Black Bayou Gas Storage, LLC; Notice of Revised Schedule for 
Environmental Review of the Black Bayou Gas Storage Project

    This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
staff's revised schedule for the completion of the environmental 
assessment (EA) for Black Bayou Gas Storage, LLC's Black Bayou Gas 
Storage Project.\1\ The first notice of schedule, issued on October 2, 
2024, identified February 14, 2025, as the EA issuance date. However, 
additional time is required for Black Bayou Gas Storage, LLC to file 
complete responses to staff's environmental information requests, and 
for staff to review those responses. As a result, staff has revised the 
schedule for issuance of the EA based on an expected receipt of all 
outstanding information by December 31, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality's 
regulations, the unique identification number for documents relating 
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1726746869. 40 CFR 
1502.4(e)(10)(2024).

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of the EA--April 18, 2025
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline \2\--July 17, 2025

    \2\ The Commission's deadline applies to the decisions of other 
federal agencies, and state agencies acting under federally 
delegated authority, that are responsible for federal 
authorizations, permits, and other approvals necessary for proposed

Commission's deadline for other agency's decisions applies unless a
