[Docket No. CP14-12-000]


Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC; Sabine Pass LNG, L.P.; Notice of 
Application to Amend Authorization Under Section 3 of the Natural Gas 
Act

    Take notice that on October 25, 2013 Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC 
and Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. (collectively, Sabine Pass), 700 Milam 
Street, Suite 800, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. CP14-12-
000, an application, pursuant to section 3(a) of the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA) and Part 153 of the Commission's Regulations, to amend the 
authorizations granted on April 16, 2012 in Docket No. CP11-72-000 
(Liquefaction Project), as amended in Docket No. CP13-2 on August 2, 
2013, in order to increase the total LNG production capacity of the 
Liquefaction Project from the currently authorized 2.2 Bcf per day (803 
Bcf per year) to 2.76 Bcf per day (1,006 Bcf per year). Sabine Pass' 
requested increase in authorized capacity is an increase from the 
current, conservatively estimated nominal capacity to a peak or maximum 
capacity at ideal operating conditions. No new facilities are proposed, 
all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with 
the Commission and open to public inspection.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Patricia Outtrim, Vice President, Governmental and Regulatory Affairs, 
Cheniere Energy, Inc., 700 Milam Street, Suite 800, Houston, Texas 
77002, or call (713) 375-5000, or by email [email protected]. Or 
contact Lisa M. Tonery, Partner, Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, 666 Fifth 
Avenue, New York, NY 10103, or call (212)318-3009, or by email 
[email protected].
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either: 
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the 
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a 
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of

[[Page 66910]]

Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among 
other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's 
issuance of the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for 
this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record 
for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for 
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of 
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the 
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days 
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of 
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by 
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or 
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy 
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a 
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person 
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by 
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all 
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must 
submit an original and 7 copies of filings made with the Commission and 
must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the 
proceeding. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of 
Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have 
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with 
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and 
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project. 
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the 
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will 
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's 
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project 
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly 
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of 
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments 
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive 
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings 
associated with the Commission's environmental review process. 
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will 
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by 
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents 
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court 
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, 
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link 
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should 
submit an original and 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, 
DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the 
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's 
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription'' 
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive email 
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For 
assistance with any FERC Online service, please email 
[email protected], or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For 
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 14, 2013.

    Dated: October 31, 2013.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
