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
Nicholas.Tackett@ferc.gov, 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 November2Z 2016.
Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter, and again, if you have any questions, please contact me.

FAST -41 COORDINATED PROJECT PLAN
Atlantic Coast Pipeline, Atlantic Coast Pipeline Amendment, Supply Header, and ACP -
Piedmont Lease Project
On September 22, 2016, the Executive Director of the Federal Infrastructure Permitting
Improvement Steering Council finalized an inventory of projects covered by Title 41 of the
Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST -41). Included on that list is the Atlantic
Coast Pipeline, Atlantic Coast Pipeline Amendment, Supply Header, and ACP -Piedmont Lease
Project (Project).
Background
In accordance with FAST -41, an online database known as the "Permitting Dashboard" has been
created to track the status of federal environmental reviews and authorizations for FAST -41
projects. A specific website for the Project is located here. The website includes the Project's
location, lead agency information, sponsor contact information, and the following brief
description:
"This project consists of four proposals: Atlantic Coast Pipeline (Docket No. CP 15-
554-000), Atlantic Coast Pipeline Amendment (Docket No. CP15-554-001), Supply
Header (Docket No. CP15-555-000), and ACP -Piedmont Lease (Docket No. CP15-556-
000). Atlantic Coast Pipeline would increase natural gas transportation service by 1.5
Bcf/d in West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina through: (1) construction of 564
miles of pipeline; and (2) three new natural gas compressor stations. The Atlantic Coast
Pipeline Amendment, filed 03/14/2016, amends the Atlantic Coast Pipeline application
by adding construction of 80 miles of new natural gas pipeline and revising the pipeline
route to include U.S. Forest Service land. Supply Header would provide 1.5 Bcf/d of
additional natural gas transportation service to the Atlantic Coast Pipeline through: (1)
construction of 37.5 miles of natural gas pipeline; and (2) additional capacity at three
existing compressor stations in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The ACP -Piedmont
Lease consists of a proposal to lease capacity on an existing pipeline in North Carolina,
which will be used by Atlantic Coast Pipeline."
IL Coordinated Proiect Plan
Section 41003(c) of FAST -41 requires the establishment of a Coordinated Project Plan (CPP) for
each covered project. The CPP must contain the following four elements:
1. A list of, and roles and responsibilities for, all entities with NEPA or federal authorization
responsibilities for the project.
2. A Permitting Timetable setting forth a comprehensive schedule of dates by which all
environmental reviews and authorizations, and to the maximum extent practicable, state
permits, reviews and approvals must be made.
3. A discussion of potential avoidance, minimization, and mitigation strategies, if required by
applicable law and known.
4. Plans and a schedule for public and tribal outreach and coordination, to the extent required
by applicable law.
Atlantic Coast Project FAST -41 CPP
These four elements are provided below for the Project. The President's Office of Management
and Budget has requested that this CPP and the associated Permitting Timetable be uploaded to
max.gov and the Permitting Dashboard, respectively, by November 21, 2016.
A. List of Entities with Authorization and Environmental Oversight
See Atlantic Coast Pipeline, LLC September 18, 2015 Filing, Volume I of Atlantic Coast
Pipeline Application, FERC Docket No. CP15-554-000, at Exhibit J (pdf p. 157), available at:
htlp:Helibrary.ferc.gov/IDMWS/common/OpenNat.asp?fllelD=1399093 1.
See Dominion Transmission, LLC September 18, 2015 Filing, Volume I of Abbreviated
Application for Supply Header Project, FERC Docket No. CP15-555-000, at Exhibit J (pdf p.
44), available at: htlp:Helibrary.ferc.gov/IDMWS/common/OpenNat.asp?fileID=13991029.
B. Permitting Timetable of all NEPA Reviews and Federal Authorizations
See Appendix.
C. Discussion of Mitigation Strategies
FERC develops avoidance, minimization, and mitigation strategies by using: (1) the Project
sponsor's proposed measures; and (2) comments, recommendations, and conditions submitted
during the Project's scoping process and NEPA environmental review process by resource
agencies, parties to the proceeding, and Commission staff.
D. Schedule for Public and Tribal Outreach
Pursuant to FERC's pre -filing procedures for natural gas facilities, public and tribal outreach
begins when the Director of FERC's Office of Energy Projects issues a notice commencing the
pre -filing process. Within seven days thereafter, and following consultation with Commission
staff, the Project sponsor must establish the dates and locations for conducting open houses and
meetings with stakeholders (including agencies) and Commission staff. Consultation timelines
are provided in FERC's regulations at 18 C.F.R. § 157.21(f) (2016).
See Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement for the Project, Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of
Public Scoping Meetings (issued 02/27/2015). Document located at:
