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.

Projects are in the public convenience 

and necessity. The schedule for 

preparation of the EIS is discussed in 

the ‘‘Schedule for Environmental 

Review’’ section of this notice. 

The National Environmental Policy Act 

Process 

The production of the EIS is part of

process. Commission staff will 

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/
