DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP17–41–000] 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review of the Eagle LNG Partners 

Jacksonville, LLC Jacksonville Project 

On January 31, 2017, Eagle LNG 

Partners Jacksonville, LLC (Eagle LNG) 

filed an application with the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC 

or Commission) in Docket No. CP17– 

41–000 pursuant to section 3(a) of the 

Natural Gas Act and Parts 153 and 380 

of the Commission’s Regulations, 

requesting authorization to site, 

construct, and operate a natural gas 

liquefaction, storage, and liquefied 

natural gas (LNG) export facility. The 

proposed project, known as the 

Jacksonville Project, would consist of 

three liquefaction trains with a total 

capacity of 132 million cubic feet per 

day and one full containment LNG 

storage tank capable of storing 

12,000,000 gallons of LNG (equivalent 

to 1.0 billion cubic feet of natural gas), 

for domestic LNG markets and for 

export overseas. The terminal would 

receive natural gas to the export 

facilities from a third-party intrastate 

pipeline. On July 21, 2016, in Order No. 

3867, the U.S. Department of Energy, 

Office of Fossil Energy, granted to Eagle 

LNG a long-term, multi-contract 

authorization to export LNG to Free 

Trade Agreement nations. 

FERC issued its Notice of Application 

for the Jacksonville Project on February 

13, 2017. Among other things, that 

notice alerted other 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 final 

environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the Jacksonville Project. This notice 

identifies the FERC staff’s planned 

schedule for completion of the final EIS 

for the Jacksonville Project, which is 

based on an issuance of the draft EIS in 

November 2018. The forecasted 

schedule for both the draft and final EIS 

is based upon Eagle LNG providing 

complete and timely responses to any 

future 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 Notice of Availability of the 

final EIS—April 12, 2019 

90-Day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline—July 11, 2019 

If a schedule change becomes 

necessary for the final EIS, an additional 

notice will be provided so that the 

relevant agencies are kept informed of 

project’s progress. 

Background 

On December 3, 2014, the 

Commission staff granted Eagle LNG’s 

request to use FERC’s pre-filing 

environmental review process and 

assigned the Jacksonville Project Docket 

No. PF15–7–000. On February 24, 2015, 

the Commission issued a Notice of 

Intent To Prepare an Environmental 

Impact Statement for the Planned 

Jacksonville Project, Request for 

Comments on Environmental Issues, 

and Notice of Public Scoping Meeting. 

On March 25, 2015, the Commission 

issued a Supplemental Notice to seek 

comments. The notices were issued 

during the pre-filing review of the 

project in Docket No. PF15–7–000 and 

were sent to federal, state, and local 

government representatives and 

agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest 

groups; Native American Tribes; 

affected property owners; other 

interested parties; and local libraries 

and newspapers. Major issues raised 

during scoping include visual impacts, 

threatened and endangered species, 

surface water and groundwater 

resources, air quality and noise, and 

safety. 

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

the U.S. Coast Guard, the U.S. 

Department of Transportation, and the 

U.S. Department of Energy are 

cooperating agencies in the preparation 

of the EIS. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EIS and to keep track of 

all formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets, the Commission offers 

a free service called eSubscription. This
