On February 10, 2017, the 

Commission staff granted Jordan Cove’s 

request to utilize the Pre-Filing Process 

and assigned Docket No. PF17–4–000 to 

staff activities involved with Jordan 

Cove’s LNG Terminal and the Pacific 

Connector. Now, as of the filing of the 

application on September 21, 2017, the 

Pre-Filing Process for this project has 

ended. From this time forward, this 

proceeding will be conducted in Docket 

No. CP17–495–000 for the Jordan Cove 

Energy Project and in Docket No. CP17– 

494–000 for the Pacific Connector, as 

noted in the caption of this Notice. 

Within 90 days after the Commission 

issues a Notice of Application for the 

applications in the two instant dockets, 

the Commission staff will issue a Notice 

of Schedule for Environmental Review 

that will indicate the anticipated date 

for the Commission’s staff issuance of 

the final EIS analyzing both proposals. 

The issuance of a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review will also 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 final EIS. 

There are two ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project. First, any person wishing to 

obtain legal status by becoming a party 

to the proceedings for this project 

should, before the comment date of this 

notice, file with the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426, a motion to 

intervene in accordance with the 

requirements of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 

385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations 

under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A 

person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and 

will receive copies of all documents 

filed by the applicant and by all other 

parties. A party must submit 7 copies of 

filings made with the Commission and 

must mail a copy to the applicant and 

to every other party in the proceeding. 

Only parties to the proceeding can ask 

for court review of Commission orders 

in the proceeding. 

However, a person does not have to 

intervene in order to have comments 

considered. The second way to 

participate is by filing with the 

Secretary of the Commission, as soon as 

possible, an original and two copies of 

comments in support of or in opposition 

to this project. The Commission will 

consider these comments in 

determining the appropriate action to be 

taken, but the filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. The Commission’s 

rules require that persons filing 

comments in opposition to the project 

provide copies of their protests only to 

the party or parties directly involved in 

the protest. 

The Commission strongly encourages 

electronic filings of comments, protests, 

and interventions via the internet in lieu 

of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) 

and the instructions on the 

Commission’s Web site (www.ferc.gov) 

under the e-Filing link. Persons unable 

to file electronically should submit an 

original and 5 copies of the protest or 

intervention to the Federal Energy 

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street 

NE., Washington, DC 20426. 

Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern 

Time on October 26, 2017. 

Dated: October 5, 2017.

Secretary.
