Notice of Extension of Comment Period and Additional Public Scoping 
Meetings for the Jordan Cove Liquefaction and Pacific Connector

    This notice announces the extension of the public scoping process 
and comment period for Jordan Cove Energy Project LP's (Jordan Cove) 
proposed liquefaction project in Coos County, Oregon, in Docket No. 
PF12-7-000, and Pacific Connector Gas Pipeline LP's (Pacific Connector) 
proposed pipeline project crossing portions of Klamath, Jackson, 
Douglas, and Coos Counties, Oregon, in Docket No. PF12-17-000. In 
addition to extending the scoping period, the Commission staff will 
conduct two additional public scoping meetings, with dates and times to

    On August 2, 2012, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC 
or Commission), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture 
Forest Service (Forest Service), and the U.S. Department of the 
Interior Bureau of Land Management (BLM), issued a Notice of Intent to 
Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Planned Jordan Cove 
Liquefaction and Pacific Connector Pipeline Projects, Requests for 
Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public Scoping Meetings 
(NOI). The NOI solicited comments on the potential environmental 
impacts of the proposed projects and announced the time and location of 
four public meetings. The environmental comments received will allow 
the staffs of the Commission, Forest Service, and BLM to focus 
attention on issues important to the public during our preparation of 
an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the projects.
    You can attend any of the scoping meetings to provide verbal 
comments.\1\ In lieu of or in addition to providing comments at the 
meetings, you can submit written comments to the Commission. In order 
for your written comments to be considered and addressed in the EIS,

(PF12-7-000 and PF12-17-000) with your submission.
