construct, own, and operate a new LNG
export terminal and to construct, own,
and operate the 23.5-mile-long East
Lateral and 19.2-mile-long West Lateral.
The pipelines are designed to deliver
approximately 1,900,000 Dth/d of firm
transportation service. Project cost for
the pipelines is estimated at $344.5
million and negotiated rates are
proposed. The requested order date and
proposed pre-commercial in-service
date are September 1, 2016 and July 1,
2019 respectively.
On October 7, 2014, the Commission
staff granted Venture Global and
TransCameron request to utilize the PreFiling Process and assigned Docket No.
PF15–2–000 to staff activities involved
in the above referenced projects. Now,
as of the filing of the September 4, 2015
application, the Pre-Filing Process for
this project has ended. From this time
forward, this proceeding will be
conducted in Docket Nos. CP15–550–
000 and CP15–551–000, as noted in the
caption of this Notice.
Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the
Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice, the
Commission staff will issue a Notice of
Schedule for Environmental Review. If
a Notice of Schedule for Environmental
Review is issued, it will indicate, among
other milestones, the anticipated date
for the Commission staff’s issuance of
the final environmental impact
statement (FEIS) for this proposal. The
issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will 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 FEIS.
There are two ways to become
involved in the Commission’s review of
this project. First, any person wishing to
obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this project
should, on or before the comment date
stated below, file with the Federal
Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426,
a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211)
and the Regulations under the NGA (18
CFR 157.10). A person obtaining party
status will be placed on the service list
maintained by the Secretary of the
Commission and will receive copies of
all documents filed by the applicant and
by all other parties. A party must submit
five copies of filings made with the
Commission and must mail a copy to
the applicant and to every other party in

the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
However, a person does not have to
intervene in order to have comments
considered. The second way to
participate is by filing with the
Secretary of the Commission, as soon as
possible, an original and two copies of
comments in support of or in opposition
to this project. The Commission will
consider these comments in
determining the appropriate action to be
taken, but the filing of a comment alone
will not serve to make the filer a party
to the proceeding. The Commission’s
rules require that persons filing
comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to
the party or parties directly involved in
the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only
on the environmental review of this
project should submit an original and
two copies of their comments to the
Secretary of the Commission.
Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission’s
environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents,
and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission’s
environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be
required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties.
However, the non-party commentors
will not receive copies of all documents
filed by other parties or issued by the
Commission (except for the mailing of
environmental documents issued by the
Commission) and will not have the right
to seek court review of the
Commission’s final order.
The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings of comments, protests
and interventions in lieu of paper using
the ‘‘eFiling’’ link at https://
www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file
electronically should submit original
and five copies of the protest or
intervention to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street
NE., Washington, DC 20426.
Comment Date: 5 p.m. Eastern Time

for states and authorized tribes to adopt
water quality standards under the Clean
Water Act to protect aquatic life.
EPA is extending the public comment

Specifically, Venture Global and TransCameron propose to site,
construct, own, and operate a new LNG export terminal and to construct,
own, and operate the 23.5-mile-long East Lateral and 19.2-mile-long
West Lateral. The pipelines are designed to deliver approximately
1,900,000 Dth/d of firm transportation service. Project cost for the
pipelines is estimated at $344.5 million and negotiated rates are
proposed. The requested order date and proposed pre-commercial in-

On October 7, 2014, the Commission staff granted Venture Global and
TransCameron request to utilize the Pre-Filing Process and assigned
Docket No. PF15-2-000 to staff activities involved in the above
referenced projects. Now, as of the filing of the September 4, 2015

this time forward, this proceeding will be conducted in Docket Nos.
CP15-550-000 and CP15-551-000, as noted in the caption of this Notice.
Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission staff will issue a Notice
of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for this proposal. The

There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of

Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a

However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have

The Commission will consider these comments in determining the

not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments

not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
