Natural resolved the protest with BNSF on October 17, 2022, and the Project was deemed approved as of such date. Based on the Project approval date of October 17, 2022, Natural is required to complete Projectrelated construction by October 17, 2023. Natural states that its request for an extension of time is due to construction delays, and adverse weather conditions the Project has experienced, all as more fully discussed in its request for extension of time letter.

As such, Natural is respectfully seeking a limited extension of time in which to complete Project construction activities.

Regulatory Commission (Commission) grant an extension of time, until 
December 31, 2023, to complete construction of the Crawford Line #3

pursuant to 18 CFR

[[Page 70976]]

157.205, 157.206. 157.208(b) and 157.216(b) of the Commission's 
regulations and its blanket certificate authority granted in Docket No. 
CP82-402-000 for Commission authorization of the Project.\1\ On 
September 27, 2022, BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) filed a protest seeking 
additional information on the Project. Natural resolved the protest 
with BNSF on October 17, 2022, and the Project was deemed approved as 
of such date. Based on the Project approval date of October 17, 2022, 
Natural is required to complete Project-related construction by October 
17, 2023. Natural states that its request for an extension of time is 
due to construction delays, and adverse weather conditions the Project 
has experienced, all as more fully discussed in its request for

    As of September 29, 2023, Natural's Project construction is 
approximately 65 percent complete. However, given the remaining amount 
of work and potential for weather or other unforeseen delays, Natural 
does not believe it will be able to complete Project construction 
activities by October 17, 2023. As such, Natural is respectfully 
seeking a limited extension of time in which to complete Project 
construction activities. While Natural anticipates achieving mechanical 
completion of the Project by November 1, 2023, Natural is requesting an 
extension until December 31, 2023, to complete Project construction, 
accounting for potential delays.
    This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment 
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on Natural'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,\2\ the 
Commission will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45 
days.\3\ The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether 
the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the 
extension.\4\ 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.\5\ 
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.\6\ The OEP Director, or 
his or her designee, will act on all of those extension requests that 
are uncontested.
