Columbia Gas needs to receive approval from the Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) in order to move forward with their plan. The steps below are for accessing the OPSB website in order to submit a public comment.

• Go to https://dis.puc.state.oh.us

• In the upper right corner search box for Case Lookup enter the case number for the proposed gas line which is 25-0838-GA-BTX, then click the magnifying glass to access the Case Record page.

• On the Case Record page there are tabs for Case Documents and Public Comments. To view previously filed public comments click on the Public Comments tab, you will see them listed and can read them by clicking on the Date Filed for the comment and then View Document.

• To file your comment, click File a Public Comment on the upper right side of the page. On the next page there are boxes to fill in information and you can either file anonymously or provide your contact name and email. Type your comment in the bottom box where it says Description of Comment, then click Submit.

• After Columbia Gas submits their application for approval, as part of the process there will be a public hearing. You can request notification of the hearing by using one of these methods: 1) create an account and subscribe to receive updates each time a new document is added to the Case Record by clicking on “Subscribe and E-file” at dis.puc.state.oh.us/, OR 2) go to OPSB.ohio.gov and provide your email at the bottom of the page where it says “Keep Up to Date” (this option will provide notifications of all upcoming utility-related hearings, it is not case-specific).
