Persons who comment on the environmental review of this project
will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, and will

proceeding. To become a party, you must intervene in the proceeding.
For instructions on how to intervene, see below.
Interventions
Any person, which includes individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities,\6\ has the option to file a motion
to intervene in this proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to

subsequently challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit
Courts of Appeal.
