If authorized, the Amendment would increase the workforce numbers, amount of traffic volume, and work week/hour limits that were not reviewed during preparation of the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Golden Pass LNG Export Project (Docket Nos. CP14–517– 000 and CP14–518–000), which the Commission authorized on December 21, 2016. Golden Pass proposed Amendment would increase construction to 24-hour-day and 7 days a week at the Golden Pass LNG Export Terminal.

The project has fallen into disrepair and has not operated since 2006. The project was transferred to the licensee by order dated March 12, 2015 (2015 Order). The 2015 Order required the licensee to file a plan and schedule to restore project operation within 60 days. Since that time, the Commission’s Division of Dam Safety and Inspections New York Regional Office (NYRO) has issued eight letters requiring the licensee to file a plan and schedule to make the needed repairs and to restore project operation. The licensee has responded over the years with at least five plans, but all have been deficient because they lack sufficient detail for NYRO’s review and approval. The licensee has never filed satisfactory plans and specifications to repair the project. On August 26, 2021, NYRO inspected the project and found it in unsatisfactory condition and largely abandoned. The licensee did not attend the inspection and has failed to respond to phone calls and emails since. In a final letter to the licensee dated October 18, 2021, NYRO again required the licensee to reply to past letters but the licensee has stopped responding to the Commission. m.

Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed Golden Pass LNG 
Export Variance Request No. 15 Amendment

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or

the environmental impacts of the Golden Pass LNG Export Variance 
Request No. 15 Amendment (Amendment), involving an increase to traffic 
volumes and work week and work hour limits by Golden Pass Terminal, LLC 
(Golden Pass), in Jefferson County, Texas. If authorized, the Amendment 
would increase the workforce numbers, amount of traffic volume, and 
work week/hour limits that were not reviewed during preparation of the 
final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Golden Pass LNG 
Export Project (Docket Nos. CP14-517-000 and CP14-518-000), which the 
Commission authorized on December 21, 2016. Golden Pass proposed 
Amendment would increase construction to 24-hour-day and 7 days a week 
at the Golden Pass LNG Export Terminal. The Commission will use this 
environmental document in its decision-making process to determine 
whether the project Amendment is in the public convenience and 
necessity.

potential peak workforce to 7700 workers per day. Golden Pass is also 
requesting the authority to increase traffic volumes to accommodate the 
additional workforce, and a 7-day-per-week, 24-hour-per-day, 
construction schedule for the remaining construction period at the 
terminal site; Golden Pass anticipates completing the Golden Pass LNG 
Export Project in 2025.

    Any environmental document issued by the Commission will discuss 
impacts that could occur as a result of the construction and operation 
of the proposed Amendment under the relevant general resource areas:
     Environmental Justice
     Air quality and noise; and
     Visual Resources.
