Take notice that on July 22, 2021, National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation National Fuel requested that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Commission grant an extension of time, until December 31, 2024, to complete the Wharton WH23 Storage Well Abandonment Project Project, as authorized after the 60-day deadline of National Fuels prior notice issued by the Commission on May 25, 2017. By that process, National Fuel was initially required to abandon the facilities in one year, by July 24, 2018.
On July 27, 2018, the Office of Energy Projects, by delegated order, extended the deadline through July 24, 2019. On July 12, 2019, the Office of Energy Projects, by delegated order, extended the deadline through July 24, 2020. The Commission granted this extension request on October 21, 2020.1 National Fuel now requests an extension of this deadline, through December 31, 2024.
National Fuel states that it needs to replug Well WH23 and monitor the well to ensure that well has been plugged successfully.
This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on National Fuels request for an extension of time may do so. No reply comments or answers will be considered.

As a matter of practice, the Commission itself generally acts on requests for extensions of time to complete construction for Natural Gas Act facilities when such requests are contested before order issuance. For those extension requests that are contested,3 the Commission 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 and 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 necessity are final and the Commission will not re-litigate their issuance.7 The OEP Director, or his or her designee, will act on all of those extension requests that are uncontested.
