The Prior Notice requested authorization to abandon certain compressor facilities and associated mainline capacity at its Python Compressor Station located in Converse County, Wyoming. On July 11, 2022, the Commission issued a Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization, which established a 60-day comment period, ending on September 9, 2022, to file protests. No protests were filed during the comment period, and accordingly the project was authorized on September 10, 2022 and by Rule should have been completed within one year. In its 2023 Extension of Time Request, MIGC states that it is determining whether retention of all or a portion of the facilities and associated capacity authorized for abandonment may be necessary to meet changing market demands. MIGC explains that a recent shift in market conditions was unanticipated and presents an extenuating circumstance that may require the continued use of MIGC’s compressor facilities at its Python Compressor Station. Although, MIGC stated in the Prior Notice request that local production of natural gas in the area that MIGC operates in Wyoming VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:32 Sep 11, 2023 Jkt 259001 has been steadily declining over the past ten years, recent market conditions suggest that retaining the capacity associated with the Python Compressor Station may be the most efficient way to serve changing market needs while providing the least amount of environmental impact.

No reply comments or answers will be considered.

MIGC LLC; Notice of Request for Extension of Time

    Take notice that on August 28, 2023, MIGC LLC (MIGC) requested that 
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) grant an 
extension of time (2023 Extension of Time Request), until September 10, 
2024, to abandon certain compressor facilities and associated mainline 
capacity at its Python Compressor Station located in Converse County, 
Wyoming, in the Prior Notice Request for Authorization Under Blanket 
Certificate (Prior Notice) under Docket No. CP22-480-000. The Prior 
Notice requested authorization to abandon certain compressor facilities 
and associated mainline capacity at its Python Compressor Station 
located in Converse County, Wyoming. On July 11, 2022, the Commission 
issued a Notice of Request Under Blanket Authorization, which 
established a 60-day comment period, ending on September 9, 2022, to 
file protests. No protests were filed during the comment period, and 
accordingly the project was authorized on September 10, 2022 and by 
Rule should have been completed within one year.
    In its 2023 Extension of Time Request, MIGC states that it is 
determining whether retention of all or a portion of the facilities and 
associated capacity authorized for abandonment may be necessary to meet 
changing market demands. MIGC explains that a recent shift in market 
conditions was unanticipated and presents an extenuating circumstance 
that may require the continued use of MIGC's compressor facilities at 
its Python Compressor Station. Although, MIGC stated in the Prior 
Notice request that local production of natural gas in the area that 
MIGC operates in Wyoming has been steadily declining over the past ten 
years, recent market conditions suggest that retaining the capacity 
associated with the Python Compressor Station may be the most efficient 
way to serve changing market needs while providing the least amount of 
environmental impact.
    This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment 
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on MIGC'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).
    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,\1\ the 
Commission will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45 
days.\2\ The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether 
the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the 
extension.\3\ 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.\4\ 
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.\5\ The OEP Director, or 
his or her designee, will act on all of those extension requests that 
are uncontested.
