2022-14013. Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC; Notice of Revised Schedule for Environmental Review of the Calcasieu Pass Uprate Amendment Project

This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) staff's revised schedule for the completion of the environmental assessment (EA) for Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC's (Calcasieu Pass) Uprate Amendment Project. The first notice of schedule, issued on April 27, 2022, identified June 24, 2022 as the EA issuance date. However, this schedule was based upon Calcasieu Pass providing complete and timely responses to any data requests. Commission staff issued an engineering data request to Calcasieu Pass on May 9, 2022, requesting responses by May 14 and May 23, 2022. Calcasieu Pass's responses to those requests were filed on May 20 and June 3, 2022. Due to Calcasieu Pass' delay in responding to FERC staff's May 9, 2022 data request, staff must revise the schedule for issuance of the EA.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of the EA—August 5, 2022

90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline ^[1] —November 3, 2022

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.
