PennEast states that the proposed changes to the Project route
address agency and landowner requests, and reduce environmental and
landowner impacts. The proposed modifications include realignments and
an adjustment in Luzerne, Carbon, Monroe, and Northampton Counties, in
Pennsylvania. Among other route changes, PennEast proposes a
realignment of the project route to implement an alternate crossing of
the Appalachian Trail to be collocated with an existing easement. The
other modifications include two (2) minor route realignments and one
(1) workspace adjustment. Except for the realignment of the Appalachian
Trail crossing, PennEast states that all other realignments and
adjustment are within 0.25 mile of the existing Project route approved
in the January 19 Order.

There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this Project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceeding for this project should file with
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE,
Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in accordance with the
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18
CFR 385.214, 385.211 (2016), by the comment date below. A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission, and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit filings made with the Commission by mail, hand delivery, or
internet, in accordance with Rule 2001 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure, id. 385.2001. A copy must be served on every
other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask
for court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to intervene to have comments
considered. The second way to participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and two
copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. The
Commission will consider these comments in determining the appropriate
action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will not serve to
make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's rules
require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
Protests and interventions may be filed electronically via the
internet in lieu of paper; see 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the
instructions on the Commission's website under the ``e-filing'' link.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any new Natural Gas Act
section 3 or section 7 proceeding.\2\ Persons desiring to become a
party to a certificate proceeding are to intervene in a timely manner.
If seeking to intervene out-of-time, the movant is required to ``show
good cause why the time limitation should be waived,'' and should
provide justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule
214(d)(1) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.\3\

If the Commission decides to set the application for a formal
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the Commission will issue
another notice describing that process. At the end of the Commission's
review process, a final Commission order approving or denying the
requested authorizations will be issued.
