(EcoEl[eacute]ctrica) filed an application in Docket No. CP16-492-000 requesting a limited amendment under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act to operate certain liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities. The proposed project is known as the LNG Terminal Sendout Capacity Increase Project (Project), and would increase the vaporization send out capacity at EcoEl[eacute]ctrica's existing LNG terminal in Pe[ntilde]uelas, Puerto Rico to supply the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority with an additional 93 million cubic feet per day. On August 25, 2016, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project. Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the completion of the EA for the Project. Schedule for Environmental Review Issuance of EA, April 12, 2017. 90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline, July 11, 2017. If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the Project's progress. Project Description EcoEl[eacute]ctrica proposes to modify its current operations to use a spare vaporizer at its existing LNG terminal in Pe[ntilde]uelas, Puerto Rico. No changes would be made to the design of the existing LNG vaporization system, the existing LNG storage tank, or in-tank LNG sendout pumps as part of the Project. The Project would not include any construction activities and no ground disturbance would be required for construction or operation. Background On November 1, 2016, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Proposed LNG Terminal Sendout Capacity Increase Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues (NOI).
