4Similarly, 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.

1 In accordance with the Council on 

Environmental Quality’s regulations, the unique 

identification number for documents relating to this 

environmental review is EAXX–019–20–000– 

1726749058. 40 CFR 1501.5(c)(4) (2024). 

October 25, 2024. However, to provide 

a reasonable cushion in the event of 

continued delays, Midwestern is 

requesting a 4-month extension of time. 

This notice establishes a 15-calendar 

day intervention and comment period 

deadline. Any person wishing to 

comment on Midwestern’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 Natural 

Gas Act (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,1 the 

Commission will aim to issue an order 

acting on the request within 45 days.2

The Commission will address all 

arguments relating to whether the 

applicant has demonstrated there is 

good cause to grant the extension.3 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).4 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.5 The 

Director of the Office of Energy Projects, 

or his or her designee, will act on all of 

those extension requests that are 

uncontested.

[Project No. 2601–077] 

Northbrook Hydro Carolina II, LLC; 

Notice of Intent To Prepare an 

Environmental Assessment 

On November 16, 2023, as 

supplemented on March 11, 2024, and 

April 30, 2024, Northbrook Hydro 

Carolina II, LLC filed an application to 

surrender the project license for the 

Bryson Hydroelectric Project No. 2601. 

The project is located on the 

Oconaluftee River in Swain County, 

North Carolina. The project does not 

occupy any Federal lands. 

The project is located on the 

Oconaluftee River downstream of the 

Great Smoky Mountain National Park 

and the lands of the Eastern Band of 

Cherokee Indians (Qualla Boundary). 

The project boundary abuts the Qualla 

Boundary for 1.5 miles. The proposed 

mode of surrender would include 

disconnection from the utility 

interconnection point and the removal 

of the generators and turbines. The 

licensee would offer the generators, 

control equipment, and wiring for sale 

following decommissioning, or would 

properly dispose of the equipment. The 

proposal includes leaving the dam and 

associated structures intact and 

operational. The licensee intends to 

later deed ownership of the project to 

Mainspring Conservation Land Trust for 

potential future removal of the dam after 

the surrender is final. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

project.1 The planned schedule for the 

completion of the EA is January 31, 

2025. Revisions to the schedule may be 

made as appropriate. The EA will be 

issued and made available for review by 

all interested parties and a 30-day 

public comment period. All comments 

filed on the EA will be reviewed by staff 

and considered in the Commission’s 

final decision on the proceeding.

Enhancements To eComment 

Take notice that effective September 

25, 2024, the Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission’s (Commission) electronic 

application for filing comments, called 

eComment, will include improved 

functionalities. The main improvement 

is that eComment will accept comments 

in the additional Docket Types: AD, RM, 

and PL, which the Commission uses for 

policy type proceedings of general 

applicability such as rulemakings. Other 

system enhancements include extending 

the 30-minute session time out to 60 

minutes; supporting comments of up-to 

10,000 characters; and removing certain 

special character restrictions from 

eComment that in the past prevented 

the submission of comments. 

These system enhancements were 

developed in response to public 

comments filed in Docket No. AD21–9 

for the establishment of the Office of 

Public Participation regarding 

streamlining the steps for individuals to 

participate in rulemakings. 

The enhancements to eComment do 

not change or affect eFiling. eFiling will 

continue to accept comments for all the 

Docket Types it currently supports.

eComment and FERC online, please
