Virtual Scoping Meeting for the Maysville Project (CP26-25-000)

Docket No. CP26-25-000

On January 7, 2026, the staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) issued a Notice of Scoping Period Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed Maysville Project, and Notice of Public Scoping Sessions.  The notice described the project facilities (including a facilities map) and announced the ongoing scoping period that ends on February 6, 2026.  However, on January 23, 2026, the Commission cancelled the public scoping sessions due to a winter storm and stated a separate notice would be issued to indicate the dates and times for any rescheduled scoping session. 

In an effort to gather public comments that would have been received at the recently cancelled scoping sessions, this notice invites you to attend a virtual public scoping session Commission staff will conduct by telephone for the proposed Maysville Project (Project).  With this notice the Commission is also extending the scoping period for the project, which will now close on February 23, 2026. 

This virtual scoping session will be held as follows:

Thursday, February 19, 2026
6:00 pm (EST)
Call in number:  1-866-652-5200
Ask to be joined into the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) call

Comments

Note that the scoping meeting will start at 6:00 pm (EST) and will terminate once all participants wishing to comment have had the opportunity to do so, or at 8:00 pm (EST), whichever comes first.  The primary goal of this scoping session is to have you identify the specific environmental issues and concerns that should be considered in the environmental document.  Individual oral comments will be taken one at a time with a court reporter present on the line.  This format is designed to receive the maximum amount of oral comments, in a convenient way during the timeframe allotted.

There will not be a formal presentation by Commission staff when the session opens.  You may call at any time after the session begins, at which time you will be placed on hold.  Calls will be answered in the order they are received.  Once answered, you will have the opportunity to provide your comment directly to a court reporter with FERC staff or representative present on the line.  A time limit of 5 minutes may be implemented for each commentor.  Please note that your hold times may vary based on the number of callers at any given time. 

Your oral comments will be recorded by the court reporter and become part of the public record for this proceeding.  Transcripts of all comments received during the scoping session will be publicly available on FERC’s eLibrary system.  It is important to note that the Commission provides equal consideration to all comments received, whether filed in written form or provided orally at a virtual scoping session.
