EcoEléctrica L.P.; Notice of Availability of the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Ecoeléctrica LNG Supply Pipeline Capacity Project
The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the EcoEléctrica LNG Supply Pipeline Capacity Project (Project) proposed by EcoEléctrica L.P. (EcoEléctrica) in the above-referenced docket. 1 EcoEléctrica proposes to increase the existing LNG Supply Pipeline Project send out capacity between the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal in Peñuelas, Puerto Rico and the off-site, non-jurisdictional Crowley Puerto Rico LLC Truck Loading Facility (TLF) from 250 gallons per minute (gpm) to 500 gpm. The Project entails adjusting software pressure and flow control setpoints to allow for the increased flow of LNG at the inlet of the LNG Supply Pipeline. EcoEléctrica states that the purpose of the project is to satisfy the increasing demand for LNG from the TLF and its downstream users in Puerto Rico.

1 ?For tracking purposes under the National Environmental Policy Act, the unique identification number for documents relating to this environmental review is EAXX-019-20-000-1730221396.
The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the Project in accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act. The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed project would not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
The U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Department of Transportation participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of the EA. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by the proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis.
The Commission mailed a copy of the Notice of Availability of the EA to federal, state, and local government representatives and agencies; elected officials; environmental and public interest groups; potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and groups. The EA is only available in electronic format. It may be viewed and downloaded from the FERC's website ( www.ferc.gov ), on the natural gas environmental documents page ( https://www.ferc.gov/industries-data/natural-gas/environment/environmental-documents ). In addition, the EA may be accessed by using the eLibrary link on the FERC's website.
