The proposed project is known as the Cameron LNG Terminal Expansion Project (Project), and would increase the terminal’s capability to liquefy natural gas for export by 515 billion cubic feet per year. On October 13, 2015, 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. 20:01 Jan 14, 2016 Cameron LNG, LLC’s Project would add an additional LNG storage tank (Tank 5) and two new systems to liquefy natural gas (Trains 4 and 5) to its existing LNG Terminal in Cameron and Calcasieu Parishes, Louisiana.
