Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP24-490-000]
EcoEl[eacute]ctrica L.P.; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Ecoel[eacute]ctrica LNG
Supply Pipeline Capacity Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the
EcoEl[eacute]ctrica LNG Supply Pipeline Capacity Project (Project)
proposed by EcoEl[eacute]ctrica L.P. (EcoEl[eacute]ctrica) in the
above-referenced docket.\1\ EcoEl[eacute]ctrica proposes to increase
the existing LNG Supply Pipeline Project send out capacity between the
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal in Pe[ntilde]uelas, Puerto Rico
and the off-site, non-jurisdictional Crowley Puerto Rico LLC Truck
Loading Facility (TLF) from 250 gallons per minute (gpm) to 500 gpm.
The Project entails adjusting software pressure and flow control
setpoints to allow for the increased flow of LNG at the inlet of the
LNG Supply Pipeline. EcoEl[eacute]ctrica states that the purpose of the
project is to satisfy the increasing demand for LNG from the TLF and
its downstream users in Puerto Rico.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For tracking purposes under the National Environmental
Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1730221396.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the Project
in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental
Policy Act. The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed
project would not constitute a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
The U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Department of Transportation
participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EA.
Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with
respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and
participate in the NEPA analysis.
The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability of the
EA to federal, state, and local government representatives and
agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups;
potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and
groups. The EA is only available in electronic format. It may be viewed
and downloaded from the FERC's website (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov">www.ferc.gov</a>), on the natural
gas environmental documents page (<a href="https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents">https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents</a>). In addition, the EA
may be accessed by using the eLibrary link on the FERC's website. Click
on the eLibrary link (<a href="https://elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search">https://elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search</a>),

The EA is not a decision document. It presents Commission staff's
[[Page 15363]]
independent analysis of the environmental issues for the Commission to
consider when addressing the merits of all issues in this proceeding.
Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments should
focus on the EA's disclosure and discussion of potential environmental
effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen
environmental impacts. The more specific your comments, the more useful
they will be. To ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to
consider your comments prior to making its decision on this project, it
is important that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or
before 5 p.m. Eastern Time on May 5, 2025.
For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file
your comments to the Commission. The Commission encourages electronic
filing of comments and has staff available to assist you at (866) 208-

instructions so that your comments are properly recorded.
(1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission's website (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov">www.ferc.gov</a>) under the link to

eFiling feature on the Commission's website (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov">www.ferc.gov</a>) under the

must be addressed to: Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426. Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to:

Filing environmental comments will not give you intervenor status,
but you do not need intervenor status to have your comments considered.
Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing or judicial review of
the Commission's decision. At this point in this proceeding, the
timeframe for filing timely intervention requests has expired. Any
person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a motion
to intervene out-of-time pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214(b)(3) and
(d)) and show good cause why the time limitation should be waived.
Motions to intervene are more fully described at <a href="https://www.ferc.gov/how-intervene">https://www.ferc.gov/how-intervene</a>.
Additional information about the project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC website (<a href="http://www.ferc.gov">www.ferc.gov</a>) using the eLibrary link. The eLibrary link
also provides access to the texts of all formal documents issued by the
Commission, such as orders, notices, and rulemakings.

meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission
proceedings. OPP can help members of the public, including landowners,
community organizations, Tribal members and others, access publicly
available information and navigate Commission processes. For public
