Venture Global Calcasieu Pass, LLC; TransCameron Pipeline, LLC: 
Notice of Applications

    Take notice that on September 4, 2015, Venture Global Calcasieu 
Pass, LLC (Venture Global) and TransCameron Pipeline, LLC 
(TransCameron), 2200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Suite 600 West, Washington, 
DC 20037, filed in Docket Nos. CP15-550-000 and CP15-551-000 a joint 
application pursuant to sections 3 and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act 
(NGA), for authorization to construct, install, own, operate, and 
maintain certain pipeline and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities 
entirely located in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, that comprise the 
Venture Global Calcasieu Pass Terminal and TransCameron Pipeline 
Project (Project). In the application TransCameron also request a Part 
284, Subpart G blanket certificate and Part 157, Subpart F blanket 
certificate per regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
(FERC or Commission) all as more fully set forth in the application 
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    The filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov 
using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last 
three digits in the docket number field to access the document. For 
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at 
[email protected] or toll free at (866) 208-3676, or TTY, 
contact (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions concerning this application may be directed to Fory 
Musser, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development, Venture Global 
LNG, Inc., 2200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Suite 600 West, Washington, DC 
20037.
    Specifically, Venture Global and TransCameron propose to site, 
construct, own, and operate a new LNG export terminal and to construct, 
own, and operate the 23.5-mile-long East Lateral and 19.2-mile-long 
West Lateral. The pipelines are designed to deliver approximately 
1,900,000 Dth/d of firm transportation service. Project cost for the 
pipelines is estimated at $344.5 million and negotiated rates are 
proposed. The requested order date and proposed pre-commercial in-
service date are September 1, 2016 and July 1, 2019 respectively.
    On October 7, 2014, the Commission staff granted Venture Global and 
TransCameron request to utilize the Pre-Filing Process and assigned 
Docket No. PF15-2-000 to staff activities involved in the above 
referenced projects. Now, as of the filing of the September 4, 2015 
application, the Pre-Filing Process for this project has ended. From 
this time forward, this proceeding will be conducted in Docket Nos. 
CP15-550-000 and CP15-551-000, as noted in the caption of this Notice.
    Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9, 
within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission staff will 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) for this proposal. 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.
    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

[[Page 57605]]

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