[Docket No. CP17-178-000]
Alaska Gasline Development Corporation; Notice of Revised
Schedule for Environmental Review of the Alaska LNG Project
This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission) staff's revised schedule for the completion of the
environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Alaska Gasline Development
Corporation's (AGDC) Alaska LNG Project. The previous notice of
schedule, issued on August 31, 2018, identified November 8, 2019 as the
final EIS issuance date. The previous notice stated that the forecasted
schedule was based upon AGDC providing complete and timely responses to
any data requests. In its partial data request responses filed in
January and February 2019, AGDC states that it would provide the
remainder of the responses in stages through July 2019. As a result,
staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the EIS. The revised
schedule for the EIS is based upon AGDC meeting its commitment to
provide complete responses to outstanding data requests on the dates it
has identified. Staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the
final EIS based on an issuance of the draft EIS in June 2019.
Schedule for Environmental Review
Issuance of Notice of Availability of the final EIS--March 6, 2020
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--June 4, 2020
In an additional notice issued on August 31, 2018, the Commission
identified February 6, 2020 as the anticipated final order issuance for
the Alaska LNG Project. Based on the revised final EIS schedule, the
Commission currently anticipates issuing a final order for the project
no later than:
Issuance of Final Order--June 4, 2020
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.
