2023-07387. Tres Palacios Gas Storage LLC; Notice of Revised Schedule for Environmental Review of the Tres Palacios Cavern 4 Expansion Project

This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff's revised schedule for the completion of the environmental assessment (EA) for Tres Palacios Gas Storage LLC's (Tres Palacios) Cavern 4 Expansion Project. The first notice of schedule, issued on January 6, 2023, identified April 14, 2023, as the EA issuance date based upon receiving timely information from Tres Palacios. Staff-requested information needed by January 31, 2023 was not provided by Tres Palacios until March 17, 2023. Due to the delay in providing the necessary requested information, staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the EA.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of the EA May 12, 2023

90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline ^[1]  August 10, 2023

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