70966 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 197 / Friday, October 13, 2023 / Notices 

2The 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. 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline 2—May 2, 2024 

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 amended facilities are 

specific to 38 locations in Jefferson 

County, Texas and Cameron, Calcasieu, 

Beauregard, and Allen Parishes, 

Louisiana (between milepost 0 in 

Jefferson County, Texas and milepost 

82.5 south of Reeves in Allen Parish, 

Louisiana), as detailed below: 

• Modifications to pipeline routes, 

construction methods, horizontal 

directional drill (HDD) entry points, and 

additional temporary workspaces to 

accommodate landowner requests, to 

reduce environmental impacts, to avoid 

newly identified non-Port Arthur 

pipelines, to avoid new structures, or to 

allow for safer construction access; 

• Shifting of pipeline easements to 

allow the permanent easements to abut 

other existing permanent easements; 

• Addition and modification of access 

roads for geotechnical boring access 

and/or to allow better and safer access 

to the HDD drill pad for construction 

and HDD inspection; 

• Modification of equipment and 

material storage areas and staging areas 

to utilize areas that were recently and 

permanently impacted by other parties; 

• Modification to water approaches to 

use existing boat ramp/dock 

improvements; 

• Relocation of mainline valves to 

reduce the amount of permanent rightof-way needed, to facilitate operations 

and maintenance, to provide for safer 

access via road, and to allow access to 

power and communications to comply 

with new and anticipated U.S. 

Department of Transportation/Pipeline 

and Hazardous Materials Safety 

Administration requirements; 

• Modification of three waterbody 

crossings methodologies from open cut 

to an HDD as requested by the U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers; 

• Combine, in two locations, multiple 

HDDs into a single HDD which would 

result in avoiding an open-cut crossing 

and eliminating an HDD; and 

• Modification of HDD alignments to 

avoid conflicts with potential future 

deeper canal depths. 

Background 

On August 9, 2023, the Commission 

issued a Notice of Scoping Period 

Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Louisiana Connector Pipeline 

Amendment (Notice of Scoping). The 

Notice of Scoping was sent to affected 

landowners; Federal, State, and local 

government agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American tribes; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. In response to the 

Notice of Scoping, the Commission 

received comments from the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA). The primary issues raised by the 

EPA are air quality, environmental 

justice, and National Pollutant 

Discharge Elimination System permits. 

All substantive comments will be 

addressed in the EA. The U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers is a cooperating 

agency in the preparation of the EA. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets, the Commission offers 

a free service called eSubscription. This 

service provides automatic notification 

of filings made to subscribed dockets, 

document summaries, and direct links 

to the documents. Go to https://

www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview to 

register for eSubscription. 

The Commission’s Office of Public 

Participation (OPP) supports meaningful 

public engagement and participation in 

Commission proceedings. OPP can help 

members of the public, including 

landowners, environmental justice 

communities, Tribal members and 

others, access publicly available 

information and navigate Commission 

processes. For public inquiries and 

assistance with making filings such as 

interventions, comments, or requests for 

rehearing, the public is encouraged to 

contact OPP at (202) 502–6595 or OPP@

ferc.gov. 

Additional information about the 

Amendment is available from the 

Commission’s Office of External Affairs 

at (866) 208–FERC or on the FERC 

website (www.ferc.gov). Using the 

‘‘eLibrary’’ link, select ‘‘General Search’’ 

from the eLibrary menu, enter the 

selected date range and ‘‘Docket
