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

To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the Commission in

and the regulations under the NGA7 by the intervention deadline for the project,

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
