Project
Attachments: Updated -Atlantic Coast Project Permitting Timetable.xlsx
Good morning,
Thank you for providing feedback on the Coordinated Project Plan and Permitting Timetable for the Project. I am
attaching a spreadsheet displaying the latest version of the Permitting Timetable. Please submit any additional comments
by the end of this week. I plan to post the Permitting Timetable on the publicly available Dashboard beginning next week,
November 22�d.
In addition to the notes provided in the attached spreadsheet, all state authorizations will be accompanied by the
following note: "[State agency] has not chosen to participate in the FAST -41 process. This authorization is listed for
information purposes only, and does not transfer any responsibility to the [state agency] to conform to the Permitting
Timetable."

Feel free to call with any questions you might have.

Subject: FERC Consultation for FAST -41 -Atlantic Coast Pipeline, Supply Header, and Lease Project
To whom it may concern -
On December 4, 2015, the President signed into law the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act. Title 41 of
the FAST Act (FAST -41) requires additional oversight and coordination of project reviews, with the goal of improving early
consultation and coordination between government agencies. On September 22, 2016, the Executive Director of the
Federal Infrastructure Permitting Improvement Steering Council finalized an inventory of projects covered by FAST -
41. Included on that list is the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, Atlantic Coast Pipeline Amendment, Supply Header, and ACP -
Piedmont Lease Project (Project).
In compliance with section 41003(c) of FAST -41, staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has drafted a
Coordinated Project Plan and Permitting Timetable for the Project. FERC staff is now seeking consultation with
cooperating and participating agencies on the attached Coordinated Project Plan and Permitting Timetable. Under FAST -
41, a "participating agency" is an agency participating in an environmental review or authorization for a covered
project. A "cooperating agency" is any agency with: (1) jurisdiction under federal law, or (2) special expertise with

respect to an environmental issue. We are also seeking consultation with the project sponsor and relevant state resource
agencies on the Permitting Timetable, and are seeking the concurrence of each cooperating agency on the Permitting
Timetable.
FERC staff has identified you as a representative of a consulting entity, and is seeking feedback on the attached document
by no later than the close of business on November 14, 2016. Please submit any such feedback via email to
[e-mail], and feel free to contact me with any procedural questions regarding the FAST -41 consultation
process. FERC's rules prohibit off-the-record communications regarding the merits of contested proceedings. See 18
C.F.R. § 385.2201.
Please forward this email, as needed, to agency representatives with decision-making authority on the applicable
authorization or review being carried out by your agency. Absent a response from your agency, FERC staff must assume
that this portion of FAST -41 consultation is complete and that you concur with the attached document, under such
circumstances, we will use best -available information to estimate completion dates for your review/authorization.
The President's Office of Management and Budget has requested that this Coordinated Project Plan and the associated
Permitting Timetable be uploaded to max.gov and the Permitting Dashboard, respectively, by November22, 2016.
Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter, and again, if you have any questions, please contact me.
