ACTION: Notice of intent; notice of public 

meeting; request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), 

in coordination with the Maritime 

Administration (MARAD), will prepare 

an environmental impact statement 

(EIS) as part of the environmental 

review of the Texas Gulf Terminals, Inc. 

(TGTI) deepwater port license 

application. The application proposes 

the ownership, construction, operation 

and eventual decommissioning of an 

offshore oil export deepwater port that 

would be located in Federal waters 

approximately 12.7 nautical miles off 

the coast of Corpus Christi, Texas in a 

water depth of approximately 93 feet. 

The deepwater port would allow for the 

loading of Very Large Crude Carriers 

(VLCCs) via a single point mooring buoy 

system. 

This Notice of Intent (NOI) requests 

public participation in the scoping 

process, provides information on how to 

participate and announces an 

informational open house and public 

meeting in Texas. Pursuant to the 

criteria provided in the Deepwater Port 

Act of 1974, as amended, 33 U.S.C. 1501 

et seq. (the Act), Texas is the designated
