Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP21-477-000]
Enable Gas Transmission, LLC; Notice of Request Under Blanket
Authorization and Establishing Intervention and Protest Deadline
Take notice that on July 22, 2021, Enable Gas Transmission, LLC
(Enable), 910 Louisiana Street, Ste. 48040, Houston, Texas 77002, filed
in the above referenced docket a prior notice pursuant to sections
157.205, 157.208, and 157.211 of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Enable's
blanket certificate issued in Docket Nos. CP82-384-000 and CP82-384-
001, for authorization to construct: (i) The 2.6-mile-long, 8-inch-
diameter JM-44 pipeline from Enable's existing Line J to a new meter
station; (ii) the Nucor Meter Station; (iii) the 0.6-mile-long, 8-inch-
diameter JM-44A pipeline; and (iv) aboveground auxiliary facilities at
the tie-in locations on Enable's existing Line J and Line JM-40 all
located in Mississippi County, Arkansas (Nucor Pipeline Project). The
project will allow Enable to transport 5,000 dekatherms per day of firm
transportation capacity to Nucor Corporation's Cold Steel Mill (Nucor).
Enable states that the project is being proposed because they claim
that the local distribution company that currently delivers Nucor's
natural gas cannot meet Nucor's additional volumes requirements. The
estimated cost for the project is $3,798,095, all as more fully set
forth in the request which is on file with the Commission and open to
public inspection.

Public Participation
There are three ways to become involved in the Commission's review
of this project: You can file a protest to the project, you can file a
motion to intervene in the proceeding, and you can file comments on the
project. There is no fee or cost for filing protests, motions to
intervene, or comments. The deadline for filing protests, motions to
intervene, and comments is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 28,
2021. How to file protests, motions to intervene, and comments is
explained below.
Protests
Pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's regulations under
the NGA,\1\ any person \2\ or the Commission's staff may file a protest
to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed or if a
protest is filed and then withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed
time for filing a protest, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be
authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a
protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the time
allowed for filing a protest, the instant request for authorization
will be considered by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 18 CFR 157.205.
\2\ Persons include individuals, organizations, businesses,
municipalities, and other entities. 18 CFR 385.102(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Protests must comply with the requirements specified in section
157.205(e) of the Commission's regulations,\3\ and must be submitted by
the protest deadline, which is September 28, 2021. A protest may also
serve as a motion to intervene so long as the protestor states it also
seeks to be an intervenor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ 18 CFR 157.205(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interventions
Any person 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.
To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \4\ and the regulations under the NGA \5\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is September 28, 2021. As
described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must state, to
the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as
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
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at <a href="https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp">https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp</a>.

\4\ 18 CFR 385.214.
\5\ 18 CFR 157.10.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
All timely, unopposed motions to intervene are automatically
granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1). 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. A
