[Docket No. CP19-19-000]

Magnolia LNG, LLC; Notice of Availability of the Final 
Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed; Magnolia 
LNG Production Capacity Amendment

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared a final supplemental environmental impact 
statement (EIS) for the Production Capacity Amendment, proposed by 
Magnolia LNG, LLC (Magnolia LNG) in the above-referenced docket. 
Magnolia LNG requests authorization to increase the liquefied natural 
gas (LNG) production capacity of the previously authorized Magnolia LNG 
Project in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana (Docket No. CP14-347-000) from 8 
million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 8.8 MTPA. The increased LNG 
production capacity would be achieved through the optimization of 
Magnolia LNG's final design for the terminal, including additional and 
modified process equipment.
    The final supplemental EIS assesses the potential changes to the 
air and noise emissions, and our reliability and safety engineering 
analyses associated with the construction and operation of the 
Production Capacity Amendment from what was presented in the final EIS 
in Docket No. CP14-347-000 for the Magnolia LNG Project. The FERC staff 
concludes that the proposed modifications, with the additional 
mitigation measures recommended in the supplemental EIS, would continue 
to avoid or reduce impacts to less than significant levels.
    The U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous 
Materials Safety Administration, the U.S. Coast Guard, and the U.S. 
Department of Energy participated as cooperating agencies in the 
preparation of the supplemental EIS. Cooperating agencies have 
jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources 
potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the analysis 
conducted under the National Environmental Policy Act.
    The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability for the 
final supplemental EIS to federal, state, and local government 
representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental and 
public interest groups; Native American tribes; potentially affected 
landowners and other interested individuals and groups; and newspapers 
and libraries in the project area. The final supplemental EIS is only 
available in electronic format. It may be viewed and downloaded from 
the FERC's website (www.ferc.gov), on the Environmental Documents page 
(https://www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/enviro/eis.asp). In addition, the 
final supplemental EIS may be accessed by using the eLibrary link on 
the FERC's website. Click on the eLibrary link (https://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/elibrary.asp), click on General Search, and enter the

    In addition, the Commission offers a free service called 
eSubscription that allows you to keep track of all formal issuances and 
submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time you 
spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with 
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to 
the documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp.
