Notice of Modified Request for Extension of Time

    Take notice that on July 10, 2020, Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC 
(Atlantic) and Dominion Energy Transmission, Inc. (DETI) (collectively, 
applicants), filed a ``Modification of Request for Extension of Time'' 
(Amended Request). Applicants originally filed a June 16, 2020 
``Request for Extension of Time'', requesting that the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission (Commission) grant a two-year extension of time, 
until October 13, 2022, to construct and place into service the 
facilities that comprise Atlantic's Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) and 
DETI's Supply Header Project (SHP) as described in the original 
certificate authorization issued on October 13, 2017 (Certificate 
Order).\1\ The Certificate Order required Atlantic and DETI to 
construct and place the facilities in service by October 13, 2020.\2\

    DETI explains that on July 5, 2020, DETI and Duke Energy announced 
the cancellation of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. DETI avers that it 
will not be placing the ACP in service and that it has initiated 
planning the abandonment and restoration of ACP project areas. DETI 
further stated that because ACP will not be placed in-service, it no 
longer requests an extension of the Order condition related to making 
its facilities available for service. However, DETI requests, to the 
extent its necessary, a one-year extension of time, until October 13, 
2021, to complete any construction activities that may be required to 
complete the abandonment and restoration of the ACP project areas.
    Additionally, DETI states that approximately 31 percent of the SHP 
mainline has been installed, and substantial work has occurred at three 
of the four existing compressor stations. DETI states that it is 
exploring options to utilize certain SHP facilities in conjunction with 
its existing system. Accordingly, DETI requests a two-year extension of 
time, until October 13, 2022 to complete construction of certain SHP 
facilities.
    This notice establishes a 15-calendar day comment period deadline. 
Any person wishing to comment on Atlantic's and DETI's modified request 
for an extension of time may do so. No reply comments or answers will 
be considered.
