In its 2024 Extension of Time Request, Columbia Gulf states that due to delays in obtaining all Federal authorizations required for the Project, it requires additional time to complete construction of the authorized Project facilities. Specifically, Columbia Gulf explains that all required Federal permits were recently obtained and on December 5, 2023, as supplemented, Columbia Gulf filed a request with the Commission for Notice to Proceed with construction of the Project. On December 14, 2023, the Commission granted Columbia Gulf’s request. Columbia Gulf states that it subsequently mobilized crews and commenced bona fide construction activities on December 21, 2023. Columbia Gulf states that construction is anticipated to be complete during the last quarter of 2024, with a Project inservice anticipated by February 1, 2025. This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on Columbia Gulf’s request for an extension of time may do so. No reply comments or answers will be considered. If you wish to obtain legal 1 Columbia Gulf Transmission, LLC, 172 FERC ¶ 61,260 (2020).

As a matter of practice, the Commission itself generally acts on requests for extensions of time to complete construction for NGA 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 (NEPA).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 Director of the Office of Energy Projects, or his or her designee, will act on all of those extension requests that are uncontested.
