Commission 

[Docket No. CP17–8–000] 

Florida Gas Transmission Company, 

LLC; Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review of the EastWest Project 

On October 31, 2016 Florida Gas 

Transmission Company, LLC (FGT) filed 

an application in Docket No. CP17–8– 

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 East-West Project 

(Project), and would provide new 

capacity of 275 million cubic feet per 

day on FGT’s pipeline system in the 

western division to meet the demand for 

additional transportation and delivery 

of natural gas to the proposed Port 

Arthur—Motiva Meter and Regulator 

(M&R) Station and the Wilson—Coastal 

Bend M&R Station in Jefferson and 

Wharton Counties, Texas respectively. 

On November 9, 2016 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 

Assessment (EA) for the Project. This 

instant notice identifies the FERC staff’s 

planned schedule for the completion of 

the EA for the Project. 

Schedule for Environmental Review 

Issuance of EA, October 20, 2017 

90-day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline, January 18, 2018 

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 

FGT proposes to construct and 

operate about 13.3 miles of 12-inchdiameter lateral pipeline, about 12 miles 

16-inch-diameter lateral and connection 

pipeline, and four new meter stations 

and auxiliary and appurtenant facilities 

in Wharton, Matagorda, Jefferson, and 

Orange Counties, Texas, and Calcasieu 

and Acadia Parishes, Louisiana. 

Background 

On December 19, 2016 the 

Commission issued a Notice of Intent to 

Prepare an Environmental Assessment 

for the Proposed East-West Project and 

Request for Comments on 

Environmental Issues (NOI). The NOI 

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 NOI, the Commission received 

comments from one landowner and the 

Louisiana Department of Fisheries and 

Wildlife. The primary issues raised by 

the commentors are potential impacts 

on soils, wetlands, wildlife refuges, 

cultural resources, and the aging 

process/potential corrosion of the 

pipelines. 

Additional Information 

In order to receive notification of the 

issuance of the EA and to keep track of 

all formal issuances and submittals in 

specific dockets, the Commission offers
