[Docket Nos. CP17-21-001, CP17-21-000, CP18-7-000]


Port Arthur Pipeline LLC; Notice of Amendment to Application

    Take notice that on November 7, 2017, Port Arthur Pipeline LLC 
(Port Arthur Pipeline), 2925 Briarpark, Suite 900, Houston, Texas 
77042, filed an amendment to its application in Docket No. CP17-21-000, 
pursuant to section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) and Part 157 of 
the Commission's regulations for a certificate of public convenience 
and necessity to construct and operate the Texas Connector Project 
located in Orange and Jefferson Counties, Texas and Cameron Parish, 
Louisiana.
    Specifically, Port Arthur Pipeline filed an amendment to its 
proposed Rate Schedules and General Terms and Conditions (GT&C) to 
reflect the pro forma tariff proposed by Port Arthur Pipeline in Docket 
No. CP18-7-000 for its Louisiana Connector Project. Further, Port 
Arthur Pipeline proposes changes to its initial rates for service 
through the Texas Connector Project to reflect changes to: (i) The 
Allowance for Funds Used During Construction, (ii) the rate for service 
under Port Arthur Pipeline's proposed Rate Schedule Enhanced Hourly 
Firm Transportation; and (iii) the precedent agreement between Port 
Arthur Pipeline and Port Arthur LNG, LLC (Port Arthur LNG) executed in 
association with the open seasons

[[Page 57594]]

conducted in November 2016 and in August and September 2017, under 
which Port Arthur LNG subscribed for all of the capacity of the Texas 
Connector Project. Port Arthur Pipeline submitted updated Exhibits I, 
K, N, O, and P, all as more fully set forth in the application which is 
on file with the Commission and open to public inspection.
    The filing may 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, (886) 208-3676 or TYY, (202) 502-8659.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to 
Jerrod L. Harrison, Senior Counsel, Port Arthur Pipeline, LLC, 488 8th 
Avenue, San Diego, California 92101, by phone at (619) 696-2987, or by 
email to [email protected].
    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 impact statement (EIS) 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) for this proposal. The 
filing of the FEIS 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.
    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.
    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 five copies of the protest or intervention to 
the Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426.
    Comment date: December 21, 2017.

    Dated: November 30, 2017.
