[Docket Nos. CP17-117-000; CP17-118-000]


Notice of Revised Schedule for Environmental Review of the 
Driftwood LNG LLC and Driftwood Pipeline LLC Driftwood LNG Project

    This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(FERC) staff's revised schedule for the completion of the environmental 
impact statement (EIS) for Driftwood LNG LLC's liquefied natural gas 
facility and for Driftwood Pipeline LLC's pipeline facilities, 
collectively referred to as the Driftwood LNG Project. The first notice 
of schedule, issued on December 22, 2017, identified October 12, 2018 
as the final EIS issuance date. Staff has revised the schedule for 
issuance of the final EIS, based on an issuance of the draft EIS in 
September 2018. The forecasted schedule for both the draft and final 
EIS is based upon Driftwood LNG LLC and Driftwood Pipeline LLC 
providing complete and timely responses to any future data requests. In 
addition, the schedule assumes that the cooperating agencies will 
provide input on their areas of responsibility on a timely basis.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of Notice of Availability of the final EIS--January 18, 2019
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--April 18, 2019

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, an additional notice will 
be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the 
project's progress.
