DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP19–11–000] 

Sabine Pass LNG, L.P.; Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review of 

the SPLNG Third Berth Expansion 

Project 

On October 29, 2018, Sabine Pass 

LNG, L.P. (SPLNG) filed an application 

in Docket No. CP19–11–000 requesting 

authorization pursuant to section 3(a) of 

the Natural Gas Act to construct and 

operate certain liquefied natural gas 

(LNG) facilities in Sabine Pass, 

Louisiana. The proposed project is 

known as the SPLNG Third Birth 

Expansion Project (Project) and would 

include an expansion of the existing 

Sabine Pass LNG facility (Terminal), 

located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana on 

the Sabine Pass Channel. 

On November 7, 2018, the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC 

or Commission) 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 

the request for a federal authorization 

within 90 days of the date of issuance 

of the Commission staff’s Environmental 

Assessment (EA) for the Project. This 

instant notice identifies the FERC staff’s 

planned schedule for completion of the 

EA for the Project. The forecasted 

schedule for the EA is based upon 

SPLNG providing complete and timely 

responses to any data requests. In 

addition, the schedule assumes that the 

cooperating agencies will provide input 

on their areas of responsibility on a 

timely basis. 

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA: (August 23, 2019). 

90-day Federal Authorization 

Decision Deadline: (November 21, 

2019). 

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 expansion of the 

Terminal consists of the addition of a 

third marine berth (Third Berth) and 

supporting facilities. The Third Berth 

would be used to load LNG carriers for 

export and would be sized to 

accommodate vessels with a capacity of 

125,000 cubic meters (m3) to 180,000 

m3. The supporting facilities would

include tie-ins to the existing Terminal 

loading lines and boil-off gas lines 

associated with the five existing LNG 

tanks. The Project would also include 

the addition of piping, piperacks, 

utilities, and other additional 

infrastructure to transport LNG to the 

Third Berth. 

Background 

On March 8, 2018, the Commission 

staff granted SPLNG’s request to use the 

FERC’s pre-filing environmental review 

process and assigned the Project Docket 

No. PF18–3–000. On April 20, 2018, the 

Commission issued a Notice of Intent to 

Prepare an Environmental Assessment 

for the Planned SPLNG Third Berth 

Expansion Project, and Request for 

Comments on Environmental Issues 

(NOI). The NOI was issued during the 

pre-filing review of the Project in Docket 

No. PF18–3–000 and was sent to federal, 

state, and local government agencies; 

elected officials; affected landowners; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes and 

regional organizations; commenters and 

other interested parties; and local 

libraries and newspapers. In response to 

the NOI, the Commission received 

comments from the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, the Louisiana 

Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, 

and the Choctaw Nation. The primary 

issues raised by the commenters include 

effects on threatened and endangered 

species, wetland mitigation, and water 

quality impacts. All substantive 

comments will be addressed in the EA. 

The U.S. Department of 

Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Administration, U.S. Coast 

Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and 

Fisheries; U.S. Department of Energy, 

and U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency are cooperating agencies in the 

preparation of the EA. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

all formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets, the Commission offers

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title: FERC–715, Annual 

Transmission Planning and Evaluation 

Report. 

OMB Control No.: 1902–0171. 

Abstract: Acting under FPA section 

213,1 FERC requires each transmitting 

utility that operates integrated 

transmission system facilities rated 

above 100 kilovolts (kV) to submit 

annually: 

• Contact information for the FERC– 

715; 

• Base case power flow data (if it does 

not participate in the development and 

use of regional power flow data); 

• Transmission system maps and 

diagrams used by the respondent for 

transmission planning; 

• A detailed description of the 

transmission planning reliability criteria 

used to evaluate system performance for 

time frames and planning horizons used 

in regional and corporate planning; 

• A detailed description of the 

respondent’s transmission planning 

assessment practices (including, but not 

limited to, how reliability criteria are 

applied and the steps taken in 

performing transmission planning 

studies); and 

• A detailed evaluation of the 

respondent’s anticipated system 

performance as measured against its 

stated reliability criteria using its stated 

assessment practices. 

The FERC–715 enables the 

Commission to use the information as 

part of their regulatory oversight 

functions which includes: 

• The review of rates and charges; 

• The disposition of jurisdictional 

facilities; 

• The consolidation and mergers; 

• The adequacy of supply and; 

• Reliability of the nation’s 

transmission grid. 

The FERC–715 enables the 

Commission to facilitate and resolve 

transmission disputes. Additionally, the 

Office of Electric Reliability (OER) uses 

the FERC–715 data to help protect and 

improve the reliability and security of 

the nation’s bulk power system. OER 

oversees the development and review of 

mandatory reliability and security 

standards and ensures compliance with
