The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Cheniere Creole Trail Pipeline, L.P. (Creole Trail) and referred to as the Segment 1 Amendment Project or Project. The Segment 1 Project is an amendment to the Creole Trail LNG Terminal and Pipeline Project proposed in Docket Nos. CP05–357–000 and CP05–360–000 and approved in an order issued by the Commission on June 15, 2006 (Order). The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The staff VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:57 Jan 05, 2007 Jkt 211001 concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. This EA addresses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the following facilities in Cameron Parish, Louisiana: • Approximately 18.1 miles of a single, bi-directional, 42-inch-diameter pipeline extending from the end of the approved Cheniere Sabine Pass Pipeline, L.P. (SPP) pipeline in Johnson Bayou to the beginning of the approved Creole Trail pipeline system. • Associated aboveground facilities, including a Metering and Regulation Facility, a launcher/receiver and mainline valve at Johnson Bayou; a mainline valve at milepost (MP) 8.0; and a mainline valve and launcher/receiver at the end of the pipeline at MP 18.1. The purpose of the proposed facilities would be to provide access to new, competitively priced liquefied natural gas supplies in response to the growing demand for natural gas in southern Louisiana and throughout the United States. Specifically, the Segment 1 Amendment Project would provide increased access to downstream markets and additional sources of supply for shippers on the approved SPP and Creole Trail pipeline systems. The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC.

Amendment Project

December 27, 2006.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the 
construction and operation of natural gas pipeline facilities proposed 
by Cheniere Creole Trail Pipeline, L.P. (Creole Trail) and referred to 
as the Segment 1 Amendment Project or Project. The Segment 1 Project is 
an amendment to the Creole Trail LNG Terminal and Pipeline Project 
proposed in Docket Nos. CP05-357-000 and CP05-360-000 and approved in 
an order issued by the Commission on June 15, 2006 (Order).
    The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National 
Environmental Policy Act. The staff concludes that approval of the 
proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not

of the human environment.
    This EA addresses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the following facilities in Cameron 
Parish, Louisiana:
     Approximately 18.1 miles of a single, bi-directional, 42-
inch-diameter pipeline extending from the end of the approved Cheniere 
Sabine Pass Pipeline, L.P. (SPP) pipeline in Johnson Bayou to the 
beginning of the approved Creole Trail pipeline system.
     Associated aboveground facilities, including a Metering 
and Regulation Facility, a launcher/receiver and mainline valve at 
Johnson Bayou; a mainline valve at milepost (MP) 8.0; and a mainline 
valve and launcher/receiver at the end of the pipeline at MP 18.1.
    The purpose of the proposed facilities would be to provide access 
to new, competitively priced liquefied natural gas supplies in response 
to the growing demand for natural gas in southern Louisiana and 
throughout the United States. Specifically, the Segment 1 Amendment 
Project would provide increased access to downstream markets and 
additional sources of supply for shippers on the approved SPP and 
Creole Trail pipeline systems.
    The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC. A limited 
number of copies of the EA are available for distribution and public
