On February 7, 2025, the Commission granted the Applicants' request to utilize the National Environmental Policy Act Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF25-6-000 to staff activities involved in the Project.

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, [^1] within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: complete its environmental review and place it into the Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or environmental assessment (EA) for this proposal.
