[Docket No. CP14-12-000]
Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC; Sabine Pass LNG, L.P.; Notice of
Application to Amend Authorization Under Section 3 of the Natural Gas
Act
Take notice that on October 25, 2013 Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC
and Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. (collectively, Sabine Pass), 700 Milam
Street, Suite 800, Houston, Texas 77002, filed in Docket No. CP14-12-
000, an application, pursuant to section 3(a) of the Natural Gas Act
(NGA) and Part 153 of the Commission's Regulations, to amend the
authorizations granted on April 16, 2012 in Docket No. CP11-72-000
(Liquefaction Project), as amended in Docket No. CP13-2 on August 2,
2013, in order to increase the total LNG production capacity of the
Liquefaction Project from the currently authorized 2.2 Bcf per day (803
Bcf per year) to 2.76 Bcf per day (1,006 Bcf per year). Sabine Pass'
requested increase in authorized capacity is an increase from the
current, conservatively estimated nominal capacity to a peak or maximum
capacity at ideal operating conditions. No new facilities are proposed,
all as more fully set forth in the application which is on file with
the Commission and open to public inspection.
Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Patricia Outtrim, Vice President, Governmental and Regulatory Affairs,
Cheniere Energy, Inc., 700 Milam Street, Suite 800, Houston, Texas
77002, or call (713) 375-5000, or by email [email protected]. Or
contact Lisa M. Tonery, Partner, Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, 666 Fifth
Avenue, New York, NY 10103, or call (212)318-3009, or by email
[email protected].
Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of
[[Page 66910]]
Schedule for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among
other milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's
issuance of the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for
this proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record
for this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will 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 FEIS or EA.
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, on or
before the comment date stated below, 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 an original and 7 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.
Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426.
This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
link on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive email
notification when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For
assistance with any FERC Online service, please email
[email protected], or call (866) 208-3676 (toll free). For
TTY, call (202) 502-8659.
Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 14, 2013.
Dated: October 31, 2013.

Secretary.
