Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Docket No. CP2055000

Port Arthur LNG Phase II, LLC; PALNG
Common Facilities Company, LLC;
Notice of Availability of the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Port Arthur LNG Expansion Project The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission FERC or Commission has prepared an environmental assessment EA for the Port Arthur LNG Expansion Project, proposed by Port Arthur LNG Phase II, LLC and PALNG Common Facilities Company, LLC collectively referred to as Applicant in the above-referenced docket. The Applicant requests authorization to expand the previously certificated Port Arthur Liquefaction Terminal in Jefferson County, Texas by siting, constructing, and operating additional liquefied natural gas LNG
facilities to increase the terminals capability to liquefy natural gas for export by 13.46 million tonnes per annum MTPA. The Port Arthur LNG
Expansion Project would increase the terminals total liquefaction capacity from 13.46 MTPA to 26.92 MTPA.
The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the construction and operation of the Port Arthur LNG Expansion 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. Department of Energy, U.S.
Department of Transportation, and U.S.
Coast Guard 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.
The proposed Port Arthur LNG
Expansion Project includes the following facilities:
Two liquefaction trains Trains 3
and 4 each with a maximum LNG
production capacity of 6.73 MTPA
