Background
On March 8, 2018, the Commission
staff granted SPLNG’s request to use the
FERC’s pre-filing environmental review
process and assigned the Project Docket
No. PF18–3–000. On April 20, 2018, the
Commission issued a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an Environmental Assessment
for the Planned SPLNG Third Berth
Expansion Project, and Request for
Comments on Environmental Issues
(NOI). The NOI was issued during the
pre-filing review of the Project in Docket
No. PF18–3–000 and was sent to federal,
state, and local government agencies;
elected officials; affected landowners;
environmental and public interest
groups; Native American tribes and
regional organizations; commenters and
other interested parties; and local
libraries and newspapers. In response to
the NOI, the Commission received
comments from the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, the Louisiana
Department of Wildlife and Fisheries,
and the Choctaw Nation. The primary
issues raised by the commenters include
effects on threatened and endangered
species, wetland mitigation, and water
quality impacts. All substantive
comments will be addressed in the EA.
The U.S. Department of
Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Administration, U.S. Coast
Guard, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Louisiana Department of Wildlife and
Fisheries; U.S. Department of Energy,
and U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency are cooperating agencies in the
preparation of the EA.
Additional Information
In order to receive notification of the
issuance of the EA and to keep track of
all formal issuances and submittals in
specific dockets, the Commission offers
a free service called eSubscription. This
can reduce the amount of time you
spend researching proceedings by
automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: FERC–715, Annual
Transmission Planning and Evaluation
Report.
OMB Control No.: 1902–0171.
Abstract: Acting under FPA section
213,1 FERC requires each transmitting
utility that operates integrated
transmission system facilities rated
above 100 kilovolts (kV) to submit
annually:
• Contact information for the FERC–
715;
• Base case power flow data (if it does
not participate in the development and
use of regional power flow data);
• Transmission system maps and
diagrams used by the respondent for
transmission planning;
• A detailed description of the
transmission planning reliability criteria
used to evaluate system performance for
time frames and planning horizons used
in regional and corporate planning;
• A detailed description of the
respondent’s transmission planning
assessment practices (including, but not
limited to, how reliability criteria are
applied and the steps taken in
performing transmission planning
studies); and
• A detailed evaluation of the
respondent’s anticipated system
performance as measured against its
stated reliability criteria using its stated
assessment practices.
The FERC–715 enables the
Commission to use the information as
part of their regulatory oversight
functions which includes:
• The review of rates and charges;
• The disposition of jurisdictional
facilities;
• The consolidation and mergers;
• The adequacy of supply and;
• Reliability of the nation’s
transmission grid.
The FERC–715 enables the
Commission to facilitate and resolve
transmission disputes. Additionally, the
Office of Electric Reliability (OER) uses
the FERC–715 data to help protect and
improve the reliability and security of
the nation’s bulk power system. OER
oversees the development and review of
mandatory reliability and security
standards and ensures compliance with

the approved standards by the users,
owners, and operators of the bulk power
system. OER also monitors and
addresses issues concerning the nation’s
bulk power system including
assessments of resource adequacy and
reliability.

Without the FERC–715 data, the
Commission would be unable to
evaluate planned projects or requests
related to transmission.
Type of Respondent: Integrated
transmission system facilities rated at or
above 100 kilovolts (kV).

Estimate of Annual Burden: 2 The
Commission estimates the total annual
burden and cost 3 for this information
