On May 30, 2023, the Commission granted Sabine Pass' request to
utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-Filing Process
and assigned Docket No. PF23-2-000 to staff activities involved in the
Project. Now, as of the filing of the February 29, 2024, application,
the Pre-Filing Process for SPLNG's Sabine Pass Stage 5 Expansion
Project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be
conducted in Docket No. CP24-75-000 as noted in the caption of this
Notice. The Pre-Filing Process will continue for the Sabine Crossing
Pipeline Project under Docket No. PF23-2-000.
In its withdrawal letter, Sabine Crossing states that it will
resubmit an NGA section 7(c) application for the Sabine Crossing
Pipeline Project following further development and modification of the
project. Until the details of the revised Sabine Crossing Pipeline
Project are filed and more fully understood, the Commission cannot
begin preparation of a NEPA document. Pursuant to section 157.9 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure,\2\ within 90 days after
the Commission issues a Notice of Application for the revised Sabine
Crossing Pipeline Project, Commission staff will issue a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review that will indicate the anticipated
date for Commission staff's issuance of the NEPA document analyzing
both the Sabine Pass Stage 5 Expansion Project and the Sabine Crossing
Pipeline Project. The issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will also serve to notify federal and state
agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and
the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90
days of the date of issuance of Commission staff's NEPA document.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ 18 CFR 157.9.

intervene at this time. When Sabine Crossing files a revised
application for the Sabine Crossing Pipeline Project, a notice will be
issued establishing a deadline to file comments, protests, and motions
to intervene for both the Sabine Crossing Pipeline Project and the
Sabine Pass Stage 5 Expansion Project.
