[Docket No. CP26-532-000]
Rio Grande LNG Train 6, LLC; Notice of Rescheduled Virtual
Scoping Session for the Proposed Rio Grande LNG Expansion Project
On July 29, 2026, the staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC or Commission) issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Rio Grande LNG
Expansion Project, Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, Notice
of Public Scoping Session, and Schedule for Environmental Review. The
notice described the project facilities (including a facilities map)
and announced the ongoing scoping period that ends on August 31, 2026.
However, staff recognized that there was a typographical error in the
call-in number printed in the notice for the August 19, 2026, virtual
scoping session.
In an effort to gather public comments that were not received at
the virtual scoping session due to this error, this notice invites you
to attend the rescheduled virtual public scoping session Commission
staff will conduct by telephone for the proposed Rio Grande LNG
Expansion Project (Project). With this notice the Commission is also
extending the scoping period for the project, which will now close on
September 11, 2026. This virtual scoping session will be held as
follows:
Rio Grande LNG Expansion Project
Public Scoping Session
Date, Time, and Call-in Information
Wednesday, September 9, 2026
5:00 pm Central Standard Time (CST)
Call in number: 1-866-652-5200
Ask to be joined into the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(FERC) call
Note that the scoping session will start at 5:00 p.m. (CST) and
will terminate once all participants wishing to comment have had the
opportunity to do so, or at 7:00 p.m. (CST), whichever comes first. The
primary goal of this scoping session is to have you identify the
specific environmental issues and concerns that should be considered in
the environmental document. Individual oral comments will be taken one
at a time with a court reporter present on the line. This format is
designed to receive the maximum amount of oral comments, in a
convenient way during the timeframe allotted.
There will not be a formal presentation by Commission staff when
the session opens. You may call at any time after the session begins,
at which time you will be placed on hold. Calls will be answered in the
order they are received. Once answered, you will have the opportunity
to provide your comment directly to a court reporter with FERC staff or
representative present on the line. A time limit of 5 minutes may be
implemented for each commentor. Please note that your hold times may
vary based on the number of callers at any given time.
Your oral comments will be recorded by the court reporter and
become part of the public record for this proceeding. Transcripts of
all comments received during the scoping session will be publicly
available on FERC's eLibrary system. It is important to note that the
Commission provides equal consideration to all comments received,
whether filed in written form or provided orally at a virtual scoping
session.

comments and has staff available to assist you at (866) 208-3676, TTY
