[[Page 57550]]

staff has prepared this final General Conformity Determination (GCD) 
for the Freeport LNG Liquefaction and Phase II Modification Projects 
(collectively called Projects) to ensure that the Projects do not 
violate the Texas State Implementation Plan and address the potential 
air quality impacts associated with the construction and operation of 
liquefied natural gas facilities proposed by Freeport LNG Development, 
L.P., FLNG Liquefaction, LLC, FLNG Liquefaction 2, LLC, and FLNG 
Liquefaction 3, LLC (collectively known as Freeport LNG).
    The FERC staff concludes that the Projects will achieve conformity 
with the Texas State Implementation Plan and has received concurrence 
from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
    Freeport LNG's development is composed of multiple components in 
Brazoria County, Texas. The main Liquefaction Plant, located on 
Quintana Island, will be three propane pre-cooled mixed refrigerant 
trains, each with a capacity of 4.4 million metric tons per year of 
liquefied natural gas (LNG) for export, which equates to a total 
liquefaction capacity of approximately 1.8 billion cubic feet per day 
of natural gas. The trains and their support facilities are 
collectively referred to as the Liquefaction Plant.
    In addition to the Liquefaction Plant described above, Freeport LNG 
proposes to construct various facilities, both at and adjacent to the 
Quintana Island Terminal and beyond Quintana Island, to support the 
liquefaction and export operation. These facilities include a natural 
gas Pretreatment Plant located about 3.5 miles north of the Terminal, 
and several interconnecting pipelines and utility lines called the 
Pipeline/Utility Line System.
    In addition, for additional information on the Projects, the public
