Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 79 / Thursday, April 23, 2020 / Notices are kept informed of the Project’s progress. Project Description The Expansion Project would be located on approximately 900 acres near the City of Port Arthur in Jefferson County, Texas, entirely within the previously authorized Port Arthur LNG Liquefaction Terminal site. The Project would include two new liquefaction trains (Trains 3 and 4), each with its own gas treatment facilities and capable of producing 6.73 MTPA; and associated utilities and infrastructure related to Trains 3 and 4. lotter on DSKBCFDHB2PROD with NOTICES Background On June 25, 2019, the Commission staff granted PALNG–II and PCFC’s request to use the FERC’s Pre-filing environmental review process and assigned the Expansion Project Docket No. PF19–5. On October 1, 2019, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment Statement for the Planned Port Arthur LNG Expansion Project, and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues (NOI). The NOI was issued during the pre-filing review of the Project in Docket No. PF19–5 and sent to affected landowners; federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials; and other interested parties. In response to the NOI, comments were received from the Texas Historical Commission and the Sabine Center for Climate Change Law, All substantive comments will be addressed in the EA. The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and U.S. Department of Energy are cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EA.

The conduit the facility uses is a tunnel, canal, pipeline, aqueduct, flume, ditch, or similar manmade water conveyance that is operated for the distribution of water for agricultural, municipal, or industrial consumption and not primarily for the generation of electricity. The facility is constructed, operated, or maintained for the generation of electric power and uses for such generation only the hydroelectric potential of a non-federally owned conduit. The facility has an installed capacity that does not exceed 40 megawatts ................................... On or before August 9, 2013, the facility is not licensed, or exempted from the licensing requirements of Part I of the FPA.
