[Docket No. CP20-52-000]


WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.; Notice of Revised Schedule for 
Environmental Review of the North Bakken Expansion Project

    This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(FERC or Commission) staff's revised schedule for the completion of the 
environmental assessment (EA) for WBI Energy Transmission, Inc.'s (WBI 
Energy) North Bakken Expansion Project. The first notice of schedule, 
issued on April 10, 2020, identified September 4, 2020 as the EA 
issuance date. Since issuance of the April 10 notice, WBI Energy has 
proposed pipeline route and facility changes and has not fully 
responded to a previous information request. WBI Energy stated in a 
letter filed to the project docket that it will file the outstanding 
data needed for the EA, including information regarding the route 
changes, on or before September 11, 2020. As a result, Commission staff 
has revised the schedule for issuance of the EA, based on WBI Energy 
filing complete information within the forthcoming data response.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of the EA--December 17, 2020
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--March 17, 2021

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, an additional notice will 
be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the 
project's progress.

keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets,
