environmental impact statement (EIS) 

for the East Lateral XPress Project 

(Project), proposed by Columbia Gulf 

Transmission, LLC (Columbia Gulf) in 

Jefferson, Plaquemines, St. Mary, and 

Lafourche Parishes, Louisiana. The EIS 

will tier off Commission staff’s 

Environmental Assessment (EA) and its 

findings and conclusions for the Project 

issued on March 16, 2021, and respond 

to comments filed on the EA.1 The EIS 

will assist the Commission in its 

consideration of the Project’s 

contribution to climate change and its 

decision-making process to determine 

whether Columbia Gulf’s proposed 

Project is in the public convenience and 

necessity. The schedule for preparation 

of the EIS is discussed in the ‘‘Schedule 

for Environmental Review’’ section of 

this notice. 

The National Environmental Policy Act 

Process 

The production of the EIS is part of 

the Commission’s overall National 

Environmental Policy Act review 

process. Commission staff will 

independently analyze the proposed 

Project and prepare a draft EIS, which 

will be issued for public comment. 

Commission staff will consider all 

timely comments received during the 

comment period on the draft EIS and 

revise the document, as necessary, 

before issuing a final EIS. Any draft and 

final EIS will be available in electronic 

format in the public record through 

eLibrary 2 and the Commission’s natural 

gas environmental documents web page 

(https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/ 

natural-gas/environment/ 

environmental-documents). 

Schedule for Environmental Review 

This notice identifies the Commission 

staff’s planned schedule for completion 

of a final EIS for the Project, which is 

based on an issuance of the draft EIS in 

June 2021. 

Issuance of Notice of Availability of the 

final EIS—September 17, 2021 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline—December 16, 2021
