Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline LP; Jordan Cove Energy Project 
L.P.; Notice of Revised Schedule for the Environmental Review and the 
Final Order for the Jordan Cove Energy Project

    This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(Commission) staff's revised schedule for the completion of the 
environmental impact statement (EIS) for the Jordan Cove Energy 
Project. The first notice of schedule, issued on August 31, 2018, 
identified August 30, 2019 as the final EIS issuance date. The previous 
notice states, however, that the forecasted schedule assumes that the 
cooperating agencies will provide input on their areas of 
responsibility on a timely basis. Due to the funding lapse at certain

[[Page 8096]]

federal agencies between December 22, 2018 and January 25, 2019, an 
extension is required for the cooperating agencies to complete their 
respective input. Staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the 
final EIS, based on an issuance of the draft EIS in March 2019.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of Notice of Availability of the final EIS--October 11, 2019
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--January 9, 2020

    In an additional notice issued on August 31, 2018, the Commission 
identified November 29, 2019 as the anticipated final order issuance 
for the Jordon Cove Energy Project. Based on the revised final EIS 
schedule, the Commission currently anticipates issuing a final order 
for the project no later than:

Issuance of Final Order--January 9, 2020

    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.
