Commission 

[Docket No. CP24–1–000] 

Cameron Interstate Pipeline, LLC; 

Notice of Schedule for the Preparation 

of an Environmental Assessment for 

the Holbrook Expansion Project 

On October 4, 2023, Cameron 

Interstate Pipeline, LLC filed an 

application in Docket No. CP24–1–000 

requesting a Certificate of Public 

Convenience and Necessity pursuant to 

section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to 

construct and operate certain natural gas 

facilities. The proposed project is 

known as the Holbrook Expansion 

Project (Project), and it would provide 

about 1.1 billion cubic feet of additional 

natural gas transportation capacity per 

day to Cameron LNG, LLC’s liquefied 

natural gas (LNG) export facility in 

Cameron Parish, Louisiana. 

On October 19, 2023, the Federal 

Energy Regulatory Commission 

(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice 

of Application for the Project. Among 

other things, that notice alerted agencies 

issuing federal authorizations of the 

requirement to complete all necessary 

reviews and to reach a final decision on 

a request for a federal authorization 

within 90 days of the date of issuance 

of the Commission staff’s environmental 

document for the Project. 

This notice identifies Commission 

staff’s intention to prepare an 

environmental assessment (EA) for the 

Project and the planned schedule for the 

completion of the environmental 

review.1

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA April 19, 2024 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline 2 July 18, 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 

Cameron Interstate Pipeline, LLC 

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 consist of the following facilities: 

• one new 42,000-horsepower natural 

gas turbine compressor unit (in a new 

compressor building); 

• one new 5,350-horsepower natural 

gas reciprocating compressor unit (in an 

existing compressor building); 

• 1,100-foot-long, 36-inch-diameter 

discharge header pipeline; 

• one new warehouse; and 

• associated ancillary and auxiliary 

equipment. 

Cameron Interstate Pipeline, LLC 

would also use a temporary laydown 

yard, workspace, and existing access 

road. 

Background 

On November 13, 2023, the 

Commission issued a Notice of Scoping 

Period Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed

state, and local government agencies; 

elected officials; environmental and 

public interest groups; Native American 

tribes; other interested parties; and local 

libraries and newspapers. All
