Commission 

[Docket No. CP25–45–000] 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC; 

Notice of Request Under Blanket 

Authorization and Establishing 

Intervention and Protest Deadline 

Take notice that on January 7, 2025, 

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC 

(Columbia), 700 Louisiana Street Suite 

1300, Houston, Texas 77002–2700, filed 

in the above referenced docket, a prior 

notice request pursuant to sections 18 

CFR 157.205 and 157.216 of the 

Commission’s regulations under the 

Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Columbia’s 

blanket certificate issued in Docket No. 

CP83–76–000, for authorization to plug 

and abandon one injection/withdrawal 

well and to abandon connecting 

pipeline and appurtenant facilities 

(Victory A Well 4289 Abandonment 

Project), all located in at the Victory A 

Storage Field in Wetzel County, West 

Virginia. The Victory A Well 4289 

Abandonment Project is necessary to 

comply with the Pipeline and 

Hazardous Materials Safety 

Administration’s (PHMSA) Storage 

Final Rule, which requires operators to 

assess and minimize well integrity risks. 

Well 4289, and the associated facilities 

are no longer necessary due to their low 

performance and inability to contribute 

significantly to the total deliverability of 

the Victory A Storage Field. 

Abandoning these facilities will 

eliminate routine maintenance 

requirements and the associated costs. 

The estimated cost of the project is 

approximately $862,500, all as more 

fully set forth in the request which is on 

file with the Commission and open to 

public inspection.

regulations,3 and must be submitted by 

the protest deadline, which is March 17, 

2025. 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 March 17, 2025. 

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 March 17, 

2025. 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.
