Texas Eastern Transmission, L.P.; Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review of the Cameron Extension Project

    On September 26, 2019, Texas Eastern Transmission, L.P. (Texas 
Eastern) filed an application in Docket No. CP19-512-000 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 in Louisiana. The proposed project is known as 
the Cameron Extension Project (Project), and would provide 750 million 
cubic feet per day of firm transportation service.
    On October 9, 2019, 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 9, 2020.
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--June 7, 2020.

    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

    Texas Eastern proposes to construct and operate a new compressor 
station (East Calcasieu Compressor Station) in Calcasieu Parish, 
Louisiana. The new compressor station is comprised of one 30,000 ISO-
rated horsepower, natural gas-driven turbine compressor unit and 
related appurtenances. The Project would also consist of three new 
delivery meter and regulatory stations in Cameron, Beauregard, and 
Jefferson Davis Parishes, Louisiana; installation of 0.2 mile of 30-
inch-diameter piping to interconnect with TransCameron Pipeline, LLC's 
pipeline system in Cameron Parish, Louisiana; installation of 
miscellaneous equipment at the Gillis Compressor Station in Beauregard 
Parish, Louisiana; modifications to existing internal pipeline 
inspection launcher and receiver facilities and two new bypass 
facilities at existing sites along Texas Eastern's Line 41; and other 
related auxiliary facilities and appurtenances.

Background

    On November 8, 2019, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to 
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Cameron Extension 
Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues (NOI). The NOI
