¶ 61,206 (2021). 

Protests must comply with the 

requirements specified in section 

157.205(e) of the Commission’s 

regulations,3 and must be submitted by 

the protest deadline, which is October 

23, 2023. A protest may also serve as a 

motion to intervene so long as the 

protestor states it also seeks to be an 

intervenor. 

Interventions 

Any person has the option to file a 

motion to intervene in this proceeding. 

Only intervenors have the right to 

request rehearing of Commission orders 

issued in this proceeding and to 

subsequently challenge the 

Commission’s orders in the U.S. Circuit 

Courts of Appeal. 

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 4 and the regulations under 

the NGA 5 by the intervention deadline 

for the project, which is October 23, 

2023. 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. You do not need to have 

property directly impacted by the 

project in order to intervene. For more 

information about motions to intervene, 

refer to the FERC website at https://

www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/ 

intervene.asp. 

All timely, unopposed motions to 

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to 

intervene that are filed after the 

intervention deadline are untimely and 

may be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause for 

being late and must explain why the 

time limitation should be waived and 

provide justification by reference to 

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A 

person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and 

will receive copies (paper or electronic) 

of all documents filed by the applicant 

and by all other parties.

the project may do so. The Commission 

considers all comments received about 

the project in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken. To 

ensure that your comments are timely

2023. The filing of a comment alone will 

not serve to make the filer a party to the 

proceeding. To become a party, you 

must intervene in the proceeding.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP21–31–001] 

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; 

Notice of Request for Extension of 

Time 

Take notice that on August 22, 2023, 

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas 

Eastern), requested that the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission) grant an extension of time 

until December 23, 2023, to complete 

construction of the Perulack Compressor 

Units Replacement Project (Project) and 

place the Project facilities into service, 

as authorized in the September 23, 2021 

Order Issuing Certificate and Approving 

Abandonment (Certificate Order),1

under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA). 

Texas Eastern states it has completed 

abandonment activities as of June 30, 

2023, and since that time has installed 

major foundations, set prefabricated 

buildings, installed major equipment, 

erected the compressor building, set the 

turbines, installed a portion of the main 

gas and utility pipeline, and installed 

electrical raceways and wiring. The 

remaining Project activities include the

4 Id. at P 40. 

5Similarly, the Commission will not re-litigate 

the issuance of an NGA section 3 authorization, 

including whether a proposed project is not 

inconsistent with the public interest and whether 

the Commission’s environmental analysis for the 

permit order complied with NEPA.

installation of turbine air ducting and 

exhaust, main gas and utility piping to 

the turbines and ancillary equipment, 

installation of electrical panels and 

terminations, and site development. 

Texas Eastern explains that its 

original construction schedule 

contemplated construction activities 

commencing in August 2021, running 

for approximately 16 months, and 

included construction windows based 

on meeting customer firm service 

requirements during peak demand 

season. Texas Eastern began 

construction in October 2021 shortly 

after receiving the Certificate Order, 

however, modifications to the schedule 

and construction phases were required 

to meet Texas Eastern’s obligations for 

the upcoming winter heating season, 

resulting in a 24-month construction 

timeline. To avoid service disruption 

during the winter heating season, Texas 

Eastern states it planned for 

construction activities not to occur 

during the winter when there is a high 

demand for gas. Accordingly, the 

remaining Project activities are 

scheduled to be completed before the 

start of the 2023–2024 winter heating 

season. Texas Eastern avers its request 

for a three-month extension is 

consistent with Commission precedent 

and will not result in any additional 

environmental impacts not already 

examined on the record. 

This notice establishes a 15-calendar 

day intervention and comment period 

deadline. Any person wishing to 

comment on Texas Eastern’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 NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). 

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.
