the Shadura Natural Gas Development
Project (Project), which would involve
construction and operation of facilities
associated with the exploration and

statement (EIS) under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and
its implementation regulations for the
application. We are publishing this
notice in compliance with NEPA
