Summary
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) prepared an EA for the Freeport LNG Train 4 Project, a proposal to site, construct, and operate pipeline, natural gas liquefaction, and export facilities near Freeport in Brazoria County, Texas. The project would be an expansion of Freeport LNG Development’s existing Quintana Island Terminal for liquefying domestic natural gas for export.
DOE was a cooperating agency in preparing the EA (DOE/EA-2105). DOE, Office of Fossil Energy, has an obligation under Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act to authorize the import and export of natural gas, including LNG, unless it finds that the import or export is not consistent with the public interest.
Additional information is available at the FERC eLibrary (“General Search” for docket number CP17-470) and at DOE's Office of Fossil Energy e-Docket for this project.
