Public Scoping Session for the Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage 4 Project and the CCPL Expansion Project (CP26-82-000, CP26-87-000, and CP18-513-000)

Docket Nos. CP26-82-000, CP26-87-000, and CP18-513-000

The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or Commission) have prepared a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) for the CCL Stage 4 Project and CCPL Expansion Project (Project), proposed by Corpus Christi Liquefaction Stage IV, LLC, Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC, and Cheniere Corpus Christi Pipeline, L.P. (collectively, the Applicants). 

Any person wishing to comment on the draft EIS may do so.  To ensure consideration of your comments on the proposal in the final EIS, it is important that the Commission receive your comments on or before 5:00 pm Eastern Time on November 9, 2026.  Instructions for filing comments are provided on page 4.

In lieu of sending written or electronic comments, the Commission invites you to attend the public comment session its staff will conduct in the project area to receive comments on the draft EIS, scheduled as follows:

The primary goal of this comment session is to have you identify the specific environmental issues and concerns with the draft EIS.  Individual oral comments will be taken on a one-on-one basis with a court reporter.  This format is designed to receive the maximum amount of oral comments in a convenient way during the timeframe allotted. 

The comment session is scheduled from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm local time.  You may arrive at any time after 5:00 pm.  There will not be a formal presentation by Commission staff when the session opens.  If you wish to speak, the Commission staff will hand out numbers in the order of your arrival.  Comments will be taken until 8:00 pm.  However, if no additional numbers have been handed out and all individuals who wish to provide comments have had an opportunity to do so, staff may conclude the session at 7:30 pm.

Your oral comments will be recorded by the court reporter (with FERC staff or representative present) and become part of the public record for this proceeding.  Transcripts will be publicly available on FERC’s eLibrary system (see pages 3-4 for instructions on using eLibrary).  If a significant number of people are interested in providing oral comments in the one-on-one settings, a time limit of 5 minutes may be implemented for each commentor.  Although there will not be a formal presentation, Commission staff will be available throughout the comment session to answer your questions about the environmental review process.

It is important to note that the Commission provides equal consideration to all comments received, whether filed in written form or provided orally at a comment session.
