Venture Global CP2 LNG, LLC; Venture Global CP Express, LLC;
Notice Suspending Environmental Review Schedule of the Proposed CP2 LNG
and CP EXPRESS PROJECTS
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) is suspending the environmental review schedule of the CP2
LNG and CP Express Projects (Projects) involving construction and
operation of facilities by Venture Global CP2 LNG, LLC (CP2 LNG) and
Venture Global CP Express, LLC (CP Express) in Jasper and Newton
Counties, Texas, and Calcasieu and Cameron Parishes, Louisiana. The
notice of schedule, issued on February 9, 2022, identified a July 2022
draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) issuance date and a February
10, 2023 final EIS date. This schedule was based upon CP2 LNG and CP
Express providing complete and timely responses to any data requests.
Environmental or engineering data requests were issued on February 11,
April 11, April 14, and May 11, 2022. CP2 LNG and CP Express responded
partially to these data requests on March 3, March 11, March 31, April
22, May 2, May 4, May 20, May 31, June 10, and June 30, 2022. A number
of responses to data requests remain outstanding and/or are deficient,
including the following, which are integral to the development of the
draft EIS:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Examples of necessary information for Date to be provided according
draft EIS to CP2 LNG and CP express
------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------
As stated in our data requests, complete responses to these
information requests within the time frame requested was necessary to
maintain the published schedule for issuance of the EIS. CP2 LNG and CP
Express have indicated in its responses to staff data requests that
certain information would not be provided in time for staff to evaluate
the responses and complete the analysis required for the draft EIS.
Because there are still a number of outstanding responses to staff's
environmental and engineering data requests, FERC staff are no longer
able to complete the draft EIS as scheduled.
Therefore, the Commission will suspend the environmental review
schedule for the Projects. Once CP2 LNG and CP Express provide the
outstanding information or a schedule for when all substantive
responses would be provided, the Commission will issue a revised
schedule for the draft and final EIS. This is not a suspension of the
Commission staff's review of the CP2 LNG and CP Express' Projects.
Staff will continue to process CP2 LNG and CP Express' proposal to the
extent possible based upon the information filed to date while awaiting
the remaining data responses.
