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 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on December 10, 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withdrawn within 30 days after the 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filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 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 December 

10, 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

electronically by using the eComment feature,

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 December 10, 

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 December 

10, 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.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. PF24–6–000] 

Great Basin Gas Transmission 

Company; Notice of Scoping Period 

Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Planned 

Gabbs Lateral FNAS Relocation 

Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental document, that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the Gabbs Lateral FNAS Project (Project) 

involving construction and operation of 

facilities by Great Basin Gas 

Transmission Company (Great Basin) in 

Mineral and Nye Counties, Nevada. The 

Commission will use this environmental 

document in its decision-making 

process to determine whether the 

Project is in the public convenience and 

necessity. 

This notice announces the opening of 

the scoping process the Commission 

will use to gather input from the public 

and interested agencies regarding the 

Project. As part of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

review process, the Commission takes 

into account concerns the public may 

have about proposals and the 

environmental impacts that could result 

from its action whenever it considers 

the issuance of a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity. This 

gathering of public input is referred to 

as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the 

scoping process is to focus the analysis 

in the environmental document on the 

important environmental issues. 

Additional information about the 

Commission’s NEPA process is 

described below in the NEPA Process 

and Environmental Document section of 

this notice.
