Because the environmental review of Oregon LNG’s Bidirectional Project must also include Northwest’s connecting supply pipeline to the LNG terminal, the Commission cannot begin preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, until Pacific Connector’s application is filed. Within 90 days after the Commission issues a Notice of Application for the Northwest application, the Commission staff will issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review that will indicate the anticipated date for the Commission’s staff issuance of the final EIS analyzing both proposals. The issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will also serve to notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff’s final EIS.
