2024-11248. Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC, CCL Midscale 8-9, LLC; Notice of Revised Schedule for Environmental Review of the Corpus Christi Liquefaction Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project

This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff's revised schedule for the completion of the environmental assessment (EA) for Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC's and CCL Midscale 8-9, LLC's (collectively referred to as, CCL) Corpus Christi Liquefaction Midscale Trains 8 & 9 Project. The first notice of schedule, issued on November 3, 2023, identified March 15, 2024 as the EA issuance date. However, staff identified additional information needs in response to CCL's full impact air dispersion analysis for criteria air pollutants filed on March 5, 2024, which resulted in a schedule delay for the issuance of the EA. CCL responded to our information requests on March 19, March 27, and April 24, 2024, providing the information needed to complete our analysis. As a result, staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the EA.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of the EA—June 21, 2024

90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline ^[1] —September 19, 2024

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.

Additional Information

In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EA and to keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets, the Commission offers a free service called eSubscription. This can reduce the amount of time you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to the documents.
