The notice of revised schedule, issued on December 12, 2019, identified an April 24, 2020 environmental assessment (EA) issuance date. This schedule was based upon Trans-Foreland providing complete and timely responses to any data requests. In its March 18, 2020 response to FERC staff’s March 3, 2020 data request, Trans-Foreland stated it was pursuing an equivalency determination from the United States Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) pertaining to the trim vaporizer it proposes to locate within the liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank impoundment area.1 Because the PHMSA equivalency determination is necessary for completion of the EA, the Commission 1 While PHMSA issued a letter of determination (LOD) on March 25, 2020 that addresses the siting of LNG facilities, including the vaporizer, under Subpart B of its regulations, the LOD does not address Trans-Foreland’s March 17, 2020 equivalency determination request. PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 20681 will suspend the environmental review schedule for the project. Once staff has reviewed the PHMSA equivalency determination, FERC will issue an additional revised schedule for the EA. This is not a suspension of the FERC staff’s review of Trans-Foreland’s project. Staff will continue to process Trans-Foreland’s proposal to the extent possible based upon the information it has filed to date. Additional Information In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EA and to keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets, the Commission offers a free service called eSubscription. This can reduce the amount of time you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to the documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/docsfiling/esubscription.asp.
