DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
[Docket No. CP25-207-000]
Distrigas of Massachusetts LLC; Notice of Schedule for the
Preparation of an Environmental Assessment for the Bog Compressor
Project
On April 14, 2025, Distrigas of Massachusetts LLC filed an
application in Docket No. CP25-207-000 requesting Authorization
pursuant to section 3 of the Natural Gas Act to construct and operate
certain natural gas facilities. The proposed project is known as the
BOG Compressor Project (Project) and would involve installing a
redundant boil-off gas (BOG) compressor to capture BOG emissions from
the existing liquefied natural gas storage system.
On April 25, 2025, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project.
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing Federal
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and
to reach a final decision on a request for a Federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's
environmental document for the Project.
This notice identifies Commission staff's intention to prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) for the Project and the planned schedule
for the completion of the environmental review.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For tracking purposes under the National Environmental
Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1747049057.

Issuance of EA June 27, 2025
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline \2\ September 25, 2025
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.
Project Description
The proposed Project includes construction and operation of the
following facilities within the existing liquefied natural gas storage
system fenceline:
<bullet> one 500-horsepower (hp) electric driven BOG compressor
unit;
<bullet> modifications to the Water/Glycol Heating and Cooling
System;
<bullet> new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system on
the existing BOG compressor building;
<bullet> electrical service connection and new medium voltage to
low voltage transformer within the Terminal;
<bullet> 400 feet of new 12-inch-diameter piping; and
<bullet> ancillary systems for process control, instrumentation,
communications, and hazard detection, which will be integrated with the
existing plant control system.
