    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to John 
B. Tobola, Freeport LNG Development, L.P., 333 Clay Street, Suite 5050, 
Houston, TX 77002, (713) 980-2888; or Lisa M. Tonery, Norton Rose

    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 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 proceeding 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 requirement of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 
385.211) 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 filing made it the Commission by mail, 
hand delivery, or internet, in accordance with Rule 2001 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.2001). A copy 
must be served on every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to 
the proceeding may ask for court review of Commission orders in the 
proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene 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 and/
or associated pipeline. 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 person 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 commenters 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 commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed 
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters 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.
    If the Commission decides to set the application for a formal 
hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the Commission will issue 
another notice describing that process. At the end of the Commission's 
review process, a final Commission order approving or denying the 
requested authorization will be issued.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time July 15, 
2015.

    Dated: June 24, 2015.
Kimberly D. Bose,
Secretary.
