DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP24–8–000] 

Natural Gas Pipeline Company of 

America LLC; Notice of Schedule for 

the Preparation of an Environmental 

Assessment for the Texas-Louisiana 

Expansion Project 

On October 18, 2023, Natural Gas 

Pipeline Company of America LLC 

(Natural) filed an application in Docket 

No. CP24–8–000 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 pipeline facilities. The 

proposed project is known as the TexasLouisiana Expansion Project (Project) 

and would add an incremental 300,000 

dekatherms per day (Dth/day) of firm 

gas capacity in Segment 25 of Natural’s 

Louisiana Line 10. When combined 

with the unsubscribed capacity Natural 

has reserved for the Project, this would 

allow Natural to provide up to 467,000 

Dth/day of firm transportation service to 

the Project shippers. Natural states the 

Project would not result in the 

termination or reduction in firm service 

to any of its existing customers. 

On October 31, 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 June 6, 2024 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline 2 September 4, 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 Project would consist of the 

following facilities and activities: 

Modifications and Installations at 

Compressor Station 302 (CS 302) in 

Montgomery County, Texas 

• Uprate the horsepower (hp) of 

existing compressor controls to increase 

the horsepower of existing compressor 

Units 7 and 8 by 1,600 hp each, for a 

total of 3,200 hp; 

• Re-wheel existing compressor Units 

7, 8 and 9; and 

• Install one new electric motor 

driven (EMD) compressor unit with a 

rating of 18,340 hp. 

Modification at Compressor Station 343 

(CS 343) in Liberty County, Texas 

• Re-wheel existing EMD compressor 

Units 9 and 10. 

In addition, Natural has identified in 

its application certain appurtenant 

facilities that it intends to construct/ 

install under section 2.55(a) of the 

Commission’s regulations. 

Background 

On November 30, 2023, the 

Commission issued a Notice of Scoping 

Period Requesting Comments on 

Environmental Issues for the Proposed 

Texas-Louisiana Expansion Project 

(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 one comment from the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency. The 

primary issues raised by the commenter 

regarded air quality, water quality, 

Natural’s National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System, and environmental 

justice. All substantive comments will 

be addressed in the EA. 

No agencies requested to be 

cooperating agencies 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
