On August 22, 2024, the staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) issued a Notice of Scoping Period Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Planned Gulfstream LNG Project and Notice of Public Scoping Sessions. The notice announced the ongoing scoping period that ends on September 23, 2024. On September 9, 2024, Commission staff issued a Notice of Cancellation of Public Scoping Sessions for the Gulfstream LNG Project. In that notice, staff advised that the Commission would issue another notice to establish the date and time of new sessions, if established and scheduled. With this notice FERC staff invites you to attend virtual public scoping sessions it will conduct by telephone for the planned Gulfstream LNG Project. This notice also extends the scoping period for the project, which will now close on October 21, 2024.
Gulfstream LNG Development, LLC (Gulfstream LNG) plans to construct and operate a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal facility for export, domestic sales, and storage along the Mississippi River in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. The project would consist of three mid-scale liquefaction trains capable of producing up to 4 million tons per annum of LNG combined; gas processing facilities; two marine loading docks; one LNG storage tank; flares; and other support and ancillary facilities. Feed gas would be sourced from an existing, on-site, 26-inch-diameter intrastate natural gas pipeline owned by High Point Gas Transmission, LLC.
The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix 1.
The appendix referenced in this notice will not appear in the Federal Register .

The primary goal of these scoping sessions is to have you identify the specific environmental issues and concerns that should be considered in the environmental document. Individual oral comments will be taken on a one-on-one basis with a court reporter present on the line. This format is designed to receive the maximum amount of oral comments in a convenient way during the timeframe allotted.
There will be a brief introduction by Commission staff when the sessions open. Important information about the FERC process will be provided, so please make every attempt to call in at the beginning of the meetings. All participants will be able to hear the one-on-one comments provided by other participants; however, all lines will remain closed during the comments of others and then opened one at a time for providing comments.
Your oral comments will be recorded by the court reporter (with FERC staff or representative present on the line) and become part of the public record for this proceeding. Transcripts will be publicly available on FERC's eLibrary system. If a significant number of people are interested in providing oral comments, a time limit of 3 minutes may be implemented for each commentor. It is important to note that oral comments hold the same weight as written or electronically submitted comments.
