[Docket No. CP19-514-000]
Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC; Notice of Application To Amend
Take notice that on September 27, 2019, Corpus Christi
Liquefaction, LLC (CCL), 700 Milam Street, Suite 1900, Houston, Texas
77002, filed in Docket No. CP19-514-000 an application pursuant to
section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) requesting authorization to
increase the total liquefied natural gas (LNG) production capacity of
the Liquefaction Project from the currently authorized 767 billion
cubic feet per year (Bcf/y) to 875.16 Bcf/y, which represents an
increase of 108.16 Bcf/y, in Nueces County, Texas. CCL states that the
increase is based on certain enhancements during the engineering,
design, and construction process, as well as operational experience to
date. CCL states that these enhancements do not involve additional
construction of new facilities nor do they require additional LNG
vessel transits beyond those already authorized, all as more fully set
forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and open
to public inspection.

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 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 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 five 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 commenters 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 commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters 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.
As of the February 27, 2018 date of the Commission's order in
Docket No. CP16-4-001, the Commission will apply its revised practice
concerning out-of-time motions to intervene in any
[[Page 55572]]
new NGA section 3 or section 7 proceeding.\1\ Persons desiring to
become a party to a certificate proceeding are to intervene in a timely
manner. If seeking to intervene out-of-time, the movant is required to
show good cause why the time limitation should be waived, and should
provide justification by reference to factors set forth in Rule
214(d)(1) of the Commission's Rules and Regulations.\2\

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 original and five copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE, Washington,
DC 20426.
