In addition to probably signing onto comments by a larger entity,
WWALS is preparing comments for FERC in response to its Notice of Inquiry (NOI)
about “Certification of New Interstate Natural Gas Facilities”.
FERC’s current deadline is this Wednesday, 25 July 2018.
Please send any suggestions you may have to wwalswatershed@gmail.com.
Or file your own comments.
Apologies for the late request.
Here’s what FERC has asked for:
In the NOI, the Commission sought input on whether, and if so how,
the Commission should adjust: (1) its methodology for determining
whether there is a need for a proposed project, including the
Commission’s consideration of precedent agreements and contracts for
service as evidence of such need; (2) its consideration of the
potential exercise of eminent domain and of landowner interests
related to a proposed project; and (3) its evaluation of the
environmental impact of a proposed project. The Commission also
sought input on whether there are specific changes the Commission
could consider implementing to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of its certificate processes including pre-filing,
post-filing, and post-order issuance.
