Golden Pass Pipeline LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on May 13, 2020, Golden Pass Pipeline LLC (Golden 
Pass Pipeline), 811 Louisiana Street, Houston, Texas 77002, filed an 
application pursuant to section 7 of the Natural Gas Act and part 157 
of the Commission's regulations for authority to amend its order issued 
on December 21, 2016, granting Golden Pass LNG authority to site, 
construct and operate facilities for the exportation of liquefied 
natural gas and granting Golden Pass Pipeline authority to expand its 
existing pipeline system (Compression Relocation and Modification 
Project). The Compression Relocation and Modification Project consists 
of the following: (1) Relocation of an authorized compressor station 
from Milepost 66 to Milepost 69 on the Golden Pass Pipeline system; (2) 
additional compression at the relocated compressor station, (3) add a 
meter station near Milepost 69 to support an Interconnect with the

Gulf Run Transmission, LLC, (4) remove any bi-directional piping 
modification to the Interconnect for Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, 
L.L.C. (Tennessee Gas), (5) relocate looping facilities to reflect the 
relocation of the compressor station and the cancellation of Tennessee 
Gas as an input source to Golden Pass Pipeline, and (6) minor 
modifications to existing interconnections at Milepost 66 and Milepost 
68, all as more fully described in their application.
    Any questions regarding this application should be addressed to 
Blaine Yamagata, Vice President and General Counsel, Golden Pass LNG, 
811 Louisiana Street, Suite 1500, Houston, Texas 77002; or to Kevin M. 
Sweeney, Law Office of Kevin M. Sweeney, 1625 K Street NW, Washington, 
DC 20006, by telephone at (202) 609-7709.
    In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the 
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an 
opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this document via the 
internet through the Commission's Home Page (http://ferc.gov) using the 
eLibrary link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits 
in the docket number field to access the document. At this time, the 
Commission has suspended access to the Commission's Public Reference 
Room, due to the proclamation declaring a National Emergency concerning 
the Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), issued by the President on 
March 13, 2020. For assistance, contact FERC at 
[email protected] or call toll-free, (886) 208-3676 or TYY, 
(202) 502-8659.
    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 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 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 3 copies of filings made in the proceeding with the Commission 
and must provide a copy to the applicant and to every other party. 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 commenters will be 
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list and will be 
notified of any meetings associated with the Commission's environmental 
review process. Environmental commenters

[[Page 31774]]

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 and 
will not have the right to seek court review of the Commission's final 
order.
    As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in 
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice 
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any new Natural Gas Act 
section 3 or section 7 proceeding.\1\ Persons desiring to become a 
party to a certificate proceeding are to intervene in a timely manner. 
If seeking to intervene out-of-time, the movant is required to show 
good cause why the time limitation should be waived, and should provide 
justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule 214(d)(1) of 
the Commission's Rules and Regulations.\2\
