5Similarly, 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. 

6Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC, 170 FERC 

¶ 61,144, at P 40 (2020). 

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,2 the 

Commission will aim to issue an order 

acting on the request within 45 days.3

The Commission will address all 

arguments relating to whether the 

applicant has demonstrated there is 

good cause to grant the extension.4 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.5 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 relitigate their issuance.6 The Director of 

the Office of Energy Projects, or his or 

her designee, will act on all of those 

extension requests that are uncontested.
