party, you must intervene in the
proceeding. For instructions on how to

individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities,6 has

To intervene, you must submit a
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 April 1, 2024.
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.

directly impacted by the project in order
to intervene. For more information

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

Courts of Appeal.
