  • [Docket No. CP24-80-000]
  • This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission staff's revised schedule for the completion of the environmental assessment (EA) for Mississippi Hub, LLC's MS Hub Capacity Expansion Project. The first notice of schedule, issued on May 17, 2024, identified August 16, 2024, as the EA issuance date. However, additional time was required for Mississippi Hub, LLC to file complete responses to staff's environmental information requests, and for staff to review those responses. As a result, staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the EA.

    Schedule for Environmental Review

    Issuance of the EA: October 30, 2024

    90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline: January 28, 2025

    The Commission's deadline applies to the decisions of other federal agencies, and state agencies acting under federally delegated authority, that are responsible for federal authorizations, permits, and other approvals necessary for proposed projects under the Natural Gas Act. Per 18 CFR 157.22(a), the Commission's deadline for other agency's decisions applies unless a schedule is otherwise established by federal law.

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, an additional notice will be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the project's progress.
