Commission 

[Docket No. CP24–1–000] 

Cameron Interstate Pipeline, LLC; 

Notice of Scoping Period Requesting 

Comments on Environmental Issues 

for the Proposed Holbrook Expansion 

Project 

The staff of the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission (FERC or 

Commission) will prepare an 

environmental document, that will 

discuss the environmental impacts of 

the Holbrook Expansion Project 

involving construction and operation of 

facilities by Cameron Interstate Pipeline, 

LLC (CIP) in Calcasieu Parish, 

Louisiana. The Commission will use 

this environmental document in its 

decision-making process to determine 

whether the project is in the public 

convenience and necessity. 

This notice announces the opening of 

the scoping process the Commission 

will use to gather input from the public 

and interested agencies regarding the 

project. As part of the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) 

review process, the Commission takes 

into account concerns the public may 

have about proposals and the 

environmental impacts that could result 

from its action whenever it considers 

the issuance of a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity. This 

gathering of public input is referred to 

as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the 

scoping process is to focus the analysis 

in the environmental document on the 

important environmental issues. 

Additional information about the 

Commission’s NEPA process is 

described below in the NEPA Process 

and Environmental Document section of 

this notice. 

By this notice, the Commission 

requests public comments on the scope 

of issues to address in the 

environmental document. To ensure 

that your comments are timely and 

properly recorded, please submit your 

comments so that the Commission 

receives them in Washington, DC on or 

before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on 

December 13, 2023. Comments may be 

submitted in written form. Further 

details on how to submit comments are 

provided in the Public Participation 

section of this notice. 

Your comments should focus on the 

potential environmental effects, 

reasonable alternatives, and measures to 

avoid or lessen environmental impacts. 

Your input will help the Commission 

staff determine what issues they need to

evaluate in the environmental 

document. Commission staff will 

consider all written comments during 

the preparation of the environmental 

document. 

If you submitted comments on this 

project to the Commission before the 

opening of this docket on October 4, 

2023, you will need to file those 

comments in Docket No. CP24–1–000 to 

ensure they are considered as part of 

this proceeding. 

This notice is being sent to the 

Commission’s current environmental 

mailing list for this project. State and 

local government representatives should 

notify their constituents of this 

proposed project and encourage them to 

comment on their areas of concern. 

If you are a landowner receiving this 

notice, a pipeline company 

representative may contact you about 

the acquisition of an easement to 

construct, operate, and maintain the 

proposed facilities. The company would 

seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable 

easement agreement. You are not 

required to enter into an agreement. 

However, if the Commission approves 

the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys 

the right of eminent domain to the 

company. Therefore, if you and the 

company do not reach an easement 

agreement, the pipeline company could 

initiate condemnation proceedings in 

court. In such instances, compensation 

would be determined by a judge in 

accordance with state law. The 

Commission does not subsequently 

grant, exercise, or oversee the exercise 

of that eminent domain authority. The 

courts have exclusive authority to 

handle eminent domain cases; the 

Commission has no jurisdiction over 

these matters. 

CIP provided landowners with a fact 

sheet prepared by the FERC entitled 

‘‘An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On 

My Land? What Do I Need To Know?’’ 

which addresses typically asked 

questions, including the use of eminent 

domain and how to participate in the 

Commission’s proceedings. This fact 

sheet along with other landowner topics 

of interest are available for viewing on 

the FERC website (www.ferc.gov) under 

the Natural Gas, Landowner Topics link.

Summary of the Proposed Project 

CIP proposes to construct and operate 

two new natural gas compressor units, 

and associated aboveground facilities, 

ancillary and auxiliary equipment at its 

existing Holbrook Compressor Station in 

Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The 

Holbrook Expansion Project would 

provide about 1.1 billion cubic feet of 

additional natural gas per day 

transportation capacity to the CIP 

system. According to CIP, its project 

would supply feed gas to the Cameron 

LNG Terminal (in Cameron Parish, 

Louisiana) to meet shippers’ 

incremental demand. 

The Holbrook Expansion Project 

would consist of the following facilities: 

• one new 42,000-horsepower natural 

gas compressor unit (in a new 

compressor building); 

• one new 5,350-horsepower gas 

turbine compressor unit (in an existing 

compressor building); 

• 1,100-foot-long 36-inch-diameter 

discharge header; 

• one new warehouse; 

• associated ancillary and auxiliary 

equipment; and 

• use of a temporary laydown yard, 

workspace, and existing access road. 

The general location of the project 

facilities is shown in appendix 1.1

Land Requirements for Construction 

Construction of the proposed facilities 

would disturb about 33.7 acres of land 

for the aboveground facilities and the 

discharge header. Following 

construction, CIP would maintain about 

19.7 acres for permanent operation of 

the project’s facilities; the remaining 

acreage would be restored and revert to 

former uses. About 2.4 acres of the 

operational area would be new 

permanent easement. 

NEPA Process and the Environmental 

Document 

Any environmental document issued 

by the Commission will discuss impacts 

that could occur as a result of the 

construction and operation of the 

proposed project under the relevant 

general resource areas: 

• geology and soils; 

• water resources and wetlands; 

• vegetation and wildlife; 

• threatened and endangered species; 

• cultural resources; 

• land use; 

• environmental justice; 

• air quality and noise; and 

• reliability and safety.

3The Council on Environmental Quality 

regulations addressing cooperating agency 

responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal 

Regulations, Section 1501.8. 

4The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation’s 

regulations are at title 36, Code of Federal 

Regulations, part 800. Those regulations define 

historic properties as any prehistoric or historic 

district, site, building, structure, or object included 

in or eligible for inclusion in the National Register 

of Historic Places. 

Commission staff will also evaluate 

reasonable alternatives to the proposed 

project or portions of the project and 

make recommendations on how to 

lessen or avoid impacts on the various 

resource areas. Your comments will 

help Commission staff identify and 

focus on the issues that might have an 

effect on the human environment and 

potentially eliminate others from further 

study and discussion in the 

environmental document. 

Following this scoping period, 

Commission staff will determine 

whether to prepare an Environmental 

Assessment (EA) or an Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS). The EA or the 

EIS will present Commission staff’s 

independent analysis of the issues. If 

Commission staff prepares an EA, a 

Notice of Schedule for the Preparation 

of an Environmental Assessment will be 

issued. The EA may be issued for an 

allotted public comment period. The 

Commission would consider timely 

comments on the EA before making its 

decision regarding the proposed project. 

If Commission staff prepares an EIS, a 

Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS/ 

Notice of Schedule will be issued, 

which will open up an additional 

comment period. Staff will then prepare 

a draft EIS which will be issued for 

public comment. Commission staff will 

consider all timely comments received 

during the comment period on the draft 

EIS and revise the document, as 

necessary, before issuing a final EIS. 

Any EA or draft and final EIS will be 

available in electronic format in the 

public record through eLibrary 2 and the 

Commission’s natural gas 

environmental documents web page 

(https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/ 

natural-gas/environment/ 

environmental-documents). If 

eSubscribed, you will receive instant 

email notification when the 

environmental document is issued. 

With this notice, the Commission is 

asking agencies with jurisdiction by law 

and/or special expertise with respect to 

the environmental issues of this project 

to formally cooperate in the preparation 

of the environmental document.3

Agencies that would like to request 

cooperating agency status should follow 

the instructions for filing comments 

provided under the Public Participation 

section of this notice.
