increase both the traffic volume and
work week/hour limits associated with
the construction of its terminal in
Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana from that
analyzed in the final Environmental
Impact Statement for the Plaquemines
LNG Project (Docket Nos. CP17–66–000
and CP17–67–000), which the
Commission authorized on September
30, 2019. The proposed Amendment
would increase construction to 24 hours
per day and 7 days a week for select
activities at the Plaquemines LNG
Terminal. The Commission will use the
EA in its decision-making process to
determine whether the Amendment is
in the public interest.
This notice announces the opening of
the scoping process the Commission
will use to gather input from the public
and interested agencies regarding the
Amendment. As part of the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
review process, the Commission takes
into account concerns the public may
have about proposals and the
environmental impacts that could result
from its action whenever it considers
the issuance of an authorization. This
gathering of public input is referred to
as ‘‘scoping.’’ The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis
in the EA on the important
environmental issues. Additional
information about the Commission’s
NEPA process is described below in the
NEPA Process section of this notice.
By this notice, the Commission
requests public comments on the scope
of issues to address in the EA. To ensure
that your comments are timely and
properly recorded, please submit your
comments so that the Commission
receives them in Washington, DC on or
before 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March
6, 2023. Comments may be submitted in
written form. Further details on how to
submit comments are provided in the
Public Participation section of this
notice.
Your comments should focus on the
potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives, and measures to
avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
Your input will help the Commission
staff determine what issues they need to
evaluate in the EA. Commission staff
will consider all written comments
during the preparation of the EA.
This notice is being sent to the
Commission’s current environmental
mailing list for this Amendment. State
and local government representatives
should notify their constituents of this
proposed Amendment and encourage
them to comment on their areas of
concern.
