Freeport LNG Development, L.P.;
Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the
Proposed Freeport LNG Export and
Bog Liquefaction and Truck Delivery
Facilities Projects and Request for
Comments on Environmental Issues
January 12, 2009.
The staff of the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) that will
address the environmental impacts of
the Freeport LNG Export Project (Export
Project) and Bog Liquefaction and Truck
Delivery Facilities Project (BOG/Truck
Project) collective called the Freeport
Projects proposed by Freeport LNG
Development, L.P. (Freeport LNG) in
Brazoria County, Texas.1 This EA will
be used by the Commission in its
decision-making process to determine
whether or not to authorize the
projects.2
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process we 3 will use to
gather environmental input from the
public and interested agencies on the
projects. Your input will help the
Commission staff determine which
issues need to be addressed.
This notice is being sent to affected
landowners; federal, state, and local
government representatives and
agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries
and newspapers. State and local
government representatives are asked to
notify their constituents of this planned
project and encourage them to comment
on their areas of concern.
Summary of the Proposed Projects
1 The
Commission directed that a technical
conference be held to address the issues raised by
Tuscarora’s October 1, 2008 tariff filing in this
proceeding. Tuscarora Gas Transmission Co., 125
FERC ¶ 61,133 (2008). The technical conference was
originally scheduled for December 11, 2008. At the
request of the active parties, the Commission issued
a notice on December 8, 2008, that postponed the
date of the technical conference to January 15, 2009.
2 Given agreement in principle among the active
parties, Tuscarora agrees not to move into effect the
tariff sheets previously suspended by the
Commission in this proceeding prior to June 1,
2009. This deferral of the effectiveness of the
suspended tariff sheets will afford time for a
possible settlement to be filed and considered by
the Commission.

Export Project
The purpose of the project is to add
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export
1 During routine terminal operations, ambient
heat in the LNG storage tanks and piping causes
small amount of LNG to evaporate. The vaporizing
LNG is referred to as BOG or boil-off gas. The BOG
increases the storage tank pressure until a point
where it must be transferred, flared, or re-liquefied.
2 On November 19, and December 9, 2008,
Freeport LNG filed its applications with the
Commission under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act
and Part 157 of the Commission’s regulations. The
Commission issued its Notices of Application on
December 2, and 16, 2009.
3 ‘We,’ ‘us,’ and ‘our’ refer to the environmental
staff of the FERC’s Office of Energy Projects.
