[Docket No. CP24-27-000]


Kern River Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Withdrawal of 
Staff Protest

    Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) staff 
hereby withdraws its February 26, 2024 protest of the prior notice 
request filed under the provisions of the Commission's regulations at 
Part 157, subpart F, by Kern River Gas Transmission Company (Kern 
River) on December 15, 2023, for its proposed construction and 
operation of the Lanes Crossing Meter Station (Project). Staff's 
protest noted that Kern River did not provide a copy of a finding by 
the California State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) of ``no 
historic properties'' or ``no historic properties effected.''
    On March 6, 2024, at the request of Kern River, the California SHPO 
filed a letter noting its consultation with Kern River regarding the 
Project, and that no historic properties were identified within the 
area of potential effect. The SHPO stated that it did ``not object to a 
finding of no historic properties affected.'' Therefore, the 
application now meets the standards outlined in Appendix II of subpart 
F of section 157 of the Commission's regulations. This issue was 
resolved within 30 days of the protest as required by section 
157.205(g) of the Commission's regulations. Based on the submission of 
the SHPO's findings for this Project, Commission staff withdraws its 
protest.

    Dated: March 7, 2024.
Debbie-Anne A. Reese,
Acting Secretary.
