DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP20-513-000]
WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Request for Extension of
Time
Take notice that on October 19, 2021, WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.
(WBI) requested that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) grant an extension of time, until November 1, 2022, to
complete the 2020 Baker Storage Well Abandonment Project (Project), as
authorized after the 60-day deadline of WBI's prior notice issued by
the Commission on September 3, 2020. By that process, WBI was initially
required to abandon the facilities in one year, by November 2, 2021.
WBI states that on October 12, 2021, the Project area received a
measurable amount of rain and snow delaying the removal of the
remaining 17 drip lines over concerns of excessive rutting along the
right-of-way and within the approved workspace areas. WBI is requesting
an extension of time due to the uncertainty in the workplace conditions
over the next few weeks, that may prevent WBI from completing
abandonment activities ahead of the original deadline.
This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on WBI's request for an
extension of time may do so. No reply comments or answers will be
considered. If you wish to obtain legal status by becoming a party to
the proceedings for this request, you should, on or before the comment
date stated below, file a motion to intervene in accordance with the
requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18
CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
[[Page 60228]]
and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Only motions to intervene from entities that were party to
the underlying proceeding will be accepted. Algonquin Gas
Transmission, LLC, 170 FERC ] 61,144, at P 39 (2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a matter of practice, the Commission itself generally acts on
requests for extensions of time to complete construction for Natural
Gas Act facilities when such requests are contested before order
issuance. For those extension requests that are contested,\2\ the
Commission will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45
days.\3\ The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether
the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the
extension.\4\ The OEP Director, or his or her designee, will act on all
of those extension requests that are uncontested.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Contested proceedings are those where an intervenor disputes
any material issue of the filing. 18 CFR 385.2201(c)(1) (2019).
