60-Day Window to Protest or Intervene
You have 60 days from the issuance date of this notice (issued March 14, 2025) to file a protest or a motion to intervene in FERC Docket No. P-6398-026. Only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with FERC rules may become a party to the proceeding; protests alone do not make you a party.
Public Comment and Scoping Schedule
The Commission set a procedural schedule: Scoping Document 1 will be issued for comment in April 2025, comments on Scoping Document 1 are due in May 2025, Scoping Document 2 (if needed) may be issued in July 2025, and a Notice of Ready for Environmental Analysis is expected in August 2025. If you want to comment on environmental issues, you can use these dates to know when to submit input.
