[Federal Register Volume 78, Number 109 (Thursday, June 6, 2013)] [Notices] [Pages 34089-34090] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 2013-13398] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY Federal Energy Regulatory Commission [Docket Nos. CP13-483-000; PF12-7-000] Jordan Cove Energy Project, L.P.; Notice of Application Take notice that on May 21, 2013, Jordan Cove Energy Project, L.P. (Jordan Cove), 125 Central Avenue, Suite 380, Coos Bay, Oregon 97420, filed in Docket No. CP13-483-000 an application under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Parts 153 and 380 of the Commission's regulations, seeking authorization to site, construct and operate a natural gas liquefaction and liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facility (Liquefaction Project) on the bay side of the North Spit of Coos Bay in unincorporated Coos County, Oregon, to the north of the Cities of North Bend and Coos Bay. The LNG Terminal will be capable of receiving natural gas via the Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline (Pacific Connector, applying separately for authorization under NGA section 7), liquefying it, storing it in its liquefied state in two cryogenic storage tanks, and loading the LNG onto ocean going vessels, all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. Copies of this filing are available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room, or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link.

For assistance, contact FERC at [email protected] or call toll- free, (886) 208-3676 or TTY, (202) 502-8659. Questions regarding this application should be directed to Beth L. Webb, Dickstein Shapiro LLP, 1825 Eye Street NW., Washington, DC 20006, or by telephone at 202-420-2200, or email at [email protected]. [[Page 34090]] On March 6, 2012, the Commission staff granted Jordan Cove's request to utilize the Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF12- 7 to staff activities involved with Jordan Cove's Liquefaction Project. Now, as of the filing of the application on May 21, 2013, the Pre- Filing Process for this project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be conducted in Docket No. CP13-483-000, as noted in the caption of this Notice. Because the environmental review of the Jordan Cove Energy Project must also include the Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline LP (Pacific Connector), as the connecting supply pipeline to the LNG terminal, the Commission cannot begin preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, until Pacific Connector's application is filed. Within 90 days after the Commission issues a Notice of Application for the Pacific Connector application, the Commission staff will issue a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review that will indicate the anticipated date for the Commission's staff issuance of the final EIS analyzing both proposals. The issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will also 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 Commission staff's final EIS. 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, before the comment date of this notice, 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 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. 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. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments, protests, and interventions via the internet in lieu of paper. See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the ``e-Filing'' link. Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426. Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 20, 2013. Dated: May 30, 2013. Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary. [FR Doc. 2013-13398 Filed 6-5-13; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6717-01-P
