DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

Federal Energy Regulatory 

Commission 

[Docket No. CP16–121–000] 

National Grid LNG, LLC; Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review of 

the Fields Point Liquefaction Project 

On April 1, 2016, National Grid LNG, 

LLC (National Grid) filed an application 

in Docket No. CP16–121–000 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 

Fields Point Liquefaction Project 

(Project), and would involve National 

Grid constructing a natural gas 

liquefaction facility at its existing Fields 

Point liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage 

facility in Providence, Rhode Island. 

On April 15, 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—March 30, 2018 

90-Day Federal Authorization Decision 

Deadline—June 28, 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 

The Project would give National 

Grid’s customers, Narragansett Electric 

Company (Narragansett) and Boston Gas 

Company, the ability to deliver gas in 

vapor form for storage in National Grid’s 

existing storage tank using an existing 

12-inch-diameter pipeline owned by 

Narragansett. The Project would consist 

of an electric powered booster 

compressor, pretreatment system, gas 

regeneration heater, and liquefaction 

train including heat exchangers cooled 

by a closed loop nitrogen refrigeration 

cycle. The Project would not change the 

capacity of the existing LNG storage 

tank or facility. 

Background 

On September 25, 2015, the 

Commission issued a Notice of Intent to 

Prepare an Environmental Assessment 

for the Planned Fields Point 

Liquefaction Project, Request for 

Comments on Environmental Issues,

(NOI). The NOI was issued during the 

pre-filing review of the Project in Docket

landowners; federal, state, and local 

government agencies; elected officials; 

environmental and public interest
