[Docket No. CP24–13–000] 

MountainWest Overthrust Pipeline, 

LLC; Notice of Application and 

Establishing Intervention Deadline 

Take notice that on November 2, 

2023, MountainWest Overthrust 

Pipeline, LLC (Overthrust), 333 S. State 

St., 3rd Floor, Salt Lake City, Utah 

84111, filed an application under 

section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA), and Part 157 of the 

Commission’s regulations requesting 

authorization for its Westbound 

Compression Expansion Project 

(Project). The Project is an incremental 

expansion of Overthrust’s existing 

pipeline system that will enable 

Overthrust to provide an additional 

325,000 dekatherms per day of 

westbound firm transportation capacity. 

Overthrust proposes to install one 

15,900 ISO-rated horsepower (HP), gasfired turbine compressor unit each at its 

Point of Rocks and Rock Springs 

Compressor Stations and 

appurtenances, all located in Lincoln 

and Sweetwater Counties, Wyoming. 

Overthrust estimates the total cost of the 

Project to be $116,900,000. Overthrust 

proposes an incremental recourse 

reservation rate applicable to the firm 

transportation service under the Project. 

The Project shipper has elected to pay 

a negotiated reservation rate, all as more 

fully set forth in the application which 

is on file with the Commission and open 

for public inspection. 

In addition to publishing the full text 

of this document in the Federal 

Register, the Commission provides all 

interested persons an opportunity to 

view and/or print the contents of this 

document via the internet through the

Notice the Commission staff will either: 

complete its environmental review and 

place it into the Commission’s public

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or environmental assessment (EA) for 

this proposal. The filing of an EA in the 

Commission’s public record for this 

proceeding or the issuance of a Notice 

of Schedule for Environmental Review 

will serve to notify federal and state 

agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA. 

Public Participation

cost for filing comments or intervening. 

The deadline for filing a motion to 

intervene is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 

December 6, 2023. How to file protests, 

motions to intervene, and comments is 

explained below.

environmental mailing list, and will 

receive notification when the 

environmental documents (EA or EIS)

notified of meetings associated with the 

Commission’s environmental review 

process. 

The Commission considers all 

comments received about the project in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken. However, 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. 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 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 7 and the regulations under 

the NGA 8 by the intervention deadline 

for the project, which is December 6, 

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. 

There are two ways to submit your 

motion to intervene. In both instances, 

please reference the Project docket 

number CP24–13–000 in your 

submission. 

(1) You may file your motion to 

intervene by using the Commission’s 

eFiling feature, which is located on the 

Commission’s website (www.ferc.gov)

Filings. New eFiling users must first 

create an account by clicking on

select ‘‘General’’ and then select 

‘‘Intervention.’’ The eFiling feature 

includes a document-less intervention 

option; for more information, visit 

https://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling/ 

document-less-intervention.pdf; or 

(2) You can file a paper copy of your 

motion to intervene, along with three 

copies, by mailing the documents to the 

address below. Your motion to 

intervene must reference the Project 

docket number CP24–13–000. 

To file via USPS: Kimberly D. Bose, 

Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission, 888 First Street NE,

submissions by an intervenor must be 

served on the applicant and all other 

parties to the proceeding. Contact 

information for parties can be 

downloaded from the service list at the 

eService link on FERC Online. Service

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1).10 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.11

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and

Revised Schedule for White Pine 

Pumped Storage Project 

This notice revises the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission’s (Commission) 

schedule for processing White Pine 

Waterpower, LLC’s license application 

for the White Pine Pumped Storage 

Project. A prior notice issued on May 

11, 2023, identified an anticipated 

schedule for issuance of draft and final 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) documents and a final order for 

the project. After the issuance of that 

notice, White Pine Waterpower, LLC 

indicated that it will be conducting a 

hydrogeologic study that provides data 

on local aquifer stratigraphy, 

groundwater elevation, and water 

quality needed to support the design of 

the project’s water supply wellfield. 

White Pine Waterpower, LLC stated that 

it would file the study results by 

‘‘November 2024’’. On October 26, 2023, 

Commission staff issued a letter 

requiring White Pine Waterpower, LLC 

to file the corresponding study results 

with the Bureau of Land Management 

before filing them with the Commission 

by January 31, 2025. To account for the 

additional time needed for White Pine 

Waterpower, LLC to complete the 

studies and file the study results, the 

application will be processed according 

to the following revised schedule.
