2020-20002. WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Revised Schedule for Environmental Review of the North Bakken Expansion Project  

  • Start Preamble Start Printed Page 55848

    This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) staff's revised schedule for the completion of the environmental assessment (EA) for WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.'s (WBI Energy) North Bakken Expansion Project. The first notice of schedule, issued on April 10, 2020, identified September 4, 2020 as the EA issuance date. Since issuance of the April 10 notice, WBI Energy has proposed pipeline route and facility changes and has not fully responded to a previous information request. WBI Energy stated in a letter filed to the project docket that it will file the outstanding data needed for the EA, including information regarding the route changes, on or before September 11, 2020. As a result, Commission staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the EA, based on WBI Energy filing complete information within the forthcoming data response.

    Schedule for Environmental Review

    Issuance of the EA—December 17, 2020

    90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline—March 17, 2021

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