Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Docket No. CP2028000

Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC;
Notice of Request for Extension of Time Take notice that on February 3, 2021, Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC
Columbia requested that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Commission grant an extension of time, until October 31, 2021, to complete construction of the Line SM
116 Forced Relocation Project Project and make the Project available for service, as the Prior Notice authorized on February 25, 2020.1 The Commissions regulations establish that the Project be completed within one year of the date the Project was authorized.
The Project consists of the relocation and/or abandonment of segments of Columbias existing Line SM116 due to highwall and area surface mining to be performed by Central Appalachian Mining on their Millseat Surface Mine.
The relocation and/or abandonment activities will take place in Mingo County, West Virginia. Columbia stated in the Prior Notice application that the new Project infrastructure will have an equivalent designed delivery capacity as the facilities being abandoned and will not result in a reduction or abandonment of service.
In its Extension of Time request, Columbia stated that the contractor will not be able to meet the original inservice date because the Project has experienced significant delays due to rainfall on the site which delayed construction and created safety concerns for the personnel in traversing the construction work area safely.
Additionally, the construction schedule was negatively impacted by the COVID
19 pandemic.
This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on the extension motion 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 Commissions Rules of Practice and Procedure 18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211

and the Regulations under the Natural Gas Act 18 CFR 157.10.2
As a matter of practice, the Commission itself generally acts on requests for extensions of time to complete construction for NGA facilities when such requests are contested before order issuance. For those extension requests that are contested,3 the Commission acting as a whole will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45 days.4 The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the extension.5 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 or necessity and whether the Commissions environmental analysis for the certificate complied with the National Environmental Policy Act.6 At the time a pipeline requests an extension of time, orders on certificates of public convenience and/or necessity are final and the Commission will not re-litigate their issuance. The OEP Director, or his or her designee, will act on all those extension requests that are uncontested.
In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this document via the internet through the Commissions Home Page http
