[Docket No. CP25-205-000; Docket No. CP25-205-001]
Golden Pass LNG Terminal, LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Supply Lateral Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) have prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the
Supply Lateral Project (Project), proposed by Golden Pass LNG Terminal,
LLC (Golden Pass LNG) in the above referenced dockets.\1\ The Project
would consist of approximately 0.22 mile of 42-inch-diameter pipeline
supply lateral, a receipt interconnect, two meter station pads, and
appurtenant facilities, all located within the Golden Pass LNG property
boundary in Jefferson County, Texas. The proposed facilities are
designed to facilitate interconnections with one intrastate pipeline
and one interstate pipeline and transport up to 2.6 million dekatherms
per day to the Golden Pass LNG Terminal with the purpose of providing
flexibility and security of feed gas supply.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For tracking purposes under the National Environmental
Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating
to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1756911850.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Project in accordance with the
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). FERC
staff concludes that approval of the proposed Project would not
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment.
The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability of the
EA to federal, state, and local government representatives and
agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups;
Native American tribes; potentially affected landowners and other
interested individuals and groups; and newspapers and libraries in the
Project area. The EA is only available in electronic format. It may be
viewed and downloaded from FERC's website (www.ferc.gov), on the
natural gas environmental documents page (https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents). In
addition, the EA may be accessed by using the eLibrary link on FERC's
website. Click on the eLibrary link (https://elibrary.ferc.gov/eLibrary/search) select ``General Search'' and enter the docket number
in the ``Docket Number'' field (i.e., CP25-205). Be sure you have
selected an appropriate date range. For assistance, please contact FERC
Online Support at [email protected] or toll free at (866) 208-
3676, or for TTY, contact (202) 502-8659.
The EA is not a decision document. It presents Commission staff's
independent analysis of the environmental issues for the Commission to
consider when addressing the merits of all issues in this proceeding.
Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments should
focus on the EA's disclosure and discussion of potential environmental
effects, measures to avoid or lessen environmental effects, the
completeness of the submitted alternatives, and information and
analyses. The more specific your comments, the more useful they would
[[Page 44813]]
be. To ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to consider your
comments prior to making its decision on this Project, it is important
that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or before 5:00 p.m.
Eastern Time on October 14, 2025.
For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. The Commission encourages electronic
filing of comments and has staff available to assist you at (866) 208-

Filing environmental comments will not give you intervenor status,
but you do not need intervenor status to have your comments considered.
Only intervenors have the right to seek rehearing or judicial review of
the Commission's decision. At this point in this proceeding, the
timeframe for filing timely intervention requests has expired. Any
person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a motion
to intervene out-of-time pursuant to Rule 214(b)(3) and (d) of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214(b)(3) and
(d)) and show good cause why the time limitation should be waived.
Motions to intervene are more fully described at https://www.ferc.gov/how-intervene.
Additional information about the Project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC website (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. The eLibrary link
also provides access to the texts of all formal documents issued by the
Commission, such as orders, notices, and rulemakings.
The Commission's Office of Public Participation (OPP) supports
meaningful public engagement and participation in Commission
proceedings. OPP can help members of the public, including landowners,
community organizations, Tribal members and others, access publicly
available information and navigate Commission processes. For public

the documents. Go to https://www.ferc.gov/ferc-online/overview to
register for eSubscription.
