The applicant shall notify the board, through timely
filings made in the docket of the case, of the date on which construction will
begin, the date on which construction was completed, and the date on which the
facility began commercial operation.
(B)
The certificate
shall become invalid if the applicant has not commenced a continuous course of
construction of the proposed facility within five years of the date of issuance
of the certificate.
(C)
An applicant may seek review of a proposed
modification(s) of a certificated facility by filing the proposed
modification(s) in the public docket of the certificate case and by providing
written notification of such filing to staff and all owners and residents of
each property that would hold the proposed modified facility, or a portion of
the proposed modified facility, or would require an easement for the proposed
modified facility. The applicant shall also send a letter to the owner and
resident of each property that is separated by a distance of less than forty
feet from the aforementioned properties. Unless otherwise ordered by the board
or administrative law judge, modification(s) shall not be considered amendments
to the certificate if such modification(s) would be minimal in nature and would
be adequately addressed by the conditions of the certificate. The applicant's
written notification shall reference, and include a copy of, paragraph (D) of
this rule. In the filing submitted in the public docket, the applicant shall
present its rationale as to why the applicant is seeking the proposed
modification(s) and shall demonstrate that the proposed modification(s) would
be minimal in nature and would be adequately addressed by the conditions of the
certificate. Staff or any interested person may file objections to the
applicant's proposal within twenty-one days. If no objections are filed within
the twenty-one day period, the applicant may proceed with the proposed
modification(s). If objections are filed within the twenty-one day period, the
board's staff may subsequently docket its recommendation on the proposal. The
board will process proposed modification(s) with filed objections under the
suspension process set forth for accelerated applications as outlined in rule
4906-6-09 of the Administrative
Code. The applicant may start or continue construction activities during review
of a proposed modification on any portion or segment of the certificated
facility that is not impacted by the proposed modification.
(D)

after the commencement of commercial operation, the applicant shall submit on
the docket of its certificate case a copy of the as-built drawings, subject to
any redactions pertaining to critical energy infrastructure information and
other facility information protected from public disclosure, for the entire
facility. The applicant also shall use reasonable efforts to provide to the
board's staff as-built drawings in both hard copy and as
geographically-referenced electronic data.
(E)
Within six months
of commencement of operation of the facility, the applicant shall register the
as-built locations of the underground electric lines or gas pipelines
referenced in the application with the Ohio utilities protection service. The

protection service, if it operates in the project area. Confirmation of
registration(s) shall be filed on the docket of the certificate
case.

Proof of condition compliance shall be provided to
staff and filed in the case docket, subject to any protective treatment
authorized by board staff or an administrative law judge, in accordance with
