# MountainWest Overthrust Pipeline, LLC; Notice of Motion To Vacate Certificate in Part
Take notice that on March 11, 2026, MountainWest Overthrust Pipeline, LLC (Overthrust), 650 South Main Street, Suite 300, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101, filed in the above-referenced docket a motion to vacate a portion of the certificate authority granted by the Commission on October 17, 2024. [^1] In the Certificate Order, the Commission granted Overthrust a certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct the Westbound Compression Expansion Project (Project) located in Lincoln and Sweetwater Counties, Wyoming. The Project created 325,000 dekatherms per day of incremental firm transportation capacity from Overthrust's existing Wamsutter Interconnect to a new Kern River Gas Transmission Company (Kern River) delivery point near Overthrust's existing Roberson Compressor Station.
[^1]*MountainWest Overthrust Pipeline, LLC,* 189 FERC ¶ 61,046 (2024) (Certificate Order).
In its motion, Overthrust states that it has constructed most of the certificated facilities, with the exception of a pig launcher at its existing Cabin 31 Interconnect Pipeline Facility (Cabin 31). On November 13, 2025, Commission staff authorized Overthrust to place the completed facilities into service, noting that Overthrust reported that it would be able to provide the full project capacity without completion of the pig launcher. Overthrust states that, due to a delay in receiving the revised right-of-way grant from the Kemmerer Bureau of Land Management and not yet reaching agreement with a private landowner, Overthrust has not begun construction at Cabin 31. Overthrust explains that these facilities are auxiliary and not necessary to provide the full capacity, but that it will continue efforts to install the Cabin 31 facilities at a later time for future maintenance and safety of the pipeline. Therefore, Overthrust requests that the Commission vacate the portion of the certificate for the project that authorizes the Cabin 31 facilities.
