6Additionally, you may file your comments 

electronically by using the eComment feature, 

which is located on the Commission’s website at 

www.ferc.gov under the link to Documents and 

Filings. Using eComment is an easy method for 

interested persons to submit brief, text-only 

comments on a project. 

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withdrawn within 30 days after the 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filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 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 November 

22, 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 November 22, 

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. 

Comments 

Any person wishing to comment on 

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 November 

22, 2024. 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.

protests, motions to intervene, and

l. Project Description: The proposed 

White Pine Project would involve 

constructing the following new 

facilities: (1) a 5,695-foot-long lined 

compacted rock-fill dam that would 

create a 4,082-acre-foot upper reservoir 

that would be lined with an 

impermeable polyvinylchloride liner to 

reduce leakage and would be 

surrounded by a 10-foot-high wildlife 

and security fence; (2) a 6,629-foot-long 

compacted earth-fill embankment dam 

that would create a 4,241-acre-foot 

lower reservoir that would be lined with 

an impermeable liner to reduce leakage 

and would be surrounded by a 10-foothigh wildlife and security fence; (3) a 

water conveyance system connecting 

the upper and lower reservoirs that 

consists of the following structures: (a) 

an ungated vertical inlet/outlet 

bellmouth-type structure located at the 

bottom of the upper reservoir with a 65- 

foot-deep conical transition to provide 

flow into a 20-foot-diameter, 2,260-foothigh reinforced concrete-lined vertical 

headrace shaft; (b) a 20-foot-diameter, 

240-foot-long horizontal steel-lined 

high-pressure headrace tunnel; (c) three 

11-foot-diameter, 134- to- 200-foot-long 

steel-lined underground penstocks, each 

with a turbine main inlet valve just 

upstream of each pump-turbine unit; (d) 

three 13-foot-diameter, 352- to- 448-footlong steel-lined draft tube tunnels of, 

that transition to concrete-lined tunnels 

of unknown length, downstream of the 

transformer cavern; (e) a 22-footdiameter, 7,610-foot-long concrete-lined 

tailrace tunnel that terminates at the 

inlet/outlet structure; and (f) an 

approximately 92.5-foot-wide intake/ 

outlet structure with trashracks, 

designed as a horizontal fan-shaped 

diffusor, that extends more than 100 feet 

from the tailrace tunnel and isolates the 

lower reservoir from the tailrace tunnel 

by a pair of 10.5-foot by 25-foot stoplogs 

in slots extending down from the 

intake/outlet structure; (4) a 367-footlong, 83-foot-wide, 191-foot-high 

underground powerhouse cavern 

containing three 333-megawatt Francis 

pump-turbines and three generatormotors; (5) a 300-foot-long, 62-footwide, 93-foot-high underground 

transformer cavern containing threephase step-up transformers connected to 

the powerhouse cavern by three busbar 

tunnels of unknown dimensions; (6) 

three 345-kilovolt underground circuits 

connecting from the unit transformers in 

the transformer cavern through a 4,950- 

foot-long, 24-foot-diameter, D-shaped 

cable tunnel to the new switchyard; (7) 

a 400-foot-long by 370-foot-wide fenced 

outdoor switchyard where the circuits 

would be combined into a single 345- 

kilovolt transmission line; (8) a 25-milelong, 345 kilovolt overhead 

transmission line that connects to the 

grid at the existing NV Energy Robinson 

Summit substation (the point of
