Pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission’s regulations under the NGA,1 any
person2 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within the time allowed or if a protest is filed and then withdrawn within 30 days after the

CFR 157.205(e)(2)4 will not be considered protests by the Commission.5 A protest may

intervenor.

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 Procedure6 and the
regulations under the NGA7 by the intervention deadline for the project, which is 5:00
pm Eastern Time on December 14, 2026. As described further in Rule 214, your
motion to intervene must state, to the extent known, your position regarding the

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 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.

to be taken. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please
submit your comments on or before 5:00 pm Eastern Time on December 14, 2026.

proceeding. To become a party, you must intervene in the proceeding.
