natural gas pipeline facilities at the existing Temple Liquefied 
Natural Gas (LNG) Peak-shaving Facility in Berks County, Pennsylvania. 
The proposed project is known as the Temple Truck Rack Expansion 
Project (Project), and would allow UGI LNG, Inc. to more reliably serve 
the growing demand for truck deliveries by UGI Energy Services.
    On November 29, 2016, 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--September 18, 2018
90-Day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--December 17, 2018

    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

    UGI LNG, Inc. proposes to expand its existing Temple LNG truck 
loading facility by constructing two additional trailer loading/
unloading racks. The new facilities would consist of two racks with 
scales, trailer loading skid, pump skid, transfer piping, and 
associated equipment. The Project would also include constructing a new 
driveway connecting the expansion to Willow Creek Road. The Project is 
projected to increase truck volumes from an average of one to three 
trucks per day to an average of three to six trucks per day.

Background

    On January 23, 2017, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to 
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Temple Truck Rack 
Expansion Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues 
(NOI). The NOI was sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and 
local government agencies; elected officials; environmental and public 
interest groups; other interested parties; and local libraries and 
newspapers. In response to the NOI, the Commission received one public 
comment concerning increased traffic.
    The U.S. Department of Transportation is a cooperating agencies in 
the preparation of the EA.
