The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is the lead federal regulatory agency for the project. FERC staff will be available at each of the open houses to discuss its review process and hear stakeholder concerns. On October 16, 2013, FERC approved Florida Southeast Connection’s use of the pre-filing review process for this project. This process allows FERC’s review of the proposed project prior to our application submittal to identify and address issues early in the process. Information regarding our pre-filing request is available under Docket No. PF14-2 in FERC’s eLibrary website at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp.

Additional information about the project is attached to this letter. If you are unable to attend an open house, please feel free to contact our toll-free number at (855) 327-2660 or visit our website at www.floridasoutheastconnection.com.
