[Docket No. MARAD-2019-0093]
Deepwater Port License Application: Texas GulfLink LLC
(GulfLink)--Special Notice
AGENCY: Maritime Administration, Department of Transportation.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Maritime Administration (MARAD) is providing notice to the
public of the delay in issuing the Record of Decision for the proposed
Texas GulfLink Deepwater Port, as the agency continues to process and
consider public submissions on the proposed project.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Barton, Office of Deepwater
Ports and Port Conveyance, MARAD, telephone: 202-366-4610, email:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under section 5(k) of the Deepwater Port Act
of 1974 (DWPA) (33 U.S.C. 1504(k)), MARAD is required to publish a
written statement in the Federal Register regarding delays in the
processing of applications for oil or natural gas terminals licensed
under the DWPA. On May 30, 2019, MARAD and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)
received a license application from GulfLink for all Federal
authorizations required for a license to construct, own, and operate a
deepwater port for the export of oil in the Gulf of Mexico off the
coast of Brazoria County, TX. A Notice of Application summarizing and
providing further information regarding the GulfLink Deepwater Port
License application was published in the Federal Register on June 26,
2019 (84 FR 30298). After extensive public and interagency review, a
Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) was published on July 5,
2024, and the final public hearing was held on September 13, 2024. Over
44,000 public submissions on the FEIS and final public hearing were
received in the TGL docket number MARAD-2019-0093 at <a href="http://Regulations.gov">Regulations.gov</a>.
MARAD is still reviewing and considering the comments received and
issuance of a Record of Decision is therefore delayed. The applicable
deadline for issuance of the Record of Decision is set forth in DWPA
section 5(i)(1) (33 U.S.C. 1504(i)(1)). This ongoing review will ensure
that all substantive public comments are considered and that the
information, data, and viewpoints received during this phase of the
project review are fully assessed and evaluated before MARAD renders a
final decision.
Privacy Act
Anyone can search the electronic form of all comments received into
any of our dockets by the name of the individual submitting the comment
(or signing the comment if submitted on behalf of an association,
business, labor union, etc.). For information on DOT's compliance with
the Privacy Act, visit <a href="http://www.transportation.gov/privacy">www.transportation.gov/privacy</a>.
(Authority: DWPA, Pub. L. 93-627 (33 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.); 49 CFR
1.93(h))
By Order of the Maritime Administrator.

Secretary, Maritime Administration.
