CCL requests authorization to construct and operate two midscale liquification trains; on-site refrigerant storage, end flash, and boiloff gas facilities; and proposes an increase in the authorized loading rate of LNG ship carriers. The proposed action is an expansion of the previously authorized Liquefaction Project and Stage 3 Project facilities (authorized under Docket Nos. CP12–507–000 and CP18–512–000, respectively, and collectively referred to as CCL Terminal) in San Patricio and Nueces counties, Texas. The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Department of Energy, and U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline, and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EA. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis. CCL’s proposed Project includes the construction and operation of two midscale liquification trains, on-site refrigerant storage, an end flash gas unit, and a boil-off gas compressor. Additionally, CCL proposes to increase the authorized loading rate at the existing CCL Terminal marine berth from 12,000 cubic meters per hour (m3/ hr) (previously authorized in the Liquefaction Project) to 14,000 m3/hr E:\FR\FM\27JNN1.SGM 27JNN1
