Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, LLC, Southern Natural Gas 
Company, LLC; Notice of Revised Schedule for Environmental Review of 
the Evangeline Pass Expansion Project

    This notice identifies the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
staff's revised schedule for the completion of the environmental 
assessment (EA) for Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company LLC's (Tennessee) 
and Southern Natural Gas Company LLC's (SNG) Evangeline Pass Expansion 
Project. The first notice of schedule, issued on April 3, 2020, 
identified July 27, 2020 as the EA issuance date. On April 13, 2020 and 
June 12, 2020, FERC staff requested additional environmental 
information to assist in its EA analysis regarding pile driving and 
associated noise and vibration impacts on aquatic species, including 
essential fish habitat and threatened and endangered species; 
floodplain development; and horizontal directional drilling. Tennessee 
filed a portion of the requested information on June 30, 2020 and 
stated that the additional information would be filed on July 14, 2020. 
To provide appropriate time to review and complete the analysis of the 
necessary supplemental information, Commission staff has revised the 
schedule for issuance of the EA, as described below.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of EA--August 24, 2020
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline--November 23, 2020

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