Annova LNG Common Infrastructure LLC, Annova LNG VerDate Sep<11>2014 00:00 Dec 21, 2018 Jkt 247001 Brownsville A LLC, Annova LNG Brownsville B LLC, and Annova LNG Brownsville C, LLC (collectively referred to as Annova LNG) request authorization to site, construct, and operate liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities on the Brownsville Ship Channel in Cameron County, Texas. The Project would include a new LNG export terminal capable of producing up to 6.95 million metric tons per year of LNG for export. The LNG terminal would receive natural gas to the export facilities from an as-yet undetermined third-party intrastate pipeline. The draft EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the Project would result in some adverse environmental impacts. However, with the mitigation measures recommended in the EIS and Annova’s proposed mitigation measures, impacts in the Project area would be avoided or minimized, and would not be significant. In addition, the Annova LNG Project, combined with other projects in the geographic scope, including the Texas LNG and Rio Grande LNG Projects, would result in certain significant cumulative impacts. Construction and operation of the Project would result in mostly temporary or short-term environmental impacts; however, some long-term and permanent environmental impacts would occur.

Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission’s rules, 18 CFR 157.9, within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the Commission’s public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of VerDate Sep<11>2014 00:00 Dec 21, 2018 Jkt 247001 Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff’s issuance of the EA for this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission’s public record for this proceeding or 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 EA. 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 7 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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 an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20426.

Notice of Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact 
Statement for the Proposed Annova LNG Brownsville Project: Annova LNG 
Common Infrastructure, LLC, Annova LNG Brownsville A, LLC, Annova LNG 
Brownsville B, LLC, Annova LNG Brownsville C, LLC

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or 
Commission) has prepared a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) 
for the Annova LNG Brownsville Project (referred to as the Annova LNG 
Project, or Project). Annova LNG Common Infrastructure LLC, Annova LNG 
Brownsville A LLC, Annova LNG Brownsville B LLC, and Annova LNG 
Brownsville C, LLC (collectively referred to as Annova LNG) request 
authorization to site, construct, and operate liquefied natural gas 
(LNG) export facilities on the Brownsville Ship Channel in Cameron 
County, Texas. The Project would include a new LNG export terminal 
capable of producing up to 6.95 million metric tons per year of LNG for 
export. The LNG terminal would receive natural gas to the export 
facilities from an as-yet undetermined third-party intrastate pipeline.
    The draft EIS assesses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the Project in accordance with the 
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC 
staff concludes that approval of the Project would result in some 
adverse environmental impacts. However, with the mitigation measures 
recommended in the EIS and Annova's proposed mitigation measures, 
impacts in the Project area would be avoided or minimized, and would 
not be significant. In addition, the Annova LNG Project, combined with 
other projects in the geographic scope, including the Texas LNG and Rio 
Grande LNG Projects, would result in certain significant cumulative 
impacts. Construction and operation of the Project would result in 
mostly temporary or short-term environmental impacts; however, some 
long-term and permanent environmental impacts would occur.
    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; U.S. Coast Guard; U.S. Department 
of Transportation; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service; National Parks Service; the National Oceanic and 
Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service; Federal 
Aviation Administration; and U.S. Department of Energy participated as 
cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EIS. Cooperating 
agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to 
resources potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the 
NEPA analysis. Although the cooperating agencies provided input to the 
conclusions and recommendations presented in the draft EIS, the 
agencies will present their own conclusions and recommendations in 
their respective Records of Decision for the project.
    The draft EIS addresses the potential environmental effects of the 
construction and operation of the following Project facilities:
     Pipeline meter station;
     Liquefaction facilities;
     Two LNG storage tanks;
     Marine and LNG transfer facilities;
     Control room, administration/maintenance building;
     Site access road; and
     Utilities (power, water, and communication systems).
    The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability to 
federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; 
elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; Native 
American tribes; potentially affected landowners and other interested 
individuals and groups; and newspapers and libraries in the Project 
area. The draft EIS is only available in electronic format. It may be
