DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP24–44–000] 

ANR Storage Company; Notice of 

Request Under Blanket Authorization 

and Establishing Intervention and 

Protest Deadline 

Take notice that on January 18, 2024, 

ANR Storage Company (ANR Storage), 

700 Louisiana Street, Suite 1300, 

Houston, Texas 77002–2700, filed in the 

above referenced docket, a prior notice 

request pursuant to sections 157.205, 

and 157.216(b) of the Commission’s 

regulations under the Natural Gas Act 

(NGA), and ANR Storage’s blanket 

certificate issued in Docket No. CP82– 

523–000, for authorization to abandon 

one injection/withdrawal well, and the 

connecting pipeline and appurtenances 

at its Excelsior 6 Storage Field. All of 

the above facilities are located in 

Kalkaska County, Michigan (2024 

Excelsior Well Abandonment Project). 

ANR Storage states the project will: (1) 

reduce public risk of unintended gas 

release from deteriorating wellhead and 

pipeline; (2) reduce the risk of customer 

gas being lost from reservoirs due to 

deteriorating subsurface conditions; and 

(3) eliminate the need for future 

expenditures associated with these 

assets, all without affecting ANR 

Storage’s existing storage services. The 

estimated cost for the project is 

$416,000, all as more fully set forth in 

the request which is on file with the 

Commission and open to 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

Public Participation 

There are three ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project: you can file a protest to the 

project, you can file a motion to 

intervene in the proceeding, and you 

can file comments on the project. There 

is no fee or cost for filing protests, 

motions to intervene, or comments. The 

deadline for filing protests, motions to 

intervene, and comments is 5 p.m. 

Eastern Time on March 26, 2024. How 

to file protests, motions to intervene, 

and comments is explained below. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@

ferc.gov. 

Protests 

Pursuant to section 157.205 of the 

Commission’s regulations under the 

NGA,1 any person 2 or the Commission’s 

staff may file a protest to the request. If 

no protest is filed within the time 

allowed or if a protest is filed and then 

withdrawn within 30 days after the 

allowed time for filing a protest, the 

proposed activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for protest. If a protest is 

filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 

after the time allowed for filing a 

protest, the instant request for 

authorization will be considered by the 

Commission. 

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 March 26, 

2024. 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 March 26, 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. 

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 

and properly recorded, please submit 

your comments on or before March 26, 

2024. The filing of a comment alone will
