Introduction
On April 2, 2025, FERC staff approved LED Enterprises, LLC request to enter into FERC’s Pre-filing Environmental Review Process (Pre-filing Process) for the planned Yuma Pipeline Project (Project). More information may be found in FERC Docket No. PF25-8-000 in FERC's eLibrary. Please note that the project has not been approved at this time.
Yuma Pipeline Project Route and Facilities
The Yuma Pipeline Project is planned to be approximately 140 miles of 30-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline to be located in Maricopa and Yuma counties, Arizona. According to LED Enterprises, the Project would transport up to 800 million cubic feet per day of natural gas from an interconnection with an existing El Paso Natural Gas Company pipeline to the United States/Mexico international border in San Luis, Arizona.
On March 26, 2026, the Applicants submitted this updated Project map to the docket. To view and download this map, please visit FERC's eLibrary and search Docket No. PF25-8-000.
Pre-filing Environmental Review Process
Pre-filing is a “pre-application” phase in the overall environmental review process for interstate natural gas or liquefied natural gas projects under FERC’s jurisdiction. The Pre-filing Process is designed to identify and address environmental aspects of the project before an official application is filed. The Pre-filing Process was established to encourage early involvement by stakeholders during the design and/or routing of an interstate natural gas project.
During the Pre-filing Process, members of the public will have multiple opportunities to get involved and express their views, concerns, and issues. Those opportunities include public comment periods, applicant-sponsored open houses, and scoping sessions hosted by FERC. These opportunities will be posted in FERC’s eLibrary in Docket No. PF25-8-000.
Public Participation Opportunities
Federal law requires FERC to seek out public comments and consider them during its review of a project. Public comments inform FERC’s reviews and serve to educate decision-makers about local concerns.
There are three methods you can use to submit your comments to FERC.
1. eComment
You can file your comments electronically using the eComment feature in FERC Online. Using eComment is an easy method for submitting brief, text-only comments.
2. eFiling
You can file your comments electronically by using the eFiling feature in FERC Online. With eFiling, you can provide comments in a variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your submission. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking on “eRegister.” You will be asked to select the type of filing you are making. A comment on a particular project is considered a “Comment on a Filing.”
3. File a paper copy
You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to FERC. Be sure to reference the Project Docket No. P-14890 on your letter. Submissions sent via the U.S. Postal Service must be addressed to:
Debbie-Anne A. Reese, Secretary
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
888 First Street NE, Room 1A
Washington, DC 20426
Submissions sent via any other carrier must be addressed to:
