          - [Docket No. CP16-59-000]

Take notice that on January 15, 2016, Cheniere Corpus Christi Pipeline, L.P. (Cheniere Corpus Christi), 700 Milam Street, Suite 1900, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. CP16-59-000 a prior notice request pursuant to sections 157.205, 157.208 and 157.210 of the Commission's regulations under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) as amended, requesting authorization to install two electric motor drive (EMD) compressors and associated facilities at the previously authorized Sinton Compressor Station site at San Patricio County, Texas (Sinton Compressor Station EMD Project).

                    Cheniere Corpus Christi was granted authorization in Docket No. CP12-508-000 [1]                                          to construct its Corpus Christi Pipeline Project which included two compressor stations. Cheniere Corpus Christi states that the Taft Compressor Station is no longer needed and proposes to install approximately 29,600 horsepower (HP) of additional compression via two Solar EMD compressor units (14,800 HP each) at                           ( print page 5437)                        the Sinton Compressor Station. Cheniere Corpus Christi states that, as a result of the relocation of compression, neither the capacity nor the maximum allowable operating pressure of the Corpus Christi Pipeline will differ from what was authorized by the Commission in the Certificate.                

                    Cheniere Corpus Christi estimates the cost of the Sinton Compressor Station EMD Project to be approximately $30 million, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the web at                     *http://www.ferc.gov*                     using the “eLibrary” link.

                    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Patricia Outtrim, Cheniere Energy Inc., 700 Milam Street, Suite 1900, Houston, Texas 77002, by telephone at (713) 375-5000, by facsimile at (713) 375-6485, or by email at                     *pat.outtrim@cheniere.com.*

Any person or the Commission's staff may, within 60 days after issuance of the instant notice by the Commission, file pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Procedural Rules (18 CFR 385.214) a motion to intervene or notice of intervention and pursuant to section 157.205 of the regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.205), a protest to the request. If no protest is filed within the time allowed therefore, the proposed activity shall be deemed to be authorized effective the day after the time allowed for filing a protest. If a protest is filed and not withdrawn within 30 days after the allowed time for filing a protest, the instant request shall be treated as an application for authorization pursuant to section 7 of the NGA.

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.

Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings associated with the Commission's environmental review process. Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters, will not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court review of the Commission's final order.

                    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the “eFiling” link at                     *http://www.ferc.gov.*                     Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and seven copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426.                

Dated: January 21, 2016.

Nathaniel J. Davis, Sr.,

Deputy Secretary.
