[Docket Nos. CP17-20-001, CP17-21-002, CP18-7-001]


 Port Arthur LNG, LLC, Port Arthur Pipeline, LLC; Notice Granting 
Intervention

    On August 2, 2022, the Commission issued notice of Port Arthur LNG, 
LLC and Port Arthur Pipeline, LLC's (jointly, Port Arthur) request for 
an extension of time to complete construction of and make available for 
service the Port Arthur LNG Terminal and the non-integrated Louisiana 
Connector Project and Texas Connector Project. The notice established 
August 17, 2022, as the deadline for filing motions to intervene.
    On August 17, 2022, the Sierra Club filed a timely motion to 
intervene and protest the extension of time request. Port Arthur 
opposes this motion, stating that Sierra Club has not shown it will be 
directly affected by the outcome of the proceeding nor that its 
participation is in the public interest.\1\ Pursuant to Rule 214(c)(2) 
of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, if an answer in 
opposition to a timely motion to intervene is filed within 15 days 
after the motion to intervene is filed, the movant becomes a party only 
when the motion is expressly granted.\2\

    \1\ Port Arthur LNG, LLC et al. September 1, 2022 Answer 
Opposing Motion to Intervene in Docket No. CP17-20-001 et al.
    \2\ 18 CFR 385.214(c)(2) (2021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Sierra Club's motion to intervene was timely filed on August 
17, 2022, and it demonstrates that the Sierra Club has interests that 
may be directly affected by the outcome of the extension of time 
proceeding. Moreover, allowing the intervention will not cause any 
additional burden upon the existing parties and is thus in the public 
interest. The Sierra Club's motion to intervene is granted.
    This notice constitutes final agency action. Requests for rehearing 
of this notice must be filed within 30 days of the date of issuance of 
this notice, pursuant to section 313(a) of the Federal Power Act, 16 
U.S.C. 825l(a), and Rule 713 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure, 18 CFR 385.713.

    Dated: September 21, 2022.

Deputy Secretary.
