SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of PRA, EPA specifically solicits
comments and information to enable it to:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns.
    6. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.

    8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page

813312).
    Title: Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program Annual Measures
Reporting.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2415.01, OMB Control No. 2070-new.
    ICR status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after appearing
in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are
displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or
form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: This new information collection request provides EPA with
program information on membership application and stewardship strategy
development, as well as annual reporting activities which allow the
Agency to assess performance measures information, for use by the
Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP). Implemented through
the Office of Pesticide Programs, PESP is an EPA voluntary program that
forms partnerships with the pesticide user community in order to
promote the reduction of risks from pests and pesticides through use of
integrated pest management (IPM). IPM is an approach that involves
making best choices from among a series of pest management practices,
and allows for managing pests economically, with the least possible
hazard to people, property, and the environment. By fostering IPM, PESP
provides a non-regulatory approach that assists the Agency in meeting
the goals of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA), the Pollution Prevention Act, and Food Quality Protection Act
(FQPA) by reducing pesticide use and risks in agricultural and non-
agricultural settings.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average in a
range from 37 to 112 hours per response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a
Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information,
processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing
information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 219.
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
One.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 19,298 hours.
    Estimated total annual burden costs: $1,345,686. No capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs are projected for this
collection.

IV. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another
Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce
the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or
the approval process, please contact the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP20-507-000]

Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC; Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review of the VR-22 to Shore Abandonment Project

    On August 6, 2020, Transcontinental Gas Pipe Line Company, LLC
(Transco) filed an application in Docket No. CP20-507-000 requesting
authorization pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act to
abandon certain natural gas pipeline facilities. The proposed project
is known as the VR-22 to Shore Abandonment Project (Project) and
consists of abandoning approximately 12.6 miles of 24-inch-diameter
pipeline in Vermilion Parish, Louisiana, and in offshore waters of
Louisiana State and Federal offshore waters.
    On August 17, 2020, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project.
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice
identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the completion of the
EA for the Project.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of EA February 18, 2021
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline May 19, 2021

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.

Project Description

    Transco proposes to abandon approximately 12.6 miles of 24-inch-
diameter natural gas transmission pipeline in Vermilion Parish,
Louisiana, and in offshore waters of Louisiana State and Federal
offshore waters. Of the 12.6 miles, Transco proposes to abandon
approximately 9.9 miles in place, and abandon about 2.7 miles of
pipeline by removal. Additionally, Transco would remove equipment
associated with meter station 2278 and meter station 4640, located on
the Vermilion Block 39 Platform and the VR-22 B Platform offshore,
respectively. According to Transco, the facilities proposed for
abandonment have not been utilized since 2019 and it does not
anticipate that any additional gas flow through these facilities will
occur in the future.

Background

    On August 26, 2020, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed VR-22 to Shore
Abandonment Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues
(NOI). The NOI was sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and
local government agencies; elected officials; environmental and public
interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested parties; and
local libraries and newspapers. We received no comments on the NOI.

Additional Information

    In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EA and to
keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets,
the Commission offers a free service called eSubscription. This can
reduce the amount of time you spend researching proceedings by
automatically providing you with notification of these filings,
document summaries, and direct links to the documents. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview to register for eSubscription.
    Additional information about the Project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs

at (866) 208-FERC or on the FERC website (www.ferc.gov). Using the
eLibrary link, select General Search from the eLibrary menu, enter the
selected date range and Docket Number excluding the last three digits
(i.e., CP20-507), and follow the instructions. For assistance with
access to eLibrary, the helpline can be reached at<PHONE_NUMBER>, TTY

    Absent a request to be heard in opposition to such blanket
approvals by the deadline above, Allegheny is authorized to issue
securities and assume obligations or liabilities as a guarantor,
indorser, surety, or otherwise in respect of any security of another
person; provided that such issuance or assumption is for some lawful
object within the corporate purposes of Allegheny, compatible with the
public interest, and is reasonably necessary or appropriate for such
purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by
continued approvals of Allegheny's issuance of securities or
assumptions of liability.

