Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP18–103–000] 

Rockies Express Pipeline LLC; Notice 

of Extension of Time Request 

Take notice that on June 23, 2021, 

Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (Rockies 

Express) requested that the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission) grant an extension of 

time, until September 20, 2023, to 

complete the construction of six new 

5,350 horsepower (hp) natural gas 

reciprocating compressor units (32,100 

hp total) at its existing Cheyenne 

Compressor Station (Cheyenne Hub 

Enhancement Project) in Weld County, 

Colorado, as authorized as part of the 

Cheyenne Hub Enhancement Project in 

the September 20, 2019 Order Issuing 

Certificates 1 (September 20 Order). The 

September 20 Order required Rockies 

Express to complete construction and 

make the facilities available for service 

within two years of the Order date. 

Rockies Express has since completed 

construction of four of the six 

authorized compressor units, placing 

units 1–3 into service on July 26, 2020,2

and unit 4 into service on December 17, 

2020.3 Compressor units 5 and 6 remain 

unconstructed. 

Rockies Express states it has been 

delayed in reaching full 

commercialization for compressor units 

5 and 6, with the economic slowdown 

and fallout from the COVID–19 

pandemic. The final two compressor 

units that have not yet been constructed 

will be installed at the existing 

Cheyenne Compressor Station on land 

already owned by Rockies Express 

under the terms and conditions of the 

existing certificate. Rockies Express 

states that the extension of time will not 

result in any environmental impacts not 

already examined on the record in the 

certificate proceeding and will provide 

Rockies Express with the time necessary 

to install these remaining two units. 

This notice establishes a 15-calendar 

day intervention and comment period 

deadline. Any person wishing to 

comment on Rockies Express’ 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 (18 CFR 157.10).4

As a matter of practice, the 

Commission itself generally acts on 

requests for extensions of time to 

complete construction for Natural Gas 

Act facilities when such requests are 

contested before order issuance.5 For 

those extension requests that are 

contested, the Commission will aim to 

issue an order acting on the request 

within 45 days.6 The Commission will 

address all arguments relating to 

whether the applicant has demonstrated 

there is good cause to grant the 

extension.7 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.8 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.9 The OEP Director, or his or 

her designee, will act on all of those 

extension requests that are uncontested.

and necessity. The schedule for 

preparation of the EIS is discussed in 

the ‘‘Schedule for Environmental

independently analyze the proposed 

Project and prepare a draft EIS, which 

will be issued for public comment.

timely comments received during the 

comment period on the draft EIS and 

revise the document, as necessary, 

before issuing a final EIS. Any draft and 

final EIS will be available in electronic 

format in the public record through 

eLibrary 2 and the Commission’s natural 

gas environmental documents web page 

(https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/
