Commission 

[Docket Nos. CP18–7–000: PF17–5–000] 

Port Arthur Pipeline, LLC; Notice of 

Application 

Take notice that on October 16, 2017, 

Port Arthur Pipeline, LLC (Port Arthur 

Pipeline), 2925 Briarpark, Suite 900, 

Houston, Texas 77042, pursuant to 

Section 7(c) of the NGA, and Parts 157 

and 284 of the Commission’s 

regulations, filed an application 

requesting a certificate of public 

convenience and necessity to construct, 

own, and operate its Louisiana 

Connector Project. 

The Louisiana Connector Project 

consists of 131 miles of new 42-inchdiameter pipeline, a new 89,900 

horsepower compressor station, 

interconnection facilities with interstate 

and intrastate natural gas facilities, and 

other appurtenant facilities. The 

Louisiana Connector Project is designed 

to deliver up to 2,000 million cubic feet 

(MMcf) per day of natural gas to the 

Liquefaction Project that is currently 

being developed by Port Arthur LNG, 

LLC and PALNG Common Facilities 

Company, LLC and is under review by 

the Commission in Docket No. CP17– 

20–000. The Louisiana Connector 

Project facilities will extend from an 

interconnect with Columbia Gas 

Transmission located northeast of 

Eunice, Louisiana in St. Landry Parish 

through Evangeline, Allen, Beauregard, 

Calcasieu, and Cameron Parishes in 

Louisiana and Orange and Jefferson 

Counties in Texas and terminate at the 

proposed Liquefaction Project south of 

Port Arthur in Jefferson County, Texas. 

The cost of the proposed project is 

$1,207,584,005, all as more fully set 

forth in the application which is on file 

with the Commission and open to 

public inspection. The filing is available 

for review at the Commission in the 

Public Reference Room or may be

at FERCOnlineSupport@ferc.gov or call 

toll-free, (886) 208–3676 or TYY, (202) 

502–8659. 

On March 13, 2017, the Commission 

staff granted Port Arthur Pipeline’s 

request to utilize the Pre-Filing Process 

and assigned Docket No. PF17–5–000 to 

staff activities involved in the Louisiana 

Connector Project. Now, as of the filing 

of the October 16, 2017 application, the 

Pre-Filing Process for this project has 

ended. From this time forward, this 

proceeding will be conducted in Docket 

No. CP18–7–000, as noted in the caption 

of this Notice. 

Any questions regarding this 

application should be directed to Jerrod 

L. Harrison, Senior Counsel, Port Arthur 

Pipeline, 488 8th Avenue, San Diego, 

CA 9210, by phone at (619) 696–2987, 

or by email to jharrison@

Pursuant to section 157.9 of the 

Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 

within 90 days of this Notice, the 

Commission staff will 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) for this proposal. 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. 

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, on or before the comment date 

stated below, 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) 


ethrower on DSK3G9T082PROD with NOTICES
51234 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 212 / Friday, November 3, 2017 / Notices 

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 

five 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. 

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 five 

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 November 20, 2017.

evaluate in the EIS. To ensure that your 

comments are timely and properly 

recorded, please send your comments so 

that the Commission receives them in 

Washington, DC, on or before December 

6, 2017.
