Intervenors gain the right to request rehearing of Commission orders and to challenge orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal; filing comments alone does not grant party status.
Section 401 Water Quality Certification Required

Gulf South must submit to the Commission a copy of the request for certification and either the certifying agency's decision or evidence of waiver when available.
