Thank you for taking the time to submit, an electronic Notice of Intent (eNOl) for the Atlantic Coast, Pipeline. 1 want to let,
YOU know, however, that, this project, is not required to obtain coverage under the NCGO1 permit,. This is because 40 C.E.R.

1 am going to reject, the eNC II that, was submitted for the Atlantic Coast, Pipeline project, on the grounds that, it is not
subject, to the permit,. we have checked our database and we have not issued any Certificates of Coverage for Atlantic
Coast, Pipeline projects to date.