Transportation (DOT) ordered Midla to shut in the failed pipeline
segment and to take certain corrective action. Midla further states
that it took all DOT-required corrective action, except for
hydrostatically testing the line. None of Midla's existing customers
would lose natural gas service following abandonment, because Midla has
and will continue to provide service via its parallel Loop line.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to

Specialist, Enbridge Pipelines (Midla) L.L.C., 1100 Louisiana, Suite

    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888

First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to intervene in
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the
NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party status will be placed on
the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will
receive copies of all documents filed by the applicant and by all other
parties. A party must submit 14 copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other
party in the proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for
court review of Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Comments, protests and interventions may be filed electronically
via the Internet in lieu of paper. See, 18 CFR 385.2001(a) (1) (iii)
and the instructions on the Commission's web site under the ``e-
Filing'' link.
    Comment Date: March 9, 2006.

[Docket No. FDA-2020-N-2267]

Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; Withdrawal of Approval of a New Drug
Application for OPANA (Oxymorphone Hydrochloride) Extended-Release
Tablets

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is withdrawing approval
of the new drug application (NDA) for OPANA (oxymorphone hydrochloride)
extended-release (ER) tablets (NDA 201655), held by Endo
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 1400 Atwater Dr., Malvern, PA 19355 (Endo). Endo
requested that the approval of this application be withdrawn and has
waived its opportunity for a hearing.

DATES: Withdrawal of approval is applicable December 23, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kimberly Lehrfeld, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 6226, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-3137.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 22, 2006, FDA approved NDA 021610
for OPANA ER (oxymorphone hydrochloride). On December 9, 2011, FDA
approved a new formulation of OPANA ER (oxymorphone hydrochloride)
tablets, 5 milligrams (mg), 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, 20 mg, 30 mg, and 40
mg, under NDA 201655 (``reformulated OPANA ER'') for the management of
pain severe enough to require daily, around-the-clock, long-term opioid
treatment and for which alternative treatment options are inadequate.
Over the course of 2011 and 2012, Endo removed the original formulation
from the market.
    Reformulated OPANA ER was intended by the sponsor to be resistant
to physical and chemical manipulation for abuse by snorting or
injecting. Although the reformulated product met the regulatory
standards for approval, FDA determined that the data did not show that
product could be expected to

meaningfully reduce abuse and declined the company's request to include
labeling describing potentially abuse-deterrent properties for OPANA
ER.
    Based on postmarketing data, FDA later observed that there was a
significant shift in the route of abuse from nasal to injection
following the product's reformulation. Injection abuse of reformulated
OPANA ER has been associated with a serious outbreak of HIV and
hepatitis C, as well as cases of a serious blood disorder (thrombotic
microangiopathy). On June 8, 2017, FDA requested that Endo remove
reformulated OPANA ER from the market based on its concern that the
benefits of the drug may no longer outweigh its risks due to the public
health consequences of abuse (see https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-requests-removal-opana-er-risks-related-abuse).
On July 6, 2017, Endo announced it would voluntarily remove
reformulated OPANA ER from the market.
    On October 3, 2017, Endo requested withdrawal of NDA 201655 for
reformulated OPANA ER under Sec.  314.150(d) (21 CFR 314.150(d)) and
waived its opportunity for a hearing. For the reasons discussed above,
and pursuant to the applicant's request, approval of NDA 201655 for
reformulated OPANA ER (oxymorphone hydrochloride) extended-release
tablets, and all amendments and supplements thereto, is withdrawn under
Sec.  314.150(d). Distribution of reformulated OPANA ER into interstate
commerce without an approved application is illegal and subject to
regulatory action (see sections 505(a) and 301(d) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(a) and 331(d)).

