DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP16–480–000] 

Notice of Availability of the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement for 

the Proposed Annova LNG Brownsville 

Project: Annova LNG Common 

Infrastructure, LLC, Annova LNG 

Brownsville A, LLC, Annova LNG 

Brownsville B, LLC, Annova LNG 

Brownsville C, LLC 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) has prepared a draft 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the Annova LNG Brownsville Project 

(referred to as the Annova LNG Project, 

or Project). Annova LNG Common 

Infrastructure LLC, Annova LNG 

Brownsville A LLC, Annova LNG 

Brownsville B LLC, and Annova LNG 

Brownsville C, LLC (collectively 

referred to as Annova LNG) request 

authorization to site, construct, and 

operate liquefied natural gas (LNG) 

export facilities on the Brownsville Ship 

Channel in Cameron County, Texas. The 

Project would include a new LNG 

export terminal capable of producing up 

to 6.95 million metric tons per year of 

LNG for export. The LNG terminal 

would receive natural gas to the export 

facilities from an as-yet undetermined 

third-party intrastate pipeline. 

The draft EIS assesses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

Project in accordance with the 

requirements of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The 

FERC staff concludes that approval of 

the Project would result in some adverse 

environmental impacts. However, with 

the mitigation measures recommended 

in the EIS and Annova’s proposed 

mitigation measures, impacts in the 

Project area would be avoided or 

minimized, and would not be 

significant. In addition, the Annova 

LNG Project, combined with other 

projects in the geographic scope, 

including the Texas LNG and Rio 

Grande LNG Projects, would result in 

certain significant cumulative impacts. 

Construction and operation of the 

Project would result in mostly 

temporary or short-term environmental 

impacts; however, some long-term and 

permanent environmental impacts 

would occur. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; 

U.S. Coast Guard; U.S. Department of 

Transportation; U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency; U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service; National Parks Service; 

the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration, National Marine 

Fisheries Service; Federal Aviation 

Administration; and U.S. Department of 

Energy participated as cooperating 

agencies in the preparation of the EIS. 

Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction 

by law or special expertise with respect 

to resources potentially affected by the 

proposal and participate in the NEPA 

analysis. Although the cooperating 

agencies provided input to the 

conclusions and recommendations 

presented in the draft EIS, the agencies 

will present their own conclusions and 

recommendations in their respective 

Records of Decision for the project. 

The draft EIS addresses the potential 

environmental effects of the 

construction and operation of the 

following Project facilities: 

• Pipeline meter station; 

• Liquefaction facilities; 

• Two LNG storage tanks; 

• Marine and LNG transfer facilities; 

• Control room, administration/ 

maintenance building; 

• Site access road; and 

• Utilities (power, water, and 

communication systems). 

The Commission mailed a copy of the 

Notice of Availability to federal, state, 

and local government representatives 

and agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; 

potentially affected landowners and 

other interested individuals and groups; 

and newspapers and libraries in the 

Project area. The draft EIS is only 

available in electronic format. It may be 

viewed and downloaded from the

important that the Commission receive 

your comments on or before 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on February 4, 2019. 

For your convenience, there are four 

methods you can use to submit your 

comments to the Commission. The 

Commission will provide equal 

consideration to all comments received, 

whether filed in written form or 

provided verbally. The Commission 

encourages electronic filing of 

comments and has staff available to 

assist you at (866) 208–3676 or 

FercOnlineSupport@ferc.gov. Please 

carefully follow these instructions so 

that your comments are properly 

recorded. 

(1) You can file your comments 

electronically using the eComment 

feature on the Commission’s website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to 

Documents and Filings. This is an easy 

method for submitting brief, text-only

(2) You can file your comments 

electronically by using the eFiling 

feature on the Commission’s website 

(www.ferc.gov) under the link to 

Documents and Filings. With eFiling, 

you can provide comments in a variety 

of formats by attaching them as a file 

with your submission. New eFiling 

users must first create an account by 

clicking on eRegister. If you are filing a 

comment on a particular project, please 

select ‘‘Comment on a Filing’’ as the 

filing type; or 

(3) You can file a paper copy of your

the project docket number (CP16–480– 

000) with your submission: Kimberly D. 

Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426. 

(4) In lieu of sending written or 

electronic comments, the Commission 

invites you to attend the public 

comment session its staff will conduct 

in the project area to receive comments 

on the draft EIS, scheduled as follows: 

Date and time Location 

Thursday, January 10, 2019, 5:00–9:00 p.m. 

