DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP18–6–002] 

RH energytrans, LLC; Notice of 

Request for Extension of Time 

Take notice that on November 13, 

2024, RH energytrans, LLC (RH) 

requested that the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (Commission) 

grant a third extension of time, until 

December 7, 2026, to complete 

construction of, and place into service, 

its Meadville and County Line 

compressor stations in Crawford and 

Erie Counties, Pennsylvania. The 

Commission previously issued letter 

orders granting extensions of time until 

and including December 7, 2022 1 and 

December 7, 2024.2 The Order Issuing 

Certificate (Certificate Order) 3 required 

RH to complete the construction of the 

proposed Risberg Line Project facilities 4

and make them available for service 

within two years from issuance, or by 

December 7, 2020.5

In RH’s previous requests for 

extensions of time RH stated that it had 

experienced construction delays due to 

winter weather, the dissolution of one of 

its pipeline contractors, and delays 

resulting from COVID–19 pandemic 

restrictions. RH states that it has 

continued to experience similar 

conditions and that commercial activity 

has only slowly been returning in the 

areas served by the Risberg Line. RH 

explains that in recent months, it has 

encountered an increase in interest from 

potential shippers developing data 

centers near the Risberg Line, and has 

concluded that the additional capacity 

they would need to require the 

compression provided by the Meadville 

and Countyline compressor stations. As 

a result, RH now requests an additional 

two years, or until December 7, 2026, to 

complete the authorized construction at 

the Meadville and County Line 

compressor stations and make them 

available for service.6

This notice establishes a 15-calendar 

day intervention and comment period 

deadline. Any person wishing to 

comment on RH’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,7 the 

Commission will aim to issue an order 

acting on the request within 45 days.8

The Commission will address all 

arguments relating to whether the 

applicant has demonstrated there is 

good cause to grant the extension.9 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).10 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.11 The 

Director of the Office of Energy Projects, 

or his or her designee, will act on all of 

those extension requests that are 

uncontested.