    Basis and Purpose: Under 33 CFR 127.007(a), an owner or operator
planning new construction to expand or modify marine terminal
operations in an existing facility handling Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
OR Liquefied Hazardous Gas (LHG), where the construction, expansion, or
modification would result in an increase in the size and/or frequency
of LNG or LHG marine traffic on the waterway associated with the
facility, must submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) to the COTP of the zone
in which the facility is located. Under 33 CFR 127.007(e), an owner or
operator planning such an expansion must also file or update a Waterway
Suitability Assessment (WSA) that addresses the proposed increase in
LNG or LHG marine traffic in the associated waterway. Martin Operating
Partnership's Stanolind Cut Terminal in Beaumont, Texas submitted an
LOI on January 25, 2013, and a WSA on January 25, 2013, regarding the
company's proposed expansion of its LHG facility in Beaumont, Texas.
    Under 33 CFR 127.009, after receiving an LOI, the COTP issues a
Letter of Recommendation (LOR) as to the suitability of the waterway
for LNG or LHG marine traffic to the appropriate jurisdictional
authorities. The LOR is based on a series of factors outlined in 33 CFR
127.009 that related to the physical nature of the affected waterway
and issues of safety and security associated with LNG or LHG marine
traffic on the affected waterway.
    The purpose of this notice is to solicit public comments on the
proposed increase in LHG marine traffic in Beaumont, Texas. The Coast
Guard believes that input from the public may be useful to the COTP
with respect to development of the LOR. Additionally, the Coast Guard
tasked the Area Maritime Security Committee, Port Arthur, Texas and the
Southeast Texas Waterways Advisor Committee (SETWAC) with forming a
subcommittee comprised of affected port users and stakeholders. The
goal of these subcommittees will be to gather information to help the
COTP assess the suitability of the associated waterway for increased
LHG marine traffic as it relates to navigational safety and security.
    On January 24, 2011, the Coast Guard published Navigation and
Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 01-2011, ``Guidance Related to
Waterfront Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Facilities.'' NVIC 01-2011
provides guidance for owners and operators seeking approval to build
and operate LNG facilities. While NVIC 01-2011 is specific to LNG, it
provides useful process information and guidance for owners and
operators seeking approval to build and operate LHG facilities as well.
The Coast Guard will refer to NVIC 01-2011 for process information and
guidance in evaluating Martin Operating Partnership LP's WSA. A copy of
NVIC 01-2011 is available for viewing in the public docket for this
notice and also on the Coast Guard's Web site at http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/nvic/2010s.asp.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. 1223-1225,
Department of Homeland Security Delegation Number 0170.1(70), 33 CFR
127.009, and 33 CFR 103.205.

    Dated: April 1, 2013.

Commander, U.S. Coast Guard, Acting Captain of the Port, Port Arthur.

fingerprint cards to the Exchange for processing.\11\ Paragraph .02 of
the Interpretations and Policies of Article 6, Rule 10 provides that
the Exchange shall submit fingerprint cards obtained pursuant to this
rule to the Attorney General of the United States or his or her
designee for identification and processing and that the Exchange shall
maintain the security of fingerprint cards and information received
from the Attorney General or his or her designee.

    \11\ While the Exchange is currently permitted to require
Participants to submit fingerprints to either the Exchange or to the
Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (``FINRA'') Web Central
Registration Depository (``Web CRD''), in 2011, the Exchange
eliminated, among other things, fees for fingerprint processing by
the Exchange and noted that the Exchange no longer provided
fingerprint processing services. See Exchange Act Release No. 64953
(July 25, 2011), 76 FR 45626 (July 29, 2011) (SR-CHX-2011-19)
(Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change to Clarify the Application of the Fee Schedule to Certain
Transactions of, and Services to, CHX Participants and Make Certain
Rate Changes); see also Exchange Act Release No. 57587 (March 31,

