LNG Development Company, LLC and Oregon Pipeline Company; 
Northwest Pipeline GP; Notice of Extension of Comment Period for the 
Oregon LNG Export and Washington Expansion Projects

    This notice announces the extension of the public scoping process 
and comment period for the Oregon LNG Export Project proposed by LNG 
Development Company, LLC and Oregon Pipeline Company (collectively 
referred to as Oregon LNG), in Docket No. PF12-18-000 and the 
Washington Expansion Project proposed by Northwest Pipeline GP 
(Northwest), in Docket No. PF12-20-000. Please note that the scoping 
period will now close on December 24, 2012.
    On September 24, 2012, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(FERC or Commission) issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an 
Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Oregon LNG Export 
Project and Washington Expansion Project, Request for Comments on 
Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public Scoping Meetings (NOI). The 
NOI solicited comments on the potential environmental impacts of the 
proposed projects and announced the times and locations of eight public 
meetings. The public scoping meetings were held the week of October 15, 
2012. The environmental comments received will allow the FERC staff and 
staffs of cooperating agencies to focus attention on issues important 
to the public during our preparation of an Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) for the projects.
    You can submit written comments to the Commission. In order for 
your written comments to be considered and addressed in the EIS, they 
should be properly filed with the Commission. There are three methods
