Anyone can submit comments to FERC during the formal filing process.
- Registering as an Intervenor must take place within 21 calendar days of the Formal Filing application submission to FERC.
- Intervenor Registration deadlines:
- Quoddy Bay LNG — 2007 January 16.
- Downeast LNG — 2007 January 22.
- Note that each LNG project has four (4) separate Dockets. You may want to register as an intervenor with specific individual dockets or with all dockets. Each docket requires separate Intervenor registration; however, the same Motion to Intervene letter can be used for all dockets, if all docket numbers are listed at the head of the letter, and the same letter is sent to each docket, or if one letter is mailed by post. See this example Motion to Intervene letter.
[Your Name] |

Dear Ms. Bose: |
Very truly, |
If you're using the Postal Service, actually sign your name. If it is a typed document, we suggest that you type your name below the signature. If eFiling, an actual signature is not required, |
Filenaming & File Location Suggestion for eFiling
Use the same format as in Requirements and Suggestions, shown above.
Send via the postal system or via overnight service to:
Ms. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary |
Note: Your comments will take time to be delivered, will then be scanned by FERC, and then will be posted to the eLibrary.
See FERC's webpage on this topic:
TopFrom the FERC website:
eFiling is a file attachment process. Prepare your submission in the same manner as you would if filing on paper. If you're filing in a docketed proceeding(s), the document you submit must include the docket number(s) applicable to your submission. All documents must include the name and address of the person responsible for the filing.
The Commission does not accept comments or other documents on proceedings via email.
While it is possible to submit proprietary software documents (i.e., created as Microsoft Word documents), submitting documents in Rich Text Format (RTF), or in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) will make the files more universally accessible, speeding up their posting in the eLibrary.
(FERC's eLibrary will attempt to generate — and make available, along with your original submission — a unified PDF file from all the files within your submission. That offers the public with a choice of downloading the original files as individual files in their original format, or as a unified PDF. Note that the FERC eLibrary cannot generate PDF files from some file formats. In such cases, an error page will be generated. If you've downloaded such a file, you may want to download the file separately in its original format. In our experience, some types of files from which FERC has difficulty generating a PDF: Microsoft Works, image-only PDF files, Adobe Acrobat 1.4 PDF files, non-MS Word text documents that are not saved as RTF or PDF files.)

How Can I Submit Comments or an Intervenor Registration?
Read the eFiling Online information above.
First, you must register with FERC (see below).
Then, you may submit comments as files, by uploading via the FERC eFiling special procedure. Submitting an Intervenor Registration uses the same procedure.
Register to Intervene ONLY on Formal Filing Dockets. DO NOT register as an Intervenor to a Pre-filing docket, since Pre-filing dockets do not recognize Intervenor status.
Prepare your comments or Intervenor Registration within files (RTF and PDF are the most universally-readable file formats) to be uploaded prior to using the process described below. Be sure to include the Requirements and Suggestions provided above. You are limited to 10 files per submission, 10 MB per file.
Please submit fact-based comments. Emotional comments may actually be counter-productive, or may simply be ignored.
You may want to print these instructions, in order to use them as a guide while submitting your comments.
