[Docket Nos. CP17-117-000; CP17-118-000; PF16-6-000]


Driftwood LNG LLC, Driftwood Pipeline LLC; Notice of Application

    Take notice that, on March 31, 2017, Driftwood LNG, LLC (DWLNG), 
1201 Louisiana Street, Suite 3100, Houston, TX 77002, filed an 
application seeking authorization pursuant to Section 3(a) of the 
Natural Gas Act (``NGA''), and Parts 153 and 380 of the regulations of 
the Commission for the proposed Driftwood LNG Project located in 
Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. Specifically, DWLNG requests authorization 
to construct and operate liquefied natural gas (LNG) export facilities, 
including five LNG plants, three LNG storage tanks, marine facilities 
and associated infrastructure and support facilities (Facility). In 
total, the Facility will produce up to 26 million tonnes per annum 
(MTPA) of natural gas.
    Also take notice that, on March 31, 2017, Driftwood Pipeline, LLC 
(DWPL), 1201 Louisiana Street, Suite 3100, Houston, TX 77002, filed an 
application, pursuant to Section 7(c) of the NGA and Parts 157 and 284 
of the Commission's regulations, requesting that the Commission grant a 
certificate of public convenience and necessity, and related approvals, 
authorizing DWPL to construct and operate, an approximately 96-mile 
interstate natural gas pipeline, compression and related facilities. 
The pipeline will be capable of transporting up to 4 Bcf/d of natural 
gas to the Facility, 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, contact FERC at [email protected] or call toll-
free, (866) 208-3676 or TTY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Patricia Outtrim, Driftwood LNG, LLC, 1201 Louisiana Street, Suite 
3100, Houston, TX 77002, (832) 962-4000, [email protected]; 
or Lisa M. Tonery, Partner, Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, 51 West 
52nd Street, New York, N.Y. 10019-6142, (212) 506-3710, 
[email protected].
    On June 6, 2016 the Commission staff granted Driftwood's request to 
utilize the Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF16-6-000 to 
staff activities involved in the Driftwood LNG Project. Now, as of the 
March 31, 2017 application, the Pre-Filing Process for this project has 
ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be conducted in 
Docket Nos. CP17-117-000 and CP17-118-000, 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 7 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

[[Page 18141]]

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 an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the 
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, 
DC 20426.
    There is an ``eSubscription'' link on the Web site that enables 
subscribers to receive email notification when a document is added to a 
subscribed docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online service, 
please email [email protected], or call (866) 208-3676 (toll
