Any person may, within 60 days after

(18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene 

or notice of intervention. Any person 

filing to intervene or the Commission’s 

staff may, pursuant to section 157.205 of 

the Commission’s Regulations under the 

NGA (18 CFR 157.205) file a protest to 

the request. If no protest is filed within 

the time allowed therefore, the proposed

its environmental assessment (EA) and

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commenters will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commenter will 

not receive copies of all documents filed 

by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages

and interventions via the internet in lieu
