requested that the Commission grant an extension of time, until January 
31, 2025, to complete its Well 3660 Plug and Abandonment Project

litigation involving Well 3660 and pending in the Court of Common Pleas 
of Greene County, Pennsylvania (Court), Equitrans was required to 
preserve physical evidence, which includes the well. Equitrans received 
an order from the Court lifting the preservation order on September 9, 
2024. Equitrans asserts that it is finalizing written protocols for 
plugging and abandonment to submit to the parties to the litigation 
prior to commencement of plugging activities. Thus, Equitrans requests 
an extension of time, until January 31, 2025, to complete the 
abandonment activities.
    This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment 
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on Equitrans' request

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.
