DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP23-501-000]
Port Arthur LNG, LLC, PALNG Common Facilities Company, LLC;
Notice of Revised Schedule for Environmental Review of the Port Arthur
Liquified Natural Gas Amendment
This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) staff's revised schedule for the completion of the
environmental assessment (EA) for Port Arthur LNG, LLC's and PALNG
Common Facilities Company, LLC's (collectively, PALNG) Port Arthur
Liquified Natural Gas Amendment. The first notice of schedule, issued
on August 30, 2023, identified December 19, 2023 as the EA issuance
date. However, changes to the amendment scope by PALNG and deficient
responses to environmental and engineering data requests precluded FERC
staff from completing the environmental review by the EA issuance
date.\1\ As a result, staff has revised the schedule for issuance of
the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ On November 15, 2023, the Commission issued an environmental
information request to PALNG requesting additional information
needed to complete the environmental review for the amendment. The
request stated that a schedule change was necessary for the issuance
of the EA based on changes to the amendment scope identified in
information provided by PALNG on November 6 and November 13, 2023.
FERC staff also stated that a revised notice of schedule would be
issued once the information needs identified in the environmental
information request are reviewed for completeness to issue the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Schedule for Environmental Review
Issuance of EA--March 15, 2024
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline \2\--June 13, 2024
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Commission's deadline applies to the decisions of other
Federal agencies, and State agencies acting under federally
delegated authority, that are responsible for Federal
authorizations, permits, and other approvals necessary for proposed
projects under the Natural Gas Act. Per 18 CFR 157.22(a), the
Commission's deadline for other agency's decisions applies unless a
schedule is otherwise established by Federal law.
If a schedule change becomes necessary, an additional notice will
be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
amendment's progress.
