North Dakota Certificate of Site Compatibility (8-ND-a)
In North Dakota, a transmission developer must obtain a Certificate of Site or Corridor Compatibility (“Certificate”) from the North Dakota Public Service Commission (“NDPSC”) prior to constructing or operating electric transmission lines that carry voltages in excess of 115kVs and extends one or more miles in length. NDPSC issues Certificates to transmission developers pursuant to N.D. Century Code § 49-22. A developer will also need to obtain a Route Permit from NDPSC in order to construct or operate such transmission lines. The Route Permit and Certificate have similar processes, and can be applied for and obtained at the same time.
Certificate of Site Compatibility Process
After conducting the hearing, if necessary, NDPSC makes a waiver determination. NDPSC grants the waiver if it finds that either, there is an existing emergency, or if the proposed facility will have minimal adverse effect. If a waiver is granted, NDPSC may issue a Certificate with any conditions as NDPSC may require. N.D.C.C. § 49-22-07.2. The order issued also contains findings that support NDPSC’s decision. If the request is granted, the order also specifically describes the procedures and time schedules that are waived. N.D.A.C. § 69-06-06-02.
If no waiver is requested, or the waiver request is denied, the developer should submit a Certificate Application (“Application”) with NDPSC. The developer must file the original Application along with ten copies of the Application to NDPSC. The Application must be submitted in a 8½” by 11” size. With NDPSC approval, the developer may submit the Application as a media document such as a CD or DVD. N.D.A.C. § 69-06-04-01. The Application must include the following information:
Any party aggrieved by the issuance of a Certificate from NDPSC may request a rehearing by NDPSC. The request must be filed within thirty (30) days of the decision, and hearing is conducted pursuant to N.D.C.C. § 28-32. Any entity adversely affected by a NDPSC ruling has a right to appeal to the district court. N.D.C.C. § 49-22-19.
8-ND-a.19 – Initiate Route Permit Process
Within two (2) years after receiving a Certificate from NDPSC, the developer must file and Application for a Route Permit. For more information see:
