DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP22-512-001]
WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Request for Extension of
Time
Take notice that on October 25, 2023, WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.
(WBI Energy) requested that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) grant an extension of time (2023 Extension of Time
Request), until June 1, 2024, to construct to construct and operate a
new compressor station, tie-in facilities including pipeline, and
associated measurement facilities on its Line Section 27 Expansion
Project (Project) to provide incremental natural gas firm
transportation service in McKenzie County, North Dakota authorized by
the Commission in Docket Nos. CP82-487-000, et al.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In its 2023 Extension of Time Request, WBI Energy states that it
will not complete all work associated with the project by the November
21, 2023, deadline. Accordingly, WBI Energy requests an extension of
time until June 1, 2024, to complete construction of project
facilities.
This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on WBI Energy'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) and the Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).
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 Commission will not consider arguments that re-
litigate the issuance of the certificate order, including whether the
Commission properly found the project to be in the public convenience
and necessity and whether the Commission's environmental analysis for
the certificate complied with the National Environmental Policy Act.\5\
At the time a pipeline requests an extension of time, orders on
certificates of public convenience and necessity are final and the
Commission will not re-litigate their issuance.\6\ 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) (2022).

\5\ Similarly, the Commission will not re-litigate the issuance
of an NGA section 3 authorization, including whether a proposed
project is not inconsistent with the public interest and whether the
Commission's environmental analysis for the permit order complied
with NEPA.
