Public Participation 

There are three ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project: You can file a protest to the 

project, you can file a motion to 

intervene in the proceeding, and you 

can file comments on the project. There 

is no fee or cost for filing protests, 

motions to intervene, or comments. The 

deadline for filing protests, motions to 

intervene, and comments is 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on November 2, 2021. 

How to file protests, motions to 

intervene, and comments is explained 

below. 

Protests 

Pursuant to section 157.205 of the 

Commission’s regulations under the 

NGA,2 any person 3 or the Commission’s 

staff may file a protest to the request. If 

no protest is filed within the time 

allowed or if a protest is filed and then 

withdrawn within 30 days after the 

allowed time for filing a protest, the 

proposed activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for protest. If a protest is 

filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 

after the time allowed for filing a 

protest, the instant request for 

authorization will be considered by the 

Commission. 

Protests must comply with the 

requirements specified in section 

157.205(e) of the Commission’s 

regulations,4 and must be submitted by 

the protest deadline, which is November 

2, 2021. 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 5 and the regulations under 

the NGA 6 by the intervention deadline 

for the project, which is November 2, 

2021. 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 November 

2, 2021. 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. 

How To File Protests, Interventions, and 

Comments 

There are two ways to submit 

protests, motions to intervene, and 

comments. In both instances, please

Carolinas Clean Energy Business 

Association v. PJM Interconnection, 

L.L.C. and Duke Energy Progress, LLC; 

Notice of Withdrawal 

September 3, 2021. 

On August 25, 2021, pursuant to Rule 

216 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure,1 the Carolinas 

Clean Energy Business Association 

(CCEBA) filed a motion to withdraw its 

complaint against PJM Interconnection, 

L.L.C. (PJM) and Duke Energy Progress, 

LLC (DEP), requesting expedited 

treatment of the motion to withdraw. On 

August 31, 2021, the Commission issued 

a notice shortening the comment period 

on the motion to withdraw to September 

2, 2021. 

CCEBA states that PJM and DEP have 

committed to work with CCEBA to 

consider the issues raised in the 

complaint through settlement and to file 

any resulting amendments to PJM and 

DEP’s joint operating agreement with 

the Commission under section 205 of 

the Federal Power Act no later than 

mid-December 2021.2 CCEBA further 

states that such settlement will most 

expeditiously resolve the issues 

identified in the complaint, making 

withdrawal preferable. CCEBA asserts 

that its withdrawal is without prejudice 

to CCEBA’s right to re-file the 

complaint. CCEBA also states that PJM 

and DEP have authorized CCEBA to 

state that they do not oppose 

withdrawal of the complaint. 

Upon consideration, notice is hereby 

given that CCEBA’s requested motion to 

withdraw is granted, effective as of the 

date of this notice.
