Public Participation

There are three ways to become involved in the Commission's review of this project: you can file a protest to the project,
you can file a motion to intervene in the proceeding, and you can file comments on the project. There is no fee or cost for
filing protests, motions to intervene, or comments. The deadline for filing protests, motions to intervene, and comments is
5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 12, 2026. How to file protests, motions to intervene, and comments is explained below.

For public inquiries and assistance with making filings such as interventions, comments, or requests for rehearing, contact
the Office of Public Participation (OPP) at (202) 502-6595 or OPP@ferc.gov.

Protests

Pursuant to section 157.205 of the Commission's regulations under the NGA, (1) any person (2) or the Commission's staff may file a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed or if a protest
is filed and then withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a protest, the proposed activity shall be deemed
to be authorized effective the day after the time allowed for protest. If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days
after the time allowed for filing a protest, the instant request for authorization will be considered by the Commission.

Protests must comply with the requirements specified in section 157.205(e) of the Commission's regulations, (3) and must be submitted by the protest deadline, which is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 12, 2026. A protest may also serve
as a motion to intervene so long as the protestor states it also seeks to be an intervenor.

Interventions

Any person has the option to file a motion to intervene in this proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing
of Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts
of Appeal.

To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules
of Practice and Procedure (4) and the regulations under the NGA (5) by the intervention deadline for the project, which is 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 12, 2026. As described further in Rule
214, your motion to intervene must state, to the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as well as your interest
in the proceeding. For an individual, this could include your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted community,
or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information
about motions to intervene, refer to the FERC website at https://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp.

All timely, unopposed motions to intervene are automatically granted by operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to intervene
that are filed after the intervention deadline are untimely and may be denied. Any late-filed motion to intervene must show
good cause for being late and must explain why the time limitation should be waived and provide justification by reference
to factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations. A person obtaining party status will be placed
on the service list maintained by the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies (paper or electronic) of all documents
filed by the applicant and by all other parties.

Comments

Any person wishing to comment on the project may do so. The Commission considers all comments received about the project in
determining the appropriate action to be taken. To ensure that your comments are timely and properly recorded, please submit
your comments on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 12, 2026. The filing of a comment alone will not serve to make the
filer a party to the proceeding. To become a party, you must intervene in the proceeding.