CST.

Port Isabel Convention Center, 309 E. Railroad Ave, Port Isabel, TX 78578, 956–433–7195. 

The primary goal of the comment 

session is to have you identify the 

specific environmental issues and 

concerns with the draft EIS. Individual 

verbal comments will be taken on a oneon-one basis with a court reporter. This 

format is designed to receive the 

maximum amount of verbal comments, 

in a convenient way during the 

timeframe allotted. 

The comment session is scheduled 

from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. CST. You 

may arrive at any time after 5:00 p.m. 

There will not be a formal presentation 

by Commission staff when the session 

opens. If you wish to speak, the 

Commission staff will hand out 

numbers in the order of your arrival. 

Comments will be taken until the 

closing hour for the comment session. 

However, if no additional numbers have 

been handed out and all individuals 

who wish to provide comments have 

had an opportunity to do so, staff may 

conclude the session 30 minutes before 

the closing hour. Please see appendix 1 

for additional information on the 

session format and conduct.1

Your verbal comments will be 

recorded by the court reporter (with 

FERC staff or representative present) 

and become part of the public record for 

this proceeding. Transcripts will be 

publicly available on FERC’s eLibrary 

system (see page 2 for instructions on 

using eLibrary). If a significant number 

of people are interested in providing 

verbal comments in the one-on-one 

settings, a time limit of 5 minutes may 

be implemented for each commenter. 

It is important to note that verbal 

comments hold the same weight as 

written or electronically submitted 

comments. Although there will not be a 

formal presentation, Commission staff 

will be available throughout the 

comment session to answer your 

questions about the environmental 

review process. 

Any person seeking to become a party 

to the proceeding must file a motion to 

intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedures (18 CFR part 385.214). 

Motions to intervene are more fully 

described at http://www.ferc.gov/ 

resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp. 

Only intervenors have the right to seek 

rehearing or judicial review of the 

Commission’s decision. The 

Commission grants affected landowners 

and others with environmental concerns 

intervenor status upon showing good 

cause by stating that they have a clear 

and direct interest in this proceeding 

which no other party can adequately 

represent. Simply filing environmental 

comments will not give you intervenor 

status, but you do not need intervenor 

status to have your comments 

considered.

Additional information about the 

project is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs, 

at (866) 208–FERC, or on the FERC 

website (www.ferc.gov) using the

provides access to the texts of all formal 

documents issued by the Commission, 

such as orders, notices, and 

rulemakings. 

In addition, the Commission offers a 

free service called eSubscription that 

allows you to keep track of all formal 

issuances and submittals in specific 

dockets. This can reduce the amount of 

time you spend researching proceedings 

by automatically providing you with 

notification of these filings, document 

summaries, and direct links to the 

documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/docsfiling/esubscription.asp.

Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice the 

Commission staff will either: Complete 

its environmental assessment (EA) and 

place it into the Commission’s public 

record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or 

issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is 

issued, it will indicate, among other 

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the EA 

for this proposal. The filing of the EA 

in the Commission’s public record for 

this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and 

state agencies of the timing for the 

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s EA. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, on or before the comment date 

stated below file with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 

First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426, 

a motion to intervene in accordance 

with the requirements of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) 

and the Regulations under the NGA (18 

CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party 

status will be placed on the service list 

maintained by the Secretary of the 

Commission and will receive copies of 

all documents filed by the applicant and 

by all other parties. A party must submit 

7 copies of filings made in the 

proceeding with the Commission and 

must mail a copy to the applicant and 

to every other party. Only parties to the 

proceeding can ask for court review of 

Commission orders in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

Persons who wish to comment only 

on the environmental review of this 

project should submit an original and 

two copies of their comments to the 

Secretary of the Commission. 

Environmental commentors will be 

placed on the Commission’s 

environmental mailing list, will receive 

copies of the environmental documents, 

and will be notified of meetings 

associated with the Commission’s 

environmental review process. 

Environmental commentors will not be 

required to serve copies of filed 

documents on all other parties. 

However, the non-party commentors 

will not receive copies of all documents 

filed by other parties or issued by the 

Commission (except for the mailing of 

environmental documents issued by the 

Commission) and will not have the right 

to seek court review of the 

Commission’s final order. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests 

and interventions in lieu of paper using 

the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at http://

www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file 

electronically should submit an original 

and 5 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE, Washington, DC 20426.