Relating to Registration Requirements); see also Exchange Act

Modified by Amendment No. 1, to Amend Rules Relating to Registration
Requirements).
    The CRD is the central licensing and registration system for the
U.S. securities industry. The CRD system enables individuals and
firms seeking registration with multiple states and self-regulatory
organizations to do so by submitting a single form, fingerprint card
and a combined payment of fees to FINRA. Through the CRD system,
FINRA maintains the qualification, employment and disciplinary
histories of registered associated persons of broker dealers.
    For those Participants that are not FINRA members, the Exchange
collects the appropriate Web CRD fees from such Participants on
behalf of FINRA. See CHX Fee Schedule Section J.5. Participants that
are also FINRA members are subject to the relevant fingerprint
processing fees under the FINRA Registration/Exam Fee Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to eliminate the reference to ``Participant
Firm,'' as the definition of ``Participant'' includes Participant Firms
\12\ and replace the reference to ``SEC Rule 17f-2'' with ``Rule 17f-2
under the Exchange Act,'' which is stylistically consistent with other
citations to various rules under the Exchange Act throughout the CHX
Rules.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See supra note 5.
    \13\ See e.g., CHX Article 7, Rule 8(a); see also e.g., CHX
Article 12, Rule 8(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Moreover, as the Exchange no longer permits Participants to submit
fingerprints to the Exchange directly,\14\ the Exchange proposes to
delete paragraphs .01 and .02 of the Interpretations and Policies of
Article 6, Rule 10 and adopt language under amended Article 6, Rule 10
that provides that each Participant shall submit the fingerprints of
its associated persons to the FINRA Web CRD prior to such personnel
performing the functions listed under Rule 17f-2 under the Exchange
Act. Thus, the proposed rule change serves to clean up provisions that
should have been amended at the time the Exchange filed SR-CHX-2011-
19.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See supra note 11.
    \15\ See supra note 11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with section 6(b) of the Act \16\ in general and furthers the
objectives of sections 6(b)(1) \17\ in particular, in that it further
enables the Exchange to be so organized as to have the capacity to be
able to carry out the purposes of the Act and to comply, and to enforce
compliance by its Participants and persons associated with its
Participants, with the provisions of the Act, the rules and regulations
thereunder, and the rules of the Exchange, in furtherance of the
objectives of section 6(b)(1). Specifically, the Exchange believes that
the proposed rule change serves to clean up provisions that should have
been amended at the time the Exchange filed SR-CHX-2011-19,\18\ which
furthers the objectives of section 6(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
    \18\ See supra note 11.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as the proposed rule change
serves to clarify that the Exchange no longer accepts fingerprint
submissions from Participants, which does not implicate competitive
issues.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments Regarding the
Proposed Rule Changes Received From Members, Participants or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Changes and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the proposed rule change does not (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, the proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \19\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\20\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \20\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative
delay so that the proposal may become operative upon filing. The
Exchange states that the proposed change cleans up provisions that
should have been amended at the time the Exchange filed SR-CHX-2011-
19.\21\ The Commission believes that waiver of the operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest.
The rule change removes outdated rule text regarding the Exchange
submitting fingerprint cards and amends Rule 10 to state that
fingerprints must be submitted via Web CRD. Waiver of the operative
delay will permit CHX to implement the change, which aligns its rules
with its practice, without delay. Therefore, the Commission designates
the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ See supra note 11.
    \22\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
section 19(b)(2)(B) \23\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Docket Nos. CP17-458-000, CP19-17-000]

Midship Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of Request for Extension of
Time

    Take notice that on September 13, 2022, Midship Pipeline Company,
LLC (Midship) requested that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) grant an extension of time, until December 31, 2024, to
complete their Midcontinent Supply Header Interstate Pipeline Project,
as authorized in the August 13, 2018 Order Issuing Certificate Under
Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (August 13 Order).\1\ Midship states
that the original purpose of the project was to provide a total of
1,440 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of year-round firm
transportation capacity from Oklahoma to existing natural gas pipelines
near Bennington, Oklahoma for transport to growing Gulf Coast and
Southeast markets. Ordering Paragraph (B)(1) of the August 13 Order, as
amended, provided a deadline of August 13, 2020 to make their
facilities available for service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Midship Pipeline Company, LLC, 164 FERC ] 61,103 (2018)
(August 13 Order), order amending certificate, Midship Pipeline
Company, LLC, 166 FERC ] 62,039 (2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On August 10, 2020, as supplemented on August 12, 2020, Midship
filed a request for an extension of time, until December 31, 2022, to
complete construction of the project and place the remaining
facilities--three compression units--into service. The Commission
granted that requested extension of time on December 17, 2020.\2\ That
Order recognized that Midship had placed all other facilities into
service and its pipeline system was capable of providing up to 1,100
MMcf/d of firm transportation service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Midship Pipeline Company, LLC, 173 FERC ] 61,255 (2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Midship now states that, due to adverse economic and logistical
conditions induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, commercial progress was
slowed. Midship now states that these unforeseen circumstances
precluded the project from reaching full commercialization, and that
additional time is now required to complete the construction and place
into service the certain remaining facilities, namely those three
compression units.
    This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on the applicant's
request for an extension of time 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 Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Only motions to intervene from entities that were party to
the underlying proceeding will be accepted. Algonquin Gas
Transmission, LLC, 170 FERC ] 61,144, at P 39 (2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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,\4\ the
Commission will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45
days.\5\ The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether
the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the
extension.\6\ 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 Commission's environmental analysis for
the

certificate complied with the National Environmental Policy Act.\7\ 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.\8\ The OEP Director, or
his or her designee, will act on all of those extension requests that
are uncontested.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Contested proceedings are those where an intervenor disputes
