        Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
    Procedure,\1\ within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will
    either: complete its environmental review and place it into the
    Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
    Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
    for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
    milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
    the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or environmental
    assessment (EA) for this proposal. The filing of an EA in the
    Commission's public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a
    Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify
    federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all
    necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal
    authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission
    staff's FEIS or EA.

    Public Participation

        There are three ways to become involved in the Commission's review
    of this project: you can file comments on the project, you can protest
    the filing, and you can file a motion to intervene in the proceeding.
    There is no fee or cost for filing comments or intervening. The
    deadline for filing a motion to intervene is 5 p.m. eastern time on May
    19, 2025. How to file protests, motions to intervene, and comments is
    explained below.
        The Commission's Office of Public Participation (OPP) supports
    meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission
    proceedings. OPP can help members of the public, including landowners,
    community organizations, Tribal members and others, access publicly
    available information and navigate Commission processes. For public
    inquiries and assistance with making filings such as interventions,
    comments, or requests for rehearing, the public is encouraged to
    contact OPP at (202) 502-6595 or OPP@ferc.gov.

    Comments

        Any person wishing to comment on the project may do so. Comments
    may include statements of support or objections, to the project as a
    whole or specific aspects of the project. The more specific your
    comments, the more useful they will be.

    Protests

        Pursuant to sections 157.10(a)(4) \2\ and 385.211 \3\ of the
    Commission's regulations under the NGA, any person \4\ may file a
    protest to the application. Protests must comply with the requirements
    specified in section 385.2001 \5\ of the Commission's regulations. A
    protest may also serve as a motion to intervene so long as the
    protestor states it also seeks to be an intervenor.

        To ensure that your comments or protests are timely and properly
    recorded, please submit your comments on or before May 19, 2025.
        There are three methods you can use to submit your comments or
    protests to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the
    Project docket number CP25-219-000 in your submission.
        (1) You may file your comments electronically by using the eComment
    feature, which is located on the Commission's website at www.ferc.gov
    under the link to Documents and Filings. Using eComment is an easy
    method for interested persons to submit brief, text-only comments on a
    project;
        (2) You may file your comments or protests electronically by using
    the eFiling feature, which is located on the Commission's website
    (www.ferc.gov) under the link to Documents and Filings. With eFiling,
    you can provide comments in a variety of formats by attaching them as a
    file with your submission. New eFiling users must first create an
    account by clicking on ``eRegister.'' You will be asked to select the
    type of filing you are making; first select ``General'' and then select
    ``Comment on a Filing''; or
        (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments or protests by
    mailing them to the following address below. Your written comments must
    reference the Project docket number (CP25-219-000).
        To file via USPS: Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Secretary, Federal Energy
    Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426.

        Persons who comment on the environmental review of this project

    receive notification when the environmental documents (EA or EIS) are
    issued for this project and will be notified of meetings associated
    with the Commission's environmental review process.
        The Commission considers all comments received about the project in
    determining the appropriate action to be taken. However, 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.
    For instructions on how to intervene, see below.

    Interventions

        Any person, which includes individuals, organizations, businesses,
    municipalities, and other entities,\6\ 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.

    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

    Service can be via email with a link to the document.
        All timely, unopposed \9\ motions to intervene are automatically
    granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1).\10\ 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.\11\ 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.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

        \9\ The applicant has 15 days from the submittal of a motion to
    intervene to file a written objection to the intervention.
