Summary
This Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) EIS evaluates the potential environmental impacts of constructing and operating the Commonwealth LNG Project, a proposed LNG terminal with associated facilities and pipeline in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. DOE is a cooperating agency in preparing the EIS.
DOE, Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, 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: Natural Gas EAs and EISs that FERC issued as the lead agency are available on the FERC Natural Gas Natural Gas Environmental Documents website. For DOE Office of Fossil Energy records, see the eDocket index.
