Deadline for Submitting Comments

General public comments can only be submitted to FERC during the pre-filing period.

The pre-filing period for the Williams Transco Atlantic Sunrise Expansion Project, of which the Central Penn Line South is a part, began on April 4, 2014 when FERC notified Williams Transco that they had been approved to use the pre-filing process.

The pre-filing period ends when Williams Transco submits its application for the project.  Williams Transco told FERC that they intend to file their application no later than March 2015, and pre-filing periods typically last at least six months, but otherwise when the end of the pre-filing period will occur is uncertain.
