The project facilities described are proposed to support the Sabine Pass facilities previously authorized.

FERC wants comment on the scoping process it will use to gather public input, which will help it decide what issues to evaluate in the EA.
The proposed project consists of several facilities: a heavies removal unit located within the existing Sabine Pass facility; condensate storage, metering and send-out facilities; four gas pipeline meter stations; additional workspaces, laydown and parking areas; construction and operation of two additional water supply pipelines to be installed via horizontal directional drill and the associated workspace for the HDD entry and exit sites; and natural gas liquids truck-loading facilities.
Comments on the scope of the EA are due Feb. 7. They can be filed electronically via the eComment and eFiling features at www.ferc.gov. Paper comments can be submitted to Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, FERC, 888 First Street, NE, Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426
